What is PDO thread lift and how does it work?
The PDO threading procedure involves using various lengths of thin acupuncture sterile needles to embed PDO dissolving threads deep underneath the surface of the skin. These wires are placed strategically into the dermis, where it acts as a frame for lifting and tightening loose and sagging skin. The material from which these threads are made, Polydioxanone, is a safe substance that keeps the skin in its new tightened state for 4-6months, whilst also synthesizing new collagen production. The lasting result will provide the skin with a fresh, well rested and firmer look whilst supporting new collagen formation for long lasting results.
This treatment can be used on the face, but also in various areas of the body where the main objective is creating a lift, rather than restoring volume.
What are the benefits of embedded threading procedures?
• A reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Younger looking skin, with fewer signs of ageing due to tightening of loose/lax skin
• Improve skin tone, texture, pigmentation, scarring and stretch mark appearance
• Long lasting results, due to new collagen synthesis
• No scars or visible cuts (as can be the result of a traditional facelift)
• Can be performed from the age of 30, or earlier for anti-ageing benefits
• Increased skin metabolism
• Optimization of texture
• Activation of the lymphatic circulation
• Increased circulation in surrounding areas
• Long lasting stimulation of the fascia and of the soft tissues
• Creation of collagen
• Normalization of collagen
• Remodeling of the silhouette
• Tissue elasticity and lifting
• Delayed cutaneous aging
• Skin brightness
VIOLA SMOOTH
VIOLA SMOOTH is PDO (polydioxanone) suture; effective in face
lifting and wrinkle reduction.
VIOLA GOLD
VIOLA GOLD (Gold + PGA Suture): PGA (Polyglycolic Acid) suture is
coated with pure gold, and while the PGA dissolves faster, the coated
gold remains in shape and helps detoxifying and brightening the skin.
VIOLA MESH
VIOLA MESH is the most innovative PDO suture for improving
smile lines. It is made up of eight pieces of USP 5-0 threads and
twisted into one thread.
VIOLA COGLYFT
VIOLA COGLYFT uses blunt cannula for safe delivery of absorbable
barbed suture inside the deep layers of the skin.
VIOLA MICROCOG
VIOLA MICROCOG combines mircro-fine PDO suture with powerful cog
without a need of using cannula. This allows non-invasive treatment
with maximum lifting results and minimal pain.
VIOLA NOSELYFT
VIOLA NOSELYFT uses 19 gauge blunt cannula to safely penetrate
into the nose structure for natural looking result.
What is PLLA thread lift and how does it work?
PLLA stands for Poly-L-Lactic Acid, a substance which has been used for many years as a medical material for membrane (tissue regeneration), suture and surgical sealant and as injectable facial rejuvenation treatment which works to stimulate collagen for a younger look.
Now PLLA is available in a thread format, which is used in a different way.This new generation polymer is extracted from a plant – known for its absorbability and biodegradability very safe; breaks down into H2O, CO2 and Lactic acid after treatments. Compared to injectable treatments, thread lifting is a procedure which directly addresses the structure of the face through an immediate lifting effect, accompanied by a longer-term regeneration of collagen and natural volume.
Using a special ultrathin needle and cannula, the thread is introduced in the subcutaneous layer of the face skin. The depth of threads insertion, the distance between threads, the number and type depends on the patient’s face and expectation.
PLLA Lifting Effect
Threads are positioned beneath the skin and after that manipulated to tighten and lift the tissues. This is a gentle, non-invasive procedure, providing some of the benefits of a facelift – tighter, firmer skin with better definition to the facial features and with much more subtle and natural-looking results. Results are immediate – the lifting effect is the result of the practitioner manipulating the skin tissue after inserting the sutures. After inserting the suture, the doctor applies slight pressure on the treated areas, reshaping and recontouring the face making it look visibly toned and lifted.
PLLA Regenerating Effect
PLLA threads also work within the skin to stimulate renewal and rejuvenation, adding natural volume which tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through a production of collagen and improved blood circulation, contracting the tissue. The regenerative effect is gradual and happens over the 2-3 months following treatment. When the threads are placed, the PLLA acts on the deeper layers of the skin and naturally stimulate the body so that it produces new collagen. This boosts volume in the skin, making it appear firmer.
What to expect from the PLLA Thread Lift:
• Reduces wrinkles, lines
• Lifts and tightens saggy or flabby skin, improving the definition
• Immediate results continue to improve skin elasticity and texture
• Brightens skin tone and complexion
• Produces more defined facial contours such as cheekbones
• Can sculpt more pleasing feature e.g. angle of the mouth
Advantages of PLLA Threads
• Long lasting results – generally longer lasting compared to the PDO threads
• Invisible through the skin – the PLLA threads are transparent (the PDO threads are with blue color)
• Excellent safety record over 30 years
• Naturally broken down by the body over about 18 months
• Results last around 24 months and wear off gradually
• Procedure can be repeated as required in the future, adjusted to best tackle ongoing facial aging
VIOLA PLENTI
VIOLA PLENTI is made up with 75 pieces of PLLA (USP 11-0) threads
into one thread.
VIOLA DOUBLELYFT
VIOLA DOUBLELYFT uses two separate needles attached to one single
biodegradable suture (either PDO or PLLA) for stronger pulling effect
into different directions for more dramatic results.
