Thread lifting is an innovative and painless method to reduce sagging skin. It straightens and supports facial and body tissues, bloodlessly and safety.

What is Thread lift?

A thread lift strengthens skin to lift sagging areas. The use of threads is widespread in aesthetic medicine around the world, especially in recent years.
At Beauty by Design, we use PDO (polydioxanone) threads, which are 100% bio-absorbable. They are gradually absorbed by the body with a depth of complete absorption ranging from 4 to 6 months.
It does not replace the classic surgical facelift. However, it is an excellent alternative for patients who have mild sagging but do not wish to undergo over surgery.

How it works

Lifting with PDO threads is applied to the face by injection with special fine needles in which threads are already armed. By simply inserting the needle into the skin and removing it, thread stays in place. The mesh that is created under the skin leads to its tightening.

Threads are placed either vertically, horizontally or in a grid depending on the are od application. PDO threads induce collagen synthesis, stimulation of elastin fibers and hyaluronic acid and help reduce sagging. The experienced plastic surgeon will determine the area and the threads needed. Typically, 4-20 threads are required per treatment. The process can be repeated as many times as necessary.
