Treating the lower face often utilises a multi-treatment approach for best results. However the most central concern is the loss of definition around the jawline due to excess or sagging skin which drapes over and hides the underlying bone and subsequently masking it’s contour.
By using PDO, or polydiaxanone, this soft tissue can be lifted, in doing so the jawline becomes more defined and sculpted without the addition of unnecessary volume which can add unnecessary bulk and volume. Over time the treatment will stimulate an increase in collagen production in order to target sagging skin and prevent further – a non-surgical and gentle alternative to a face-lift.
Following a consultation with your SAS Aesthetics doctor, this minimally invasive treatment is carried out by inserting ultra-fine lightweight suture threads into the skin via a small needle/ cannula. The threads act as an anchor within the skin to lift and reinforce its physical structure. Suture threads will naturally dissolve over a number of months. Meanwhile, collagen builds around them to form the long-term effect of a taut, uplifted look and feel to the skin.
PDO Thread Lift procedures are an excellent treatment choice for any area of skin with diminished structure and are most often used to treat areas lacking firmness or a smooth, even texture – such as jowls & jawline to pull back any loose skin and create a more defined and sculpted appearance.
Often combined with a number of treatments, PDO Thread Lifts work very well in conjunction with dermal filler treatments and anti- wrinkle injections for an overall effect to create balance and structure as part of our Facial Contouring Packages.
