Facial Thread Lift

The procedure is pretty simple and the use of local anesthetic cream is optional. The specialized Doctor inserts the ultra-thin bio-absorbable PDO Threads horizontally or vertically (depending on the needs of the problematic area) with the help of a very thin needle, and creates a grid that holds the relaxed skin and improves skin texture.

The threads are fully absorbable and the number to be used depends on the needs of each area.

The minor injuries that occur by the injection of threads stimulate local production of collagen and hyaluronic acid and that’s why the results are getting better and better over time.

The process of inserting the threads is simple and the application of a local anesthetic cream is optional. The specialized doctor inserts the serrated COG Threads, also known as “Anchor Threads”, along a selected trajectory (predetermined according to the needs of the problem area) and then the threads are stretched, causing immediately visible straightening / lifting.

The threads are fully absorbable and the number to be used depends on the needs of each area.

The minor injury caused by the threads stimulates the local production of new Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid and for this reason the results of the method increase over time.

APTOS Facial Threads are inserted one by one, individually and are suitable for direct straightening only on the face (cheeks, oval of the face, cheekbones and forehead). APTOS Threads offer immediate lifting results, due to the special technology of 3D hooks that they have.

Before applying the PDO threads, an anesthetic cream is used which makes the treatment practically painless and very well tolerated.

In the case of COG and APTOS threads, injectable local anesthesia is applied, making the process painless.

The bio-absorbable injectable threads of Polydioxanone, in addition to the impressive results they give to Cosmetic Dermatology, find use in a number of other Medical Processes in the Field of Cardiac Surgery and Ophthalmology.

After the treatment, a slight erythema (redness) may appear locally in the area of application, which resolves on its own after a few hours.

Thread lifting is a painless and minimally-invasive procedure, which does not require general anesthesia, which is the case with traditional surgical lifting. It leaves no permanent scars and marks and the patient can return immediately to his/her daily activities and work.

The main advantages of the treatment are the following:

• It is a bloodless, painless, minimally invasive method
• Its application does not require incisions and therefore does not leave permanent scars and marks.
• The patient avoids the hassle of a surgical lifting, which requires general anesthesia and multi-day recovery.
• No recovery time is required and so the patient can return immediately to his/her daily activities.
• The material is absorbed within 6-8 months and so no complications are observed.
• The effect of Facial Thread Lift is completely natural.
• Thanks to the enhancement of the natural production of Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid, the duration of the results is significantly prolonged and can often reach 2 years.
