Frequently asked questions about the non-surgical cat eye and facelift treatment using PDO threads
Many patients who are looking to combat the signs of aging want to explore their non-surgical options first. This is especially true for those who are considering surgical facelift procedures. However, patients have other options to consider, including the PDO cat eye and facelift treatment available at Coastal Aesthetics in Wilmington, North Carolina. Below are some frequently asked questions about PDO thread facelifts and cat eye lifts.
What is a PDO thread?
First and foremost, understanding PDO threads and how they work will help you better understand how they are used for anti-aging. Our team at Coastal Aesthetics best describes PDO threads as thin, absorbable threads that lift and tighten the skin. These threads are made from a safe, biocompatible material called polydioxanone, or PDO, which has been used for medical purposes for over 30 years. They are similar to dissolvable stitches, using the same material that is safely used on human skin.
How does a PDO thread facelift and cat eye lift work?
A PDO thread facelift and cat eye lift involves inserting these thin threads into specific areas of the face using a small needle. Once inserted, the threads anchor onto the skin, and as they dissolve over time, they create an internal structure that lifts and tightens the skin. This helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin. Additionally, the cat eye thread lift specifically targets the outer corners of the eyes for a more lifted and youthful look.
Is a PDO thread facelift safe?
Absolutely! PDO thread lifts are considered to be safe and minimally invasive procedures. The PDO material used in these threads has been proven to be biocompatible and poses no risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects. However, it is best that patients considering this treatment consult a trained and experienced medical professional at Coastal Aesthetics before undergoing any cosmetic procedure.
How long do results from a PDO thread lift last?
Results from a PDO thread lift can vary depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. However, on average, results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. It is important to note that while the threads may dissolve after several months, the collagen production stimulated by the threads can provide long-lasting benefits for up to 2-3 years.
