The non-surgical facelift is a minimal invasive medical procedure that uses PDO/PCL/COG threads.
The PDO/PCL thread (Polydioxanone) is a strong monofilament used in aesthetic and antiaging medicine, biodegradable and completely absorbable once inserted under the skin, used safely for years in cardiovascular surgery, eye surgery, gynecology, traumatology, etc. Once inserted under the skin, the PDO threads stimulate the synthesis of collagen and produce a lift. The results will start to be visible after approximately 2-4 weeks, and the complete absobtion will be completed after about 6-8 months, but the effects will last 2 years or more, depending on the individual patient’s metabolic rate. The result is smoother, firmer, tighter and younger looking skin. Threads can be used on face, neck, decolte, arms, back, gluteal area, knee area and anywhere else we want to stimulate collagen formation and to correct skin laxity.
The COG threads are stronger, thicker threads used to pull the skin layers against gravity, they anchor in the deeper layers, helping to obtain a lifting effect. The final effect is similar to a plastic surgery lift, and can last up to 2 years.
