HD PDO Brow Lift Specialist Q&A

Most of us want to maintain our youthful appearance as we age, but clearly nature has other plans for our aging skin, and gravity and the loss of elasticity of our skin (skin laxity) don’t work in our favor. If you’re over 40 you’re probably beginning to notice these natural changes to your skin, especially around your eyes, where crow’s feet and sagging eyebrows start become more noticeable. An HD (High Density) PDO eyebrow thread lift is a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses high density poly-dioxanone thread to lift and tighten sagging skin, and the results are noticeable following treatment. The HD threads used are stronger, last longer, and stimulate the production of more collagen than other PDOs. Threads gradually dissolve over the course of about 6 to 8 months, and are replaced by naturally produced collagen in our skin, which improves texture, fine lines and holds up the lifted skin for up to 3 years.

Lying down on your back, a medical professional will mark the areas of your face to be treated, then apply a topical anesthetic on the areas to reduce discomfort. Then, with sharp, very thin needles they will insert and anchor the HD PDO threads into the skin layers. Your medical professional then lifts the threads to lift and tighten your skin. Any excess threads are removed, and the procedure is complete. It is common after the procedure to experience some soreness, minor bruising or swelling, which normally resolves in a few days. Applying ice to the treated areas will help to reduce bruising and swelling. Healing time is usually around 2 weeks, during which time you may see rippling on the corner of your eyebrow because of the thread attachment, But, don’t worry, these will fade and be smooth in a couple of weeks.

Your medical professional will give you a list of things to avoid during the healing process which include:

• Refrain from using soap and water for 24 hours.
• No make-up for 1 to 2 days to prevent infection.
• Avoid applying pressure to treated areas for 2 to 3 weeks.
• Avoid exercise or strenuous activities for 2 to 3 weeks.
• Avoid extreme temperatures for 1 month (sauna, hot yoga, etc.).
• Avoid having laser treatments on the treated area for 2 months to prevent dissolving the threads prematurely.

It is important to keep your follow-up appointment with your medical professional and follow any post-treatment directions you are given.

HD PDO threads will normally dissolve within 4 to 6 months, however, after they dissolve they continue to have a regenerative and lifting effect on your skin. Depending on the laxity of your skin, the results of the treatment can last between 1 and 3 years. Though the eyebrow HD PDO thread lift is a completely safe procedure, it can be unsafe to undergo the procedure too frequently. However, it is considered safe to have the treatment done twice in one year, if necessary.

The eyebrow HD PDO thread lift is a revolutionary treatment in the field of aesthetics, but the first thing the ideal candidate should have are realistic expectations. Secondly, they should have a substantial loss of elasticity of the skin on their face that would warrant the procedure.

People who are ideal candidates for an eyebrow HD PDO thread lift are those who have:

• Sagging eyebrows
• Tired or “angry” facial appearance
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Deep lines between the eyebrows
• Heavy upper eyelids
