The success of PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift depends on various factors, including the individual’s skin type, the degree of sagging, the number and type of threads used, and the experience and skill of the practitioner performing the procedure.

Generally, PDO thread lifts are considered to be a safe and effective minimally invasive alternative to surgical facelifts for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. PDO threads are absorbable, which means they are gradually broken down by the body over time, stimulating the production of collagen and promoting natural skin tightening.

It’s important to note that PDO thread lifts are not a substitute for surgical facelifts, and the results may not be as dramatic as a facelift. However, PDO thread lifts are generally associated with fewer risks and complications than surgical procedures, and the recovery time is typically shorter. As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner to discuss the potential risks and benefits and determine whether PDO thread lift is right for you.

There is typically some downtime associated with a thread lift procedure, although it is generally less than that associated with traditional facelift surgery. The amount of downtime can vary depending on the individual’s skin and the number of threads used during the procedure.

The number of threads required for a thread lift can vary depending on several factors, including the individual’s facial structure, the areas being treated, and the desired outcome. In general, the number of threads used in a thread lift can range from 5 to 30 or more, depending on the individual’s needs.

Using more threads does not necessarily guarantee better results in a thread lift procedure. The number of threads used in a thread lift is determined based on the individual’s specific facial structure and treatment goals.
