Thread lifting with PDO threads in Vienna

First ordination:

During your first appointment, we will provide you with detailed information about the method, the expected results and possible risks. We will discuss which areas are to be treated and how many stitches are to be used.

Preparation:

On the day of treatment, the face is cleaned and disinfected. Local anaesthetic or a numbing cream is applied to the areas to be treated to make the procedure painless.

Marking:

Points are marked where the sutures are inserted. These markings serve as a guide during the procedure.

Inserting the PDO threads:

The absorbable PDO threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads have tiny barbs that anchor themselves in the tissue and cause an immediate tightening effect. At the same time, they stimulate collagen production, which leads to a long-term improvement in skin structure.

Completion of the treatment:

Once all the stitches have been placed, the skin is disinfected again. Final cooling can minimise swelling and redness.

Aftercare:

The patient is given instructions on how to care for the treated areas. It is recommended to avoid strong facial expressions and pressure on the treated areas for the first few days. Sport and sauna should be avoided for about a week.

Follow-up check:

A follow-up appointment is arranged to assess the result and ensure that the healing is progressing as expected.

Treatment with PDO sutures usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of sutures used and the area treated.

Patients are usually able to socialise immediately or within a few days. However, slight swelling or bruising may occur, which usually disappears quickly.

Possible side effects include slight swelling, redness, bruising and temporary pain at the injection sites. In rare cases, infections or asymmetries may occur.

The typical results of a thread lift are an immediate tightening and contour improvement, increasing skin firmness and elasticity through Stimulated collagen productionand a long-lasting rejuvenation of the skin, which reaches its peak after a few months and lasts for around 12 to 18 months.

Treatment: from 300,- €*

*Guide prices: The treatment costs depend on the method and number of PDO sutures to be placed.
