The modern rhythm of life does not leave much time for men and women for self-care. However, everybody wants to stay young and beautiful as long as possible. That is why cosmetic rejuvenating procedures are gaining extreme popularity. Doctors and cosmetologists are constantly looking for new and new methods to fight the signs of aging faster and more effectively with fewer risks and sacrifices. Just a few decades ago, a facelift was the only way to get rid of wrinkles and tighten the contours. But it is painful, expensive, does not provide predictable results, and demands a long recovery. It is definitely not the best choice for business ladies of the XXI century who build their careers and do not have time to fall out from life for a few months.

The invention of noninvasive treatments for facial rejuvenation like Botox, dermal fillers, and cosmetic threads has opened vast cosmetology possibilities to help patients look younger and more beautiful despite their age. Let us have a closer look at the procedure of non-surgical thread lifting with Intraline PDO threads and its analogs to understand why so many people prefer this method to return youth.

What is Facial Rejuvenation with Intraline Threads Lift?

Lifting rejuvenation with meso threads is a modern innovative anti-aging technique for transforming appearance. This is a safe, fast, and effective way to solve a wast range of aging signs:

• remove sagging of soft tissues and skin laxity;
• eliminate wrinkles and lines on the face and body;
• lift the upper eyelid;
• lift eyebrows from the outer edge;
• tighten the lower and middle third of the face;
• tighten the neck;
• strengthen and correct the oval of the face;
• define cheekbones;
• tighten the inner thighs, arms, as well as the chest and anterior abdominal wall.

The lifting technique consists in inserting medical threads under the skin of the patient, subsequently overgrowing with new fibers of its own elastin and collagen. Over time, the threads dissolve, breaking down into water and carbon dioxide. In the tissues, however, a natural framework remains, which keeps them in a taut state.

The procedure is not complicated and does not require any special preparation from the patient. All he/she need to do before the thread lifting is to consult with the doctor to choose the type of Intraline PDO threads and make a lifting map.

The whole manipulation takes 30-60 minutes. First, the doctor applies an external anesthetic to the correction area, and then, through punctures, inserts threads under the skin, forming a reinforcing frame. Threads can be installed on the face, neck, abdomen, chest, thighs, buttocks.

Rehabilitation Process after the PDO Threads

One of the greatest benefits of rejuvenation with Intraline is that rehabilitation is practically not required. It is explained by the nonsurgical and noninvasive nature of the procedure with minimal side effects like small hematomas, edema, and skin assemblies at the puncture sites.

These manifestations disappear on their own within the next few days and do not require any additional treatment, so the patient may go home and resume his/her ordinary activity. However, there are a few recommendations for the patients to follow to avoid severe side effects and get the best possible outcomes:

• do not massage or rub the face;
• no makeup/scrubs;
• no visits to the gym and intense training;
• no hot bath or showers;
• no visits to the sauna or pool.

Candidates for an Intraline Thread Lift

Right Candidates

Women and men between 35-45 are ideal candidates for aesthetics rejuvenation with polyPDO threads. The skin at this age just starts to undergo the aging changes without considerable alteration in the structure. Being perfectly suitable for eliminating fine lines, returning smooth relief, erasing nasolabial folds and other deeper wrinkles, tightening the skin tissues, and lifting up facial contours, polydioxanone PDO thread lift is indicated in the cases of superficial to middle aging manifestations.

Poor Candidates

People with excessive sagging skin are not good candidates for treatment with threads PDO from Intraline. The same is about people who possess the thick and rugged structure of the tissues. Other contraindications to the rejuvenation with polydioxanone PDO threads include:

• multiple skin allergic reactions;
• infections;
• immunologically compromised diseases like cancer/ HIV;
• systemic diseases like diabetes, tuberculosis, etc.

What are the Advantages of Having an Intraline Thread Lift instead of a Facelift?

Compared to surgery, many patients report that PDO threads’ the main benefit is the almost absolute absence of recovery period. Meso threads allow to improve the appearance with minimal invasion into skin tissue and its damage. Intraline PDO threads lifting leaves tiny punctures which disappear within a few days. On the contrary, the damages after surgery will need a few months to heal.

Another benefit is that the Intraline PDO treatment provides fast visible effects. Directly after the cosmetic non-surgical manipulation with Intraline, lines and wrinkles disappear, sagging skin returns its tone and elasticity, the contours improve and lift.

The third important benefit lies in the fact that Intraline PDO threads boost hyaluronic acid, elastin, and collagen production – elements crucial for supporting the frame of skin tissues, their turgor and elasticity, smooth relief, and hydration. This is rejuvenation from the inside, relaunching of the inner processes, making the organism produce the essential elements for smooth and beautiful skin on its own. With time, when the PDO thread itself is digested, the results are still preserved by the created frame of hyaluronic acid, elastin, and collagen fibers.

