PDO COG Thread Lift - the non surgical face lift
A COG thread lift, often referred to as the “no-blade facelift,” is a non-surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin of the face and neck. Using PDO (polydioxanone) COG threads, this innovative treatment redefines facial contours and stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer, rejuvenated appearance. The procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other treatments, offering a versatile solution for those seeking non-invasive facial enhancement.
What it is: A COG thread lift is a non-surgical procedure to lift and tighten skin using PDO threads.
Longevity: Results improve over 3-6 months and can last up to 2-3 years.
Cost: Approximately £1500, making it a cost-effective alternative to surgical facelifts.
Customization: Tailored to individual needs, with 3-6 threads typically used per area.
Benefits: Stimulates collagen, redefines contours, and improves skin texture with minimal downtime.
How long does a COG thread lift last?
The effects of a PDO COG thread lift are both immediate and progressive. By stimulating collagen production, this treatment provides visible tightening and lifting within weeks, with optimal results seen after 3-6 months. These effects continue to improve over time and can last up to 2-3 years, depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits.
How much do COG threads cost?
A COG thread lift offers a more affordable alternative to traditional surgical facelifts, with prices typically starting around £1500. While medical insurance does not usually cover cosmetic procedures, the cost is significantly lower than invasive surgeries, making it an accessible option for many.
How Often Can You Have a Thread Lift?
Thread lifts can be repeated to maintain results. Most individuals opt for a second treatment after 1-2 years as the face gradually returns to its original position. The timing depends on factors like skin elasticity, aging, and personal preferences.
Can a Thread Lift Be Done on the Neck?
Yes, thread lifts are highly effective for the neck. A neck thread lift can be performed independently or in combination with a facial thread lift to contour the jawline and enhance neck definition. This dual approach often provides a more harmonious and youthful overall appearance.
What Should You Avoid After a Thread Lift?
To ensure optimal results and minimize complications, adhere to the following post-procedure guidelines:
- Avoid touching or disturbing the entry points for 24 hours.
- Refrain from wearing makeup for the first 24 hours.
- Avoid alcohol consumption and facial treatments such as massages during this period.
How Many Threads Are Used in a Thread Lift?
The number of threads used in a PDO COG thread lift depends on individual goals and skin type. Typically:
- Face: Three threads per side.
- Neck: Two threads per side.
The choice of threads and their placement are customized to achieve the desired lift, rejuvenation, and skin-tightening effects.
Are Celebrities Getting Thread Lifts?
Yes, thread lifts have gained significant popularity in recent years, with many celebrities reportedly turning to this minimally invasive procedure for a refreshed look. Celebrities like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Emily Ratajkowski have been linked to this trend, further driving its appeal.
