I had the procedure with thread lifts for my marionette lines. Had 10 threads inserted in my cheeks. It lifted my cheeks, reduced my marionette lines, made my face shorter and firmer. The procedure was not painful. I am doing it again for sure. Look 10 years younger, and my face looks the same, just younger.
I love it when people call people by their first names. Usually when my best friend or bf call me by my name I know I’m in trouble or if it’s a stranger then I fully expect to turn around and see someone giving me that joker smile
This has been the most informative video about pdo threads I have seen so thank you. I got this done for my nasiolabial folds and am very happy with the results
I had threads a few months ago and are extremley happy with the results that just keep getting better. ( I was a good candidate) I didnt know about the collagen treatment to enhance so thank you Sooo much for this informative video. I will be doing that for sure! I did get a fair bit of brusing along the jaw line but a good makeup covered it up very well. I highly recommend this treatment. Im one for subtle changes that make me look more refreshed and anything that can help along the jawline like this a winner!
I just got Matrix threads done yesterday with a fantastic injector. After numbing cream it was so quick and almost painless (just a tiny sting, very bearable). No bruising, swelling, pain at all. I'm getting hyperdilluted Radiesse next in 4 weeks as part of my treatment plan to build up collagen and firm up jawline/prejowls and Belotero for chin projection/v-line. It looks so natural no one can tell even 1 hour after treatment that anything was ever done...takes a few weeks to see the full results but I was a pretty good candidate as I am at the mild sagging stage with thick skin/fat levels at age 40. I do at-home chemical peels & Retin A, serums religiously and have a healthy diet/lifestyle/avoid sun exposure which also helps greatly 😉😁🤞
13:25 If you take the right PDO threads, 26g screw for example, you will get volume! I filled up my gaunt looking cheeks by doing this on my own at home. And it worked fantastically, looks very natural, as I'm not a fan of fillers at all.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What an informative, wonderful video! the best I have come across! Brilliant! Thank you for answering all the questions one could have and more!
Agreed. No one here in the US uses this technique much. The barb threads are all the rage at the moment. This video was very informative and I really appreciate it! Please make a video about the barb threads Dr. Davin Lim. We love you!! Great job.
I just had it done by a professional for free as a training class. It didn’t look like the above needles. Instead they numbed my face in a straight line from the top of my cheek bone to the bottom of my neck with lidocaine, which burned like crazy! Then they inserted the hollow tubed needles in six places, one at a time, from my check to my neck - they had to be about seven inches long - and pulled them out leaving the thread sticking out. They did two next to each other, twisted, Rubbed upward and pushed it beneath the skin. The results… enough pain to make it uncomfortable to eat for two days, sore, bruising type of pain, and pinching for a week. It almost feels like your face is fatigued so eating, talking and smiling are an effort. As for what I look like …… drum roll….I look like nothing ever happened!!!! An Infinitesimal difference… not a person would notice! I don’t even look refreshed. Verdict: Not worth it. Save a little more and get a lower face lift. Thank god I didn’t pay for this!!
I currently have Barbed PDO threads. It's literal magic for jowls and nasal folds. However, it hurt ALOT even with lidocaine injected. Prepare for a day or two off after. It hurts to smile, brush your teeth, eat. It cost $1500. I like the results but considering the cost, pain and not lasting that long I doubt I'd do it again.
@@ShellyAF1 I've only had them for a couple weeks. My face still hurts a bit. The effects, in general, only last about a year if no additional threads are added after the initial.
Can you do a video on placement of the threads for the desired results. I feel like each time I go to my doctor for the marionette lines and jowls, it’s not as effective as I feel like they should be. I don’t think she is placing them properly. Also some of the placement for underneath my chin, as the threads have dissolved over time, indicates that they were placed unevenly and over tightened. So again what would be the ideal placement of threads to tighten a chin? Thanks
I had 16 pdo cogs placed in my brow/cheeks/under eyes/jowls looked great for a few weeks but was in agony as dhe pulled them that tight but unfortunately once rhey all settled my skin was sagging extremely disappointed especially paying all that money 😢.. But i decided to start diy treatments ive placed many pdo/pcl mono & screw threads along with Microneedling/mesotherapy/botox/skin boosters/plasma fibroblast and ive completely lifted & tightened the sagging my face has never felt so firm and lifted i swear by the mono & screw threads 😊
Curious why you didn’t mention red light therapy. It is a heating treatments and it’s used for all sorts of things & has benefits similar to the other things you mentioned. It is also good for bruising after procedures especially if you have thin pale skin
Hi Dr. Davin Lim! I was wondering if you could cover the new magnetic lash tech that's out there. Everyone is raving about this lashify stuff.. I'm kind of scared to use them.. hearing about "magnetic particles" near my eye is a big no for me (I would really worry if I ever needed to have an MRI especially.) Do you have any experience on this or can direct me to somewhere that really shows the safety regarding this?
Great video on Threads, I’m going to be having them done soon, my injector is wonderful and I’ve been going to her for years and Trust her to do this procedure on my one and only face @60+, I just have to save a little money to get it done as I’m due to have my Botox in those areas you mentioned, the forehead, 11’s and around my eyes all at the same time. Cheers from Brisbane also, my injector knows you as well which is a bonus for me. I’m pretty sure she worked at your clinic at some stage. Thank you Dr Lim. 😊
@@ZoeMC369 unfortunately I wasn’t a candidate for this procedure, it’s a year old video, as I stated in my above comment, I truly trust my injector with my one and only face and she didn’t recommend it for me, I guess I’m just too Old Lol 😂, on someone younger than myself I think they’d have great results but it just wasn’t for me and I Truly Appreciate Her Honesty and just didn’t do them for the sake of the money 💰, she’s an absolute doll. Maybe ask someone else from a different channel and see how they went. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you. Have a Great Day and Weekend ahead. 😊❤️❤️🇦🇺🦘🐨