A wide variety of Intraline PDO threads in the line (Intraline PDO Threads Mono, Intraline PDO Threads Cog Dimension 360, Intraline PDO Threads Spiral with various diameters of the thread) for rejuvenating treatment helps to choose the best product for every patient with personal aging problems. Skin tissues in different areas possess different physical characteristics like level of density. Thus, the skin on the chin and cheeks is the densest, while around the eyes, it is the thinners and the most tender. With such a variety of structures and dimensions of Intraline PDO threads, it is not a problem to eliminate the appearance imperfections even in the hardest-to-reach zones.

Skin lifting with PDO threads is safe. The products of Intraline for the non-surgical dermal lift are produced out of polydioxanone, a biodegradable polymer used in n the preparation of surgical sutures. It does not cause body rejection or allergy and is digested by metabolism for 6 months. They are not visible under the skin, and they cannot be felt in the tissues when touching.

Understanding Different Thread Lift: Intraline, Silhouette Soft, and Aqulift

Intraline PDO threads with polydioxanone from the Korean manufacturer became the pioneers on the market on non-invasive aesthetics rejuvenation. However, the technologies do not stand still, and new and new brands constantly appear in the industry. At the present time, Silhouette Soft and Aqualift are one of the alternatives to Intraline. Let us examine the difference between the products, procedures, and results of these three brands.

The basic difference between these threads lies in their composition. Intraline PDO threads are produced with polydioxanone (PDO), a bio combinable and absorbable polymer used in sutures during surgeries. These threads may last in the dermal tissue for up to 6 months. Threads with polydioxanone are designed in different variations: mono, cog, barbed, spiral, multi).

Aqualift and Silhouette soft use poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) for producing their threads. The main difference of this material is that it is more long-lasting (from 12 months and more), boosting collagen production longer than PDO threads. At the same time, treatments with any of these brands are a few times more expensive than when using Intraline PDO threads, while the procedure and effects are the same.

The choice of the treatment and type of threads can be determined by the individual choice of the client, his/her intolerance to any of the components of the remedy, expected duration of the effects, and of course, the cost they are ready to pay.

What are the Risks with PDO, PLLA Thread Lifts? 

Side effects manifestations are always very individual and depend on the range of physiological factors. Some people may experience just redness and slight pain, while others may complain about injections and other unpleasant stuff. In any case, the choice of authentic top-quality products and a professional, experienced, and a certified doctor is key to success. This is the list of the most common negative reactions:

Minor

• soreness;
• swelling;
• bruising;
•  skin dimpling.

Moderate

• Skin irregularities;
• Thread displacement;
• Prolonged aching.

Rare

• Infection;
• Nodule formation;
• Nerve injury;
• Salivary gland injury.

Which is Better: Dermal Fillers or Thread Lift?

Dermal fillers and PDO threads are some of the most popular aesthetics dermatology procedures. Both treatments are used to smooth skin relief, eliminate wrinkles, and rejuvenate the appearance. Are they the same, mutually interchangeable, or complementary? Perhaps the last variant is the most suitable when speaking about dermal fillers and treatments with cosmetic threads.

Actually, although both cosmetic methods aim to fight wrinkles and loss of volume, the principle of their action is very divergent. We cannot say what is better as there are indications when dermal fillers work perfectly and cases when treatment with PDO threats will become the best solution.

Roughly speaking, dermal fillers are a perfect choice when there is a deen to replenish lost volume in the tissues or augment separate parts of the face, including lips, cheeks, cheekbones, temples, etc. Hyaluronic acid (the most popular base for modern fillers) quickly fills in the hollow spaces in the tissues, creating the supporting frame for the skin, and when attracting and binding to the molecules of the water, increasing the volume. It allows plumping lips and cheeks, defining the cheekbones, jawline, and chin.

Treatment with PDO threads was specially designed to fight skin laxity, skin sagging and lifting up the contours. None of the known dermal fillers can provide such an incredible effect of lifting as any of the meso threads (PDO, PLLA, mono, spiral, barbed, cog dimension 360, etc.). The unique technology tightens the tissues and boosts inner collagen production to improve the tone and elasticity of the skin.

Final Word

Believe me or non, but non-invasive cosmetology sooner or later will replace a traditional facelift. In any case, it has got great perspectives as more and more people choose one of the modern techniques to solve the imperfections of their appearance. And cosmetic threads have a great future there too. Allowing to eliminate wrinkles and folds, tighten the skin, define contours, and lift the oval, treatment with PDO threads wins more and more lovers. Fast, noticeable results that do not demand considerable wastes of time and money, with almost no recovery period and potential risks explain why thread lift is so in-demand among modern people with a crazily fast pace of life.
