Introducing PDO COG Threads • 1
by

GC Skin Boutique is always introducing new and advanced treatments into clinic, we spend a lot of our time researching what’s on offer in the beauty industry, trialling and carefully selecting our additions to the menu. We present the very best to our clients, treatments we completely back and believe in, and that are 100% safe. That’s why we’ve officially welcomed the facelift without the knife, PDO Cog Threads. The most minimally invasive procedure on the market to date with results lasting for up to 2 years. Hallelujah! Nurse Jahnelle explains PDO Cog Threads below, the results and the recovery.

“Thread lifts, the revolutionary non-surgical face lift. This treatment has taken the cosmetic world by storm by providing natural face lift results! Drastically correcting sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, under eye bags, jowls, smile lines and loose skin in the neck. The threads are made from Polydioxanone (PDO), a type of absorbable suture which has been used in cosmetic surgeries for years. The beautiful part of PDO is it not only does it lift and tighten the skin but it also trigger the production of collagen type1, type 2 and hyaluronic acid to the skin tissue for up to 18 months post treatment. Improving skin texture and hydration. Thread lifts involve inserting the PDO suture under the skin allowing it to grasp onto the skin and tightened as tautly as possible to provide incredible results.

This treatment is not be mistaken with the recovery of any dermal filler or anti-wrinkle treatment. As beautiful as the results are, they naturally come with a longer down time. Clients can feel they are wearing super tight ponytail for the following several days. Restricting mouth movements, such as big yawns and laughs. We prioritise client safety and for this reason, a complimentary consult is required prior to booking in for this treatment to ensure clients understand the downtime of bruising, swelling and skin irregularities for the following days to come. Clients do have local anaesthetic which can add to the swelling and additional downtime. As this treatment is a mechanical process it is very important clients understand just as easily as we can tighten the skin, the results can be relaxed in the following days if recovery care is not followed. Client’s need to sleep on their backs for 7 days post treatment and keep their giggles to a minimum to keep those WOW results!

Facial ageing is inevitable and whilst we can’t turn off your biological ageing clock this treatment is definitely like no other. Traditional facelift results are neither permanent with results lasting 5 years, so we are ecstatic with the longevity of this non-surgical treatment that lasts up to 2 years. Of course, it is important to take note of a clients individual ageing factors (smoking, sun exposure and genetics). Needless to say clients often find they can maintain results of this treatment with more minimal treatments such as skin needling and HIFU.”