Dr. Lim I've experienced more pain in life. No way am I going to have this done to look younger. Plus I'd want you as my doctor for surgical procedures but I'm in Illinois 🇺🇸
Hi Dr. I would like to knkw if it is true that radiofrecuency like CO2 resurfacing can cause dark spot or melasma to some kind of color skin? Please I appreciaate your answer a lot. XOXO
Are there specific patterns you’re supposed to follow when doing them safe from the nose down or can you just put them in anyway you want or should there be a specific pattern? Great great video every time I had a question you answered it with your next question lol lol thank you.
Should you see results right away? I had PDO threads around my jawline/jowls and didn’t see any immediate results whatsoever, the lady who did it said it can take 1-3 months to see results as the collagen needs to build up? Worried I paid a lot of money for nothing :(
Here in my town no one will do these they all have given them a bad name and say they won't work and can cause keloid. So I keep getting fillers and that's not what I'm looking for. I don't know if it's cause they can't do it and they know folk will still pay for fillers
that was my question too . i think in all honesty it would be . same if using too much filler in certain area all the time ,over time that skin will stretch
@@MT-yx5cu I believe so, especially ageing won’t reverse and everyone is different. It’s not just about treating the dermis alone but also the epidermis. And there’s the fat layer loss and bone loss factors too. Many factors including age contribute so can’t depend on PDO threads alone. In short PDO may work for some and not for some.
You would benefit from Mono threads. They cause collagen induction which tightens the skin. Almost everyone could benefit from this kind. He's speaking about barbed lifting threads.
Dr can you please talk about any surgeries that make the eyes longer or larger?? I can only find things like double eyelid surgery which don't seem to be for me -I'm 23 and white, I have slightly hooded eyes I guess but I feel they are small and too close together. If I could get bigger eyes, my whole face would be so much better
I had the procedure two times . Both times lasted two weeks only . Daylight robbery and no lasting results . The only thing that works in my opinion for lasting results is surgery that’s it . All other treatments are temporary at best .
how much time does micro encapsulated tretinoin take to absorb also, can't a simple thin needle be used being careful of depth, instead of dermal rollers or stamps
@Dr Davin Lim: Please correct me if I'm wrong: Are You saying, that the new collagen (formed by fibrosis) will dissapear in 1 to 2 years? Does this mean, that those new filaments are not the same as 'regular' collagen filaments? They are temporary?? To put it short : new collagen forms around the Threads, but the build-up is temporary, it is not being build into regular collagen structures and after the thread dissolves, it slowly degrades, so after 2 years there is nothing left from the original collagen build-up? Not even 5-10%?? So it is more like a filler, not stimulator then. Total waste of money. I have been looking for this simple and precise answer for a while - and could not find it. There are no long term studies and esteticians fail to provide this information straightforward :-(. Thank You for very informative content btw. :)
I had six PDO smooth threads placed in my lower face one week ago, and I wound up with three nodule-looking spots next to one side of my mouth that created a jowl-like formation. I went back to the service provider who said she couldn't do anything about it, that it had to be swelling and wasn't her fault, and that it would go away in another week or two. Based on the videos I've watched, I surmise she placed the threads too close to the surface and I'm stuck with this for months. I can't deal. Does anyone have any tips on managing the issue?
@@dobrilabijelic1631 I actually didn't see any change for the better and would NOT recommend it...at least, not in the lower cheek area the way I had mine placed. Might be good for the neck or forehead, but I doubt I'll try it again.
Once the thread lift is done, will the effect of the treatment be affected after for eg sleeping on the side, or maybe rubbing the skin with makeup remover?
Iam 39 year old and round fatty face . I am thinking for pdo mono thread. For lip corner down with fat and little marionette line . But someone suggested filler. I don't want filler. What do you suggest?
Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow! Looks painful and miserable. I see lots of celebs getting good results, but my days of self torture for the sake of looking a bit better are behind me. But if it works and folks like it, it’s cool. Very informative video.
For the barbed threads (suspension): the pulling during the procedure is quite rough and the anaesthetic isn't always as far as the chin. I'd say 3 seconds of pain for injecting the anaesthetic and then another 3 seconds each side of leg-kicking pain as the thread goes as far as the chin. The rest just feels peculiar and it's over fast, under an hour. Afterwards you feel a bit stunned. Cold packs on the face for an hour afterwards to reduce swelling. The results are excellent though.
Do you offer online consults? I’ve been following you for sometime and would trust your suggestions. I know you couldn’t do the procedures, but you could point me in the right direction with regard to the best treatments I need for my skin and age. I’m a Black female, 56 years old. Minimal wrinkles but skin has become a little bit textured, minor discoloration probably hormonal around eyes and on cheekbones, but main issues is deepening laugh lines and slight droop along the jaw lines. I’m not sure of what treatment to get and don’t want to be taken advantage of with places that will just recommend treatments I don’t need. I also have minor darkness on my upper lip. I’m thinking due to my Cpap machine that I started using in May. That could also be the reason for the darkening on my cheekbones. 🤦🏽♀️
Can PDO be done on the bridge of the nose? I was in a motorcycle accident and it destroyed my cartilage which left me with a big nice hump looks like a witches nose. So therefore every year and a half I need to get filler to fill the gap…the doctor suggested PDO..? If not any suggestions on what type of filler is safe enough that will help restore the cartilage for longer period of time?
Best to get an experienced revision rhino surgeon who uses cartilage and fascia. I had filler in my nose for years. Finally got it fixed. Not cheap, but long lasting result 8 years later nobody can tell I had a collapse V deformity in my bridge.
@@kd2533 When you were getting filler in your nose did you experience it swelling and looking bigger from all the filler? I feel like my nose has definitely got bigger in size. What filler did you use? And what is long lasting 8 years later? How long does a revision rhinoplasty suppose to last?? I would love to get a rhinoplasty and be done with the fillers. I wonder if insurance will cover any of it being that I do sniff a million times a day, snore super loud and get stuffy nose for no reason.
I had the procedure with thread lifts for my marionette lines. Had 10 threads inserted in my cheeks. It lifted my cheeks, reduced my marionette lines, made my face shorter and firmer.

