PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive technique that can be performed by a dermatologist or nurse injector that uses collagen-stimulating threads inserted under the skin, cheeks, jaw, brow or neck to lift the underlying tissue. Swelling and discomfort last about two weeks, although you can return to work the day after the procedure. While the PDO Thread Lift is less invasive, there is a rare potential complication in that the threads can be constricted, visible, or even poke out of the skin.
Thermage® is another technique and uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and the contour of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen. The procedure is easy, and at the end of treatment, leaves little or no swelling or bruising. However, its effectiveness is not nearly as strong as that of a Face Lift Perth, and some patients reported not to see the benefits. In addition, it can take up to six months to see an improvement. Thermage® can be combined with a facelift, AOP Thread lift or dermal fillers to amplify its benefits.
