The "mesh" of threads will also shape the face by lifting and supporting sagging structures and the thread sutures are absorbable in 4-6 months leaving nothing behind but the skin structure created which continues to hold for another 8-12 months.

PDO Thread Face Lifting has been regarded by Plastic Surgeons as a significant advancement in Facial Rejuvenation and the Non Surgical Facelift because of the extraordinary results achieved from the technology involved. The technique itself is ideal for the aesthetic practitioner (Physician, Nurse Practitioner, PA, check applicable state laws) because of the relative simplicity in learning the technique, the excellent safety profile, and the significant revenue associated with the technique itself.
Ideal Patient Benefits: Thread Face Lifting is suited for patients in their 30’s to 50’s who are experiencing the traditional signs of aging such as sagging in their face and loss of volume. Thread Lifting can create a dramatic improvement to any area of the face which needs a lifting effect such as the cheeks, the nasolabial folds, forehead, double chin, marionette lines, the lower eye areas, the jowl area along the chin line, as well as for the notable chicken neck for sagging skin around the neck. The desirable effects take place from immediate to over the subsequent 2- 3 weeks. Additional improvement will occur as a result of the enhanced effects on facial collagen. The results can last up to 2-3 years.

The EZ-Lip Fill, EZ-Neck Mesh, EZ-Cheek Mesh with Miracu® sutures are 3 quick, simple and efficient procedures:
Popular Indications for Treatment:
Vermillion Border (Lip Definition) Filler: procedure is very simple and takes less than (5) minutes to place the smooth PDO threads. There is no chance of asymmetry as the PDO threads are equivalent, results are immediate and the duration of the correction varies from (3) months to (6) months – anesthesia is optional.
Neck Filler (Smooth & Twisted Threads) Lift: procedure typically consists of the placement of up to (10) smooth PDO threads for the correction or reduction of skin laxity for the submental region, chin and jaw area, and laxity of the neck. The smooth PDO threads give support and volume to the area that can create smoothing and eliminate contrast across the areas. The procedure takes less than (10) minutes and is not contraindicated with other types of treatments such as botulinum toxin.
Cheek Augmentation (Mesh): procedure consists of creating a matrix under the skin that allows for volume across a larger area such as the cheeks. It requires as many as (10) smooth PDO threads for correction and will give greater support of the checks and will improve skin texture where the threads are built up under the skin (neocollagen formation). There is also no need for anesthesia for most patients. The Smooth PDO Threads allow for volume and support of tissues, besides the facial areas mentioned above it can be used in body part areas giving support to tissues and volume for such areas as the arms, décolleté, and other small body areas of correction.

How does a PDO Thread Lift Work? A PDO thread lift procedure can help lift the sagging parts of the face to create a more youthful look in your patients.
PDO (polydioxanone) is the material used in surgical stitches. Physicians started to use PDO threads, not for surgical stitches, but insert in the skin so that PDO would continuously stimulate collagen synthesis. When PDO threads are introduced into the skin, it acts as a "scaffold" for the skin which helps to "hold" the skin against the effects of gravity. The threads can also shape the face by lifting and supporting sagging structure providing the "mesh". PDO threads are absorbable and therefore, there will be nothing after 4-6 month. But the effect will continue for another 15-24 months.
The procedure itself is considered to be a non surgical technique because there is no incision or traditional cutting of the skin. Tiny entry holes are made into the areas where the invisible threads will initially be inserted. The procedure itself takes approx. 10-30 minutes depending on how many areas of the face will be treated.
The thread lift technique works by lifting different parts of the face and body using special threads specific to the thread lift technique. There are a variety of names used to describe the procedure and trade names associated with the various products used, such as the Feather Lift ™, Silk Lift ™, APTOS™, Contour lift™, and the former Lifestyle ™.
There are two different types of threads used for the Thread Face Lift:
- Suspension, Smooth Threads- These threads need to be attached to a firm surface such as the scalp or face.
- Barbed Threads (Free Floating Cogged) – This variety of thread does not need to be attached or supported to a separate structure in order to maintain a lift. These threads support themselves. The tiny cogs within the thread actually attach to the skin itself. The number of threads used depends on the area being treated, i.e. full face 18-20 threads, checks 2-3 each.
