Unlike the traditional surgical facelifts - which result in visible changes and well-hidden but still visible scars - a PDO thread lift leaves no scars and does not alter your unique facial features. The best part is that after a thread lift, you can usually expect to look the same as you did several years ago. Because a PDO thread is intended to actually lift and shift soft tissues to their previous location. And as your body produces collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, your results will continue to improve over the next few weeks, peaking around six months and lasting up to two years.
