What to expect?
A PDO thread procedure can take from 45 minutes to up to 2 hours for a full face including time for consultation & planning.
We advise clients to have a light meal & refrain from drinking alcohol the night before.
We also suggest no aspirin, vitamin C or blood thinners for 1 week before.
The procedure is relatively pain free.
We use a local anaesthetic lidocaine to numb the face & the lidocaine injections are the only uncomfortable part. They mildly sting but are rather quick. It takes about 30- 60 seconds to numb each side of the face.
During the procedure my clients are talking, smiling & relaxed and always surprised at how little they feel.
You will occasionally see some mild swelling & bruising on some clients ( this tends to be on extremely fair patients or those over 60) but this resolves fairly quickly & all clients receive an aftercare pack to speed up the healing process.
On the day of the procedure there is an instant result from the mechanical lift and tightening with the results further improving still over the next 2 months as collagenesis begins.
For my clients that choose the full face lifting package they can expert spectacular but still natural looking results as I focus on the following depending on the clients individual needs.
1- the lift
2- asymmetry
3- deep set lines
4-structure
5- loss of volume
6- fine lines
7- pigmentation or scarring
8- skin quality
9- tightening or fat reduction
It is also possible to often fix asymmetry whether natural, or the result of birth defects, paralysis / accident or injury but please advise us beforehand.
It is my aim with my clients to give natural
& elegant looking results using the principals of profile balancing.
In addition to lifting & restructuring one of the biggest benefits is the change to the skin.
I use a combination of different threads Which act as biostimulators. The skin looks tighter, younger, glowy & rejuvenated.
The skin age is reversed dramatically.
