EuroThreads: The Lunchtime Facelift

By Dr. Andrew Kontos

EuroThreads, or PDO (polydioxanone) threads, are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and body. These threads, made from biodegradable materials, are inserted beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, and create a lifting effect.

Benefits of Eurothreads:
1. Non-Surgical Alternative: EuroThreads offer a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift procedures, making them appealing to individuals who want to achieve a more youthful appearance without undergoing surgery.

2. Immediate Results: Patients may notice an immediate improvement in skin laxity and tightness following EuroThread treatment, which will continue to enhance over time as collagen production is stimulated.

3. Minimal Downtime: Compared to surgical facelifts, EuroThreads typically involve minimal downtime and recovery. Patients can usually resume their normal activities shortly after treatment, although temporary swelling or bruising may occur.

4. Customizable Treatment: EuroThreads can be customized to target specific areas of concern, such as the cheeks, jawline, neck, or brows. This allows personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals.

5. Long-Lasting Results: While individual results may vary, the effects of EuroThreads can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on factors such as the patient’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits.

Options for Eurothreads:
• Thread Length and Thickness: EuroThreads come in various lengths and thicknesses to accommodate different treatment areas and desired outcomes. Longer and thicker threads may be used for deeper lifting and structural support, while shorter and finer threads may be used for superficial tightening and rejuvenation.

• Number of Threads: The number of threads used during treatment can vary depending on the extent of correction needed and the patient’s aesthetic goals. A skilled provider will assess the patient’s anatomy and recommend the appropriate number of threads to achieve optimal results.

EuroThreads offer a safe and effective solution for individuals seeking to improve skin laxity and achieve a youthful appearance without surgery. With their customizable options and minimal downtime, EuroThreads have become popular for patients looking for natural-looking results and long-lasting benefits.
