If you are looking for a more youthful looking appearance without the stress or trauma of surgery, a non-surgical PDO thread lift is the perfect choice, leaving you with smoother, younger looking skin in under an hour.

Many people have never even heard of a thread lift and are certainly unaware that can lead to results as impressive as that of a surgical facelift, so we have put together this guide to help change this.

Read on to discover everything that you need to know about how thread lifts work, where they can be used, the results they can be used to achieve, and the possible risks attached with the treatment.

How do thread lifts work?

Thread lifts work by holding the skin in a position that appears more youthful, drawing skin together to achieve a tighter and smoother looking face.

The precise way in which your threads are inserted will decide which way the skin is pulled and will depend on the results that you are trying to achieve, as discussed with your doctor prior to treatment.

These threads will be absorbed by the body over the period of just a few months, making the treatment very low-risk and reversable, but results can often last a year, or even longer.

This is due to the fact that inserting PDO material into the skin causes the body to begin producing collagen and elastin, substances responsible for elasticity in the face that decline as you age.

This effect continues even after the threads themselves have been absorbed, making thread lifts one of the longest lasting non-surgical cosmetic treatment.

What are the benefits of a thread lift?

The benefits of a PDO thread lift Glasgow are vast, making it no surprise that they are one of the fastest growing cosmetic treatments in the Glasgow area.

Immediately after leaving the clinic, having had a thread lift treatment, you will begin to see the result earning you plenty of compliments on how fantastic you are looking from your friends and colleagues. Get ready for plenty more of these in the months to come as the collagen in your body begins to work its magic.

Thread lifts are also incredibly adaptable and can be used to achieve a variety of different results, from smoothing wrinkles around the eyes, to reducing sagging skin and smoothing the surface of your face.

The exact results achieved will depend on a number of factors including how receptive your body is to the treatment but mainly where the threads are inserted and in what direction. Given the importance of the injection site, and the precision in which threads must be inserted to achieve the desired outcome, it is crucial that you use a highly skilled cosmetic doctor. They will not only have the knowledge and skills to achieve the most impressive results but will also minimise the risk of any side-effects.

Talking of side effects, thread lifts have remarkably few, with the vast majority of people experiencing nothing more than a bit of inflammation or redness around the injection site that disappears after just a few days.

You won’t need to put your entire life on hold for weeks on end whilst you recover from treatment either, as you would with a surgical face lift or other surgery that achieves similar results. The whole thread lift process takes less than an hour in most cases ad you will be able to get back to living your normal life with very few restrictions, immediately after leaving the clinic.

How much do thread lifts cost?

As there is no need for general anaesthetic or surgery, thread lifts cost much much less than a facelift, although you do need to bear in mind that as results only last for around a year, you will need to pay a reoccurring fee in order to maintain the results.

A full face and jaw lift, using dissolving PDO threads costs around £2000 at most respected cosmetic clinic. Avoid choosing a clinic that is offering the service much cheaper than this as the quality of the threads used, the doctors’ skills, and the results that are achieve will be much lower.

You are also more likely to experience some of the rare more severe side effects of thread lifts such as continual bleeding or an allergic reaction.
