With over thirty percent of patients developing an infection following a thread lift, thread lifts can cause complications including infection, irritation, or asymmetry. They fit mild skin laxity and call for knowledge from a qualified therapist or physician. Results rely on the knowledge and experience of the clinic. Since thread lifts usually last two years, those looking for a longer fix could have to have a more intrusive surgical facelift or facial surgery to remove threads should they not be able to dissolve or be removed.
Who is not a good candidate for a thread lift?
Those who are showing obvious signs of mild aging or who are experiencing early facial aging generally qualify best for this treatment. Particularly in the middle-face, these indicators can include mild to moderate skin laxity as well as fine lines and wrinkles around the nose, mouth, and chin. Usually, those seeking this treatment fall between the ages of 30 and 55.
Consultation will eventually help to decide the candidates for this treatment. This first visit will let our skin experts assess your skin to determine whether a thread lift treatment is sufficient cosmetic fix for your appearance-related problems. If you are too thin, you have too loose skin, or you are not close to a healthy or ideal weight, you might not be candidates for this treatment.
Usually, we advise waiting between PDO thread lift procedures at least six to twelve months. This gives enough time for the former threads to dissolve and for your skin to get complete benefits from the collagen-stimulating action.
Still, the number of times you can have a PDO thread lift over your lifetime is not strictly limited. Many patients safely have several treatments over years to keep their intended appearance.
Still, we constantly stress the need of a customized approach. We will evaluate your particular needs, skin condition, and past treatments during your consultation at EMORA Polyclinic to ascertain the best timing for your next PDO thread lift.

Age-related symptoms, including sagging and wrinkles, start to show as we get older, which lowers confidence—especially in women. Thankfully, non-surgical procedures like Thread Lifting have become quick and efficient alternatives to surgery.
The 45-minute non-surgical Thread Lifting procedure is carried out under local anesthetic. Under the skin, special threads with tiny needles stimulate collagen production and assist in correcting drooping skin. Usually, patients may start their regular activities on the same day.
If you are not happy with the result, you can have the Thread Lifting threads taken out, only if a specialist doctor does the operation. They will use an exhaustive log of the various thread types used to ensure a safe removal process.
Safe, non-surgical, effective skin rejuvenation is offered by thread lifting. Professionally done by a qualified doctor, the results can last years and vary based on the kind of thread used.
