Thread Lifts vs Dermal Fillers: Which is Better for You?

Fillers are a great way to add volume to specific problem areas and require touch-ups. They have a moderate lifting capacity.

Thread lifts

, on the other hand, provide a gentle lift by tightening and lifting the entire face in a single treatment. Both PDO thread lifts and dermal fillers can have excellent results for lifting the face and treating sagging skin.

Dermal fillers are well known for rejuvenating facial features, as well as for plumping, lifting and supporting the skin. These HA-filled injectable skin restoratives can be used in many ways on virtually all areas of the face, providing structure, tone, moisture and a more sculpted, youthful facial appearance. PDO threads have become more popular in recent years due to their collagen-creating properties. Inserted into areas that need lifting and stretching, these magic threads can provide a mesh-like support system under the skin to instantly lift sagging areas such as the cheeks and décolleté, while, over time, they produce a “healing” response within the dermis that encourages skin to accelerate your collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more sculpted and youthful face. The choice between PDO thread lift and dermal filler depends on the patients and the condition of the skin.

There are areas such as the neck and jaw where dermal fillers are not suitable, but PDO thread lift is the perfect solution for sagging skin. The results of dermal filler are visible immediately, while those of a PDO thread lift are fully visible when the body starts to generate collagen. The results of dermal fillers can last between 6 and nine months, while those of a thread lift with PDO can last between 12 and 18 months. If there is significant sagging or drooping of the skin, a thread lift with PDO is likely to give better results than fillers. However, if you want to address the volume on the face and smooth out lines and folds, dermal fillers are right for you.

At the same time, thread lifts always get up, but they cannot restore volume in the same way as stuffing. They can lift sagging skin and reduce lines and wrinkles, but they cannot smooth and replenish skin in the same way that filler does. Thread lifts can be done in many smaller sessions. The results of a thread lift with PDO are not immediately apparent, as the swelling takes a few weeks to subside and the threads to relax. Thread lifts are commonly used to reduce sagging in the middle of the face, especially around the nasolabial folds; create a brow lift; reduce heaviness in the eyelids; sharpen the jawline or reduce sagging or double chin in the lower part of the face; tighten the neck; create an eye almond-shaped; and achieve a “lip turn” appearance.

The second procedure is Nova Lyft, which involves inserting threads under the skin of the flaccid tissue. During a thread lift, the doctor places the threads under the skin using a thin tube known as a cannula. PDO (polydioxanone) threads can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are important for restoring skin smoothness and stimulating wrinkle reduction. While it's clear that dermal fillers aren't going anywhere, PDO thread lift (another injectable skin filling treatment) is rapidly gaining popularity. Chbat achieved this magnificent result on the same day with a thread lift, and its results will continue to improve in the coming weeks. A wonderful side benefit of threads is their ability to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are vital for giving volume to the skin and stimulating wrinkle reduction.

The most popular treatments to improve the face and revive youth in the past five years have been dermal fillers and thread lifts. After the threads have done this actual lift, your body's healing response is activated, stimulating natural collagen production that continues for up to a year after treatment. Because it takes some time for the face to relax around the strands and for the swelling to subside, you will have to wait about 2 weeks for it to settle. The threads gradually dissolve over about six months, although their effects can continue to be seen for up to a year as collagen levels increase. The PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that helps tighten the skin in problem areas such as chin and jaw.
