You've surely heard of Resorbable Collagen Thread Lifts as an excellent alternative to surgery or invasive methods, to improve firmness issues and expression lines on the face. More and more clients are requesting this type of treatment to improve their skin, and there are several advantages that make it essential in your beauty salon. In this article we give you all the information.
What Are Resorbable Collagen Thread Lifts?
Resorbable collagen thread lifts, also known as PDO threads, are a (non-surgical) aesthetic treatment designed to tighten and lift the skin, restoring lost firmness and youthfulness.
This treatment consists of placing thin threads in the skin made of biocompatible materials (polydioxanone, PDO) that naturally dissolve in the body over time. These threads stimulate the body's natural collagen production, achieving a gradual, natural lifting effect. The skin looks firmer, re-densified and more youthful.
As the threads are resorbable, they gradually dissolve over time, leaving behind natural collagen fibres for long-lasting results.
How Are Resorbable Collagen Thread Lifts Applied?
The application procedure for resorbable collagen thread lifts is relatively simple and can be carried out in your beauty salon's treatment room like any facial treatment. Naturally, a prior skin assessment is essential to check its condition and determine the areas that require treatment.
We can divide the treatment into two parts:
1. The first part would be Cleansing and Preparing the Skin. For this we start with a double cleanse using a product that removes oil-soluble dirt (such as a cleansing milk or oil), removing make-up and sunscreen, followed by a second cleansing product that removes water-soluble impurities such as dirt particles, dust, etc. The next step is exfoliation to "polish" the skin. Exfoliating removes all dead cells and thoroughly clears the pores of any impurities. This way, the skin is ready for treatment and will absorb the products better.
In this phase prior to placing the threads, a complementary skin treatment can also be carried out, for example, applying active ingredients with a Dermapen or a device such as radiofrequency. These treatments complement the service and help improve the skin's condition, which leads to better results.
2. The second part would be Applying the Resorbable Collagen Thread Lifts. We recommend checking the usage protocol for each brand, as specifications may vary by product. At Seena Owell we recommend these for their efficacy and quality — a Best Seller!: Hydrolysed collagen threads.
To apply the threads, an active ingredient is used as an “activator”, which is usually 1% Hyaluronic Acid.
Open the ampoule of hyaluronic acid, pour the contents into a container to work comfortably and apply it generously to the area to be treated with a fan brush. Then place the thread on the skin, following the shape of the expression line, and "paint" the thread with more hyaluronic acid to moisten it and let it start working. There's no need to press or try to make the thread penetrate — the skin will absorb it gradually. Follow this process in all the areas you're going to work on the face and neck.
Next, to close the process and help the threads absorb, apply a hyaluronic acid mask to the entire face. You can find this type of mask in different formats: ready-prepared and ready to apply, or in alginate form, to be prepared just before application.
We recommend these two options available in our online shop:
- Alginate mask with hyaluronic acid - Cibelesthetic
- Hyaluronic acid mask with nano fibres - Wherteimar
The results of applying Resorbable Collagen Thread Lifts are immediate and progressively improve as they are resorbed.
What Skin Types Are Resorbable Collagen Thread Lifts Suitable For?
This treatment is indicated when the first signs of facial sagging begin to appear. However, its efficacy decreases in cases of more advanced sagging, especially in older patients with a limited capacity to regenerate collagen.
They are mainly applied to areas of the body such as the cheeks, neck, forehead and jawline, although they could also be used on the arms, abdomen, buttocks, chest and thighs.
