PDO Thread Lift - Nonsurgical Facelift with Anewthreads

​

We, at Bella Luna Aesthetic Center, are thrilled to offer this new PDO absorbable Thread Lift procedure to our clients. The PDO Thread Lift procedure safely and instantly lifts up loose skin on the face and neck  with minimal downtime.

 

Thread Lift is one the most effective ways to lift the loose skin without surgery. As we age, the effects of gravity become more noticeable on our faces, especially as our facial support structure weakens and we lose facial fat. The areas that are generally affected are the eyebrows, areas around the eyes, the cheeks, the jowls and the neck. The result is a longer, more square-shaped and older-looking face.

 

Traditionally, most people would look into plastic surgery to get a facelift as there weren’t very effective noninvasive treatments to lift the loose skin. However, now there is an effective nonsurgical option that can lift and contour and suspend the sagging tissues on the face, neck and the body, especially for those that need only minimal to moderate rejuvenation or for those that do not wish to undergo surgical intervention.

​

What are anewthreads and how does it work?

​

Anewthreads are hypodermic needles preloaded with a synthetic PDO absorbable suture. PDO (polydioxanone) sutures are surgical sutures that are used to perform cardiac surgery. All sutures are FDA-approved and PDO sutures are one of the safest materials that can be used in the body. Your skin will fully absorb the Anewthread within 4 to 6 months without leaving any scar tissue.
 

While the sutures are underneath the skin, however, your skin gently reacts  creating a “selective inflammatory response” to produce collagen to create a longer-lasting result: This principle is behind a lot of aesthetic procedures (such as fractioned lasers, skin tightening treatments and microneedling). Our skin is excellent at repairing itself, and by inserting the Anewthreads underneath the skin to lift the loose skin, the skin will heal itself by creating new collagen,naturally!

How is the PDO Thread Lift performed?

​

• The areas to be treated will be numbed with topical as well as local anesthetic.

• The areas to be treated are then marked.

• The threads are then inserted under the skin in precise locations using a small hollow needle to lift and support droopy elements without removing any skin. The inserted thread is then able to grasp onto the droopy skin and soft tissue to reposition the skin. This requires no cuts or incisions. It’s purely done by injections.

• With the lift effect secured, the hollow needle is removed without leaving any scars.

• Depending on the desired effect of the lift, few to several sutures will be used.

• The PDO suture remains underneath the skin. Different sutures and lengths will be used depending upon the area(s) you need lifted.
