PLLA Threads

PLLA Threads: Made of poly-L-lactic acid, it is known for its safety and ability to stimulate collagen production. PLLA threads usually last 12-24 months and are ideal for patients seeking long-term skin rejuvenation. PLLA threads are ideal for lifting sagging skin and improving elasticity in a more natural, gradual way. PLLA threads are suitable for patients who want long-term rejuvenation without frequent touch-ups.

PCL Threads: Made of polycaprolactone, it degrades more slowly than PLLA. PCL threads can last up to 24-36 months due to their slower degradation. PCL threads have teeth, but PLLA threads cannot form barbs due to the material. Therefore, PCL threads are more versatile than PLLA threads and can play a better lifting role.

PLLA Threads: As mentioned earlier, PLLA threads are composed of poly-L-lactic acid and gradually dissolve while promoting collagen production. PLLA threads can last for 12-24 months, providing longer-term skin improvement than PDO threads. Best for: Patients who want longer-lasting results and gradual improvement, and have a budget that can afford the PLLA thread procedure.

PDO threads: Made of polydioxane. PDO threads dissolve faster, usually within 6-9 months, and the overall effect is shorter. But PDO threads come in a variety of styles, including explosive threads, zigzag threads, and nose and embossing threads, which can meet the requirements of a variety of facial projects, such as facial contouring, rhinoplasty, filling nasolabial folds, and lifting the corners of the eyes. They are absorbed faster by the body and are best suited for those who only need short-term results.

PLLA Threads:

PLLA threads are used in thread lift procedure. These threads are implanted just below the skin to lift and tighten the skin while stimulating collagen production for long-term anti-aging effects. The threads are implanted through tiny pinholes and are commonly used on the face, neck, and different parts of the body to lift and reshape the skin.

PLLA Fillers:

PLLA fillers are an injectable product that is commonly used to fill facial skin to restore volume and structure, and reduce wrinkles and depressions. They are injected into specific areas to fill depressions, restore facial volume, and stimulate collagen production by gradually releasing polylactic acid for long-term, natural results. PLLA fillers are injected with a blunt needle into depressions and areas that need to be filled.

Avoid excessive facial expressions: The threads are implanted in the superficial layer of the skin. Avoid large facial expressions to prevent the threads from shifting. Also, avoid rubbing and massaging.

Avoid strenuous exercise: Although it is a minimally invasive surgery, it still creates a lot of small wounds on the face. Avoid strenuous exercise to prevent the wounds from causing facial infection due to sweating or other reasons.

Cold compress: Within one week after surgery, apply cold compress to the wound every day, and take painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs if necessary to relieve pain and swelling.

Avoid alcohol and tobacco: Avoid drinking and smoking during the postoperative recovery period, as these habits may prolong recovery time and affect the final effect.
