Thread neck lift procedures have gained immense popularity over the years for their ability to rejuvenate the neck area, improve its contours, and reduce signs of aging. Among the various neck lift techniques available, the use of specialized PDO threads has emerged as an effective and minimally invasive option. There are several types commonly used for neck lifts, including barbed and smooth threads, as well as varying types and lengths.Your doctor can recommend the best thread type depending on your needs and goals. In this blog post, we will delve deep into Neck lift threads, explaining various types and what you need to know to regain that flawless neck.
You may have heard about PDO threads, which are commonly used in neck lift procedures to address this concern. They’re made of a biodegradable material called polydioxanone, which has been widely used in medical procedures for many years.
They work by stimulating collagen production and providing immediate lift to the neck area. They are inserted into the skin through tiny incisions strategically placed around the neck region. Once inserted, these threads act as a supportive structure for sagging tissues, lifting, and tightening them.
One of the notable advantages of is their ability to prompt collagen synthesis, which further enhances long-term results. As the threads gradually dissolve over time, they continue to stimulate collagen production, leading to ongoing rejuvenation even after the initial lift.
It's important to note that treatments offer immediate improvements in the appearance of the neck but also provide long-lasting results due to collagen stimulation. The extent of durability can vary depending on individual factors such as lifestyle choices and skin conditions.
When it comes to neck lift procedures using threads, there are several common types available on the market. Each type has its own unique properties and benefits. Let's explore some of the most popular thread types used for neck lifts:
Barbed and Smooth PDO Threads for Neck
In the realm of neck thread lifts, both the barbed and smooth PDO threads are great tools to rejuvenate your skin. Barbed threads are used for more intensive lifting while the smooth, collagen threads are used more to improve texture and stimulate collagen.
Barbed PDO Threads for Neck
Barbed PDO threads have emerged as a remarkable innovation in the realm of non-surgical rejuvenation, particularly when it comes to addressing the challenges of sagging skin and loss of definition in the neck area.
Unlike smooth threads that primarily stimulate collagen production and provide subtle lift, barbed PDO threads take the concept a step further by incorporating tiny barbs along their length. These barbs act as anchors within the skin, allowing for a more direct and effective lifting and tightening effect. When strategically inserted beneath the skin's surface, these specialized threads provide immediate elevation to sagging
tissues, restoring a more youthful contour to the neck and jawline.
When we think about barbed threads, we classify them into 2 types: cut and molded:
Generally, molded threads are much stronger as the integrity of the core is maintained, giving a strong lift. Another aspect of barbed threads we need to look at is the positioning of the barbs. You want to look for threads that are designed in a 360 helix. This means the barbs are placed all around the threads, giving the best grip and stability for your lift.
Smooth PDO Threads for Neck
Smooth PDO threads aren’t used as a lifting thread, but as a targeted collagen boost, improving texture and wrinkles of skin, the polydioxanone initiates a biological dance within the skin. As the threads gradually dissolve, they stimulate the production of collagen, reinforcing the neck's structural support. Due to that, these threads are often nicknamed as the “collagen thread.”
This type of treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Skilled practitioners customize the treatment by strategically placing threads to address specific areas of sagging. Whether it's the notorious "turkey neck" or horizontal necklace lines, the versatility and precision of these collagen threads make them a great option for many.
As mentioned above, the versatility is amazing. One great way to use them is as a supplementary thread to a heavier lifting, barbed thread. Using these collagen threads in combination with others lets you target specific areas with wrinkles or texture issues, while getting a great thread neck lift.
Imagine having PDO threads inserted into your neck, and over time, you start noticing improvements in the tightness and smoothness of your skin. Not only the initial thread neck but also the long-term effects of collagen synthesis are responsible for these outcomes.
They come in different thicknesses and lengths, allowing for customization based on individual needs and desired outcomes. The specific type chosen may vary depending on factors such as the severity of sagging skin or the desired lifting effect. Whether you need a longer thread, or a shorter one for your neck thread lift, your practitioner will guide you through the entire process, customizing the solution based on your needs.
After the PDO thread lift procedure, patients may experience some bruising, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area. However, these
effects typically subside within a few days. It's important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by the medical professional to ensure proper healing and maximize results.
