There is no such thing as perfect when it comes to personal beauty. Even if your features are perfectly symmetrical, chances are you have one or two flaws that stand out from the rest of your features. Some people may want to change their uneven cheekbones, pointy chin, or other distinguishing features of their faces. There are many surgical options available such as facelift surgery and fat grafts. Revision neck threading is a common non-surgical procedure rapidly gaining popularity in the beauty industry.
The neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging, and it's often the last thing on your mind when trying to improve your appearance. However, if you want natural-looking results that will make your neck look younger, it may be time for a revision neck threading treatment.
If you are dissatisfied with the results of your initial treatment, you should think about revision neck threading. This minimally invasive procedure can be used to lift and tighten loose or sagging skin in the neck, as well as problems caused by previous neck threading treatments, such as:
While revision neck threading is not a replacement for other skin treatments, it is frequently used alongside them. The treatment can be done alone or in conjunction with other services such as dermal fillers. For example, if you want to reduce the signs of loose skin and wrinkles on your neck but don't want to make an incision in the area, revision PDO thread work may be right for you.
This non-surgical treatment, in addition to being minimally invasive, low-risk, and leaving minimal to no visible scars in the treated area, provides immediate results with minimal downtime.
If the first thread lift procedure does not produce the desired results, you should consider a neck threading revision. If your skin still doesn't look or feel different, or if you're not noticing any changes in skin texture or tone around your neck that indicate improved collagen production, having these areas treated again may be beneficial.
Other considerations for a second thread lifting procedure include:
The PDO thread lift is a non-surgical facelift that lifts and tightens the skin with polydioxanone (PDO) threads. The PDO threads are barbed threads made of a biocompatible material that dissolves over time, eliminating the need for a provider to remove them.
People with moderate wrinkles and loose skin around their face, neck, or chest benefit the most from PDO thread lifts. These treatments also address wrinkles caused by smoking or sun exposure. A good candidate for PDO lifts may also opt for toxin injections as part of their treatment plan. By combining different minimally invasive modalities, you can benefit from a synergistic treatment result.
Collagen accounts for approximately 30% of the total protein content of your skin. More collagen in the dermis or epidermis (the middle and outermost layers, respectively) creates a firmer cushion for wrinkles to form against. As a result, when you move or flex certain muscles, those wrinkles won't appear as deep.
This is one reason why people with lower natural collagen production appear older than their actual age; as they age and their skin tissue loses elasticity, those folds become much deeper than they would be if they still had plenty of healthy fibrous tissue beneath them.
Our bodies produce fewer proteins as we get older, including fibroblasts which produce collagen and elastin fibers, which tighten the skin. As we age, it takes a longer time to produce fibroblasts and elastin fibers, which leads to sagging skin, wrinkles, and dull skin texture. Fortunately, PDO threads can help stimulate collagen production and help address problems caused by the loss of vital proteins.
PDO threads are the most commonly used thread type in cosmetic processes. PDO is an abbreviation for polydioxanone, a type of polymer that is commonly used for surgical sutures and stitches. These threads are equipped with barbs that aid in their attachment to the skin, and they are temporary sutures that dissolve over time, allowing them to remain in place during treatment without having to be removed or replaced. Thread lift procedures using PDOs cause minimal damage or inflammation around the face and neck as they do not require invasive, surgical incisions.
Another type of PDO threading is smooth PDO (mono threads), which is also made from polydioxanone but they are smooth threads that do not have any barbs to attach to sagging skin. Instead, they are inserted into the skin layer to help the body to produce collagen.
The type of PDO thread used will influence the outcome, recovery time, and level of discomfort. The type of thread used is largely determined by the provider who treats you, but any qualified practitioner should be able to recommend an appropriate option based on your needs and condition.
Finally, how long the threads last is determined by several factors. The type and quality of material used to make your threads play a significant role in their durability. Furthermore, your skin type and age have an impact on how long your threading will last. Stress and lifestyle choices can also have an impact on the longevity of PDO threads.
