A PDO thread lift is a well-liked procedure that tightens and lifts the skin while reducing the appearance of age. Although the thread lift treatment is safe and quite effective for many patients, you need to take a few measures to guarantee you get the best results.
Following a PDO thread lift, you’ll want to avoid the following things to maintain your improved look and get your desired outcomes.
Rubbing your face.
Following a thread lift, your skin requires time to recover. The threads may slide out of position if you rub your face, giving you less-than-ideal results. Make sure to exfoliate your skin the day before if regular exfoliation is a part of your skincare regimen. Applying moisturizers, serums, or other prescription-only products is also not advised after your PDO Thread lift.
Sleeping on your side or stomach.
Applying too much pressure to the treated region is one of the worst things you can do following a thread lift. Within the first five nights following treatment, sleeping on your stomach or side may result in swelling, pain, bruising, or even fewer outcomes.
Before your treatment, try sleeping on your back for a few weeks if you typically sleep on your side or stomach or toss and turn all night. If you still turn over after settling into a comfortable back position, sleep in a chair to lessen the chance that you will do so after treatment.
Applying makeup.
For several reasons, you should refrain from wearing makeup for at least the first 12 hours following your treatment. Your skin is sensitive initially after treatment for a few hours. Even products that generally cause you relatively slight skin irritation should be avoided.
Additionally, it’s essential that your skin can breathe for the first 12 hours following treatment. Skin can get suffocated by cosmetics. And last, when removing their makeup, most women exert a lot of pressure on their skin. It’s advised to avoid wearing makeup for the first 12 hours following treatment to reduce the danger of exerting too much pressure on your face.
Strenuous activities.
Patients must refrain from their usual activity regimen for at least seven days following therapy. Any vigorous activity raising blood pressure and heart rate can affect healing. Slow walks and easy stretches are acceptable alternatives. Generally speaking, exercise is excessively vigorous and might put your heart under harm.
Prolonged heat exposure.
Simply put, you should avoid putting too much pressure on your face and raising your blood pressure following a PDO thread lift. Even though you might not be aware of it, prolonged heat exposure considerably increases blood pressure.
Avoid prolonged heat exposure to maintain a normal blood pressure range. Avoid tanning beds, dry saunas, steam rooms, and sunbathing to do this. Instead, take a warm bath. Additionally, staying hydrated will assist you in keeping relaxed and preserving healthy blood pressure.
Drinking alcohol.
For the first two weeks following your thread lift, you should abstain from alcohol for several reasons. First, alcohol is a diuretic, which means it will cause you to lose a lot of water and nutrients needed for your skin’s health. Second, drinking alcohol considerably raises blood pressure.
Smoking.
Sadly, smoking is still another popular habit that raises blood pressure. Dozens of the chemical constituents in cigarette smoke, including nicotine, restrict your blood vessels. It implies, among other things, that nutrients cannot efficiently reach your skin through your bloodstream. It’s essential to remember that any product with nicotine can cause your blood pressure to increase.
Now that you have ideas on what you should NOT do after a PDO thread lift, it is as essential to learn what you SHOULD DO after the treatment.
What should you do after a PDO Thread Lift?
After a PDO thread lifts, it’s crucial to refrain from doing particular things. But just as essential as what you stay away from is what you do. Applying a little antibiotic cream and going to a follow-up visit a few weeks following your thread lift are things you should do.
No particular post-procedure activity is required. Your practitioner will encourage you to use extra caution than usual as you go about your day. But if you want to speed up your recovery, think about the following.
- If you have a low pain threshold, request a topical anesthetic from your doctor.
- Ice the treatment area gently to lessen pain and swelling.
- Take the day off to prevent stress that might cause your blood pressure to rise.
Even though thread lift treatments are minimally invasive and safe, risks and consequences still exist. To guarantee that your thread lift heals appropriately, take care of the treated region and refrain from prohibited activities.
What does a PDO thread lift do?
The goal of PDO thread lifting, a minimally invasive surgery for facial rejuvenation, is to lift and tighten the skin for a firmer, younger appearance. Additionally, the dissolvable PDO threads utilized in a PDO thread lift encourage collagen formation for an even more dramatic outcome. Ideal PDO thread-lifting candidates exhibit early to mild indications of aging in the midface, such as:
- saggy skin
- loose skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- sunken cheeks
- sagging jowls