@Tracy Mothersbaugh 300 EUR in Croatia, Europe.
How long did it last?
One minute for anesthetic cream application, few seconds for each needle. No bruises, no pain. But, be careful , plan dentist appointments before.
@@ANITA-iw8mf Hi Anita! How are they holding up?
Can this treatment be done on face for severe acne scars? Example on cheeks/ temple area ?
Refreshing to hear a Dr who explains what procedures actually do as well as giving us pros and cons.
I had no idea my fave TH-cam doctor was tatted up and I AM HERE FOR IT! Shows more of your personality, Davin.

how much time does micro encapsulated tretinoin take to absorb

This seems like a nutty thing to do.

Iam 39 year old and round fatty face . I am thinking for pdo mono thread. For lip corner down with fat and little marionette line . But someone suggested filler. I don't want filler. What do you suggest?
Is anybody knows how much is it cost in usa?
can i ask doc. can i go threadlift? i have mild nasolabial on my left side only near my mouth
Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow! Looks painful and miserable. I see lots of celebs getting good results, but my days of self torture for the sake of looking a bit better are behind me. But if it works and folks like it, it’s cool. Very informative video.
It looks painful but mono threads like 30G 25mm PDO threads are very fine and short and you don't even need numbing cream.
For the barbed threads (suspension): the pulling during the procedure is quite rough and the anaesthetic isn't always as far as the chin. I'd say 3 seconds of pain for injecting the anaesthetic and then another 3 seconds each side of leg-kicking pain as the thread goes as far as the chin. The rest just feels peculiar and it's over fast, under an hour. Afterwards you feel a bit stunned. Cold packs on the face for an hour afterwards to reduce swelling. The results are excellent though.
Thank goodness as I'm covered in them. 😂
Do you offer online consults? I’ve been following you for sometime and would trust your suggestions. I know you couldn’t do the procedures, but you could point me in the right direction with regard to the best treatments I need for my skin and age. I’m a Black female, 56 years old. Minimal wrinkles but skin has become a little bit textured, minor discoloration probably hormonal around eyes and on cheekbones, but main issues is deepening laugh lines and slight droop along the jaw lines. I’m not sure of what treatment to get and don’t want to be taken advantage of with places that will just recommend treatments I don’t need. I also have minor darkness on my upper lip. I’m thinking due to my Cpap machine that I started using in May. That could also be the reason for the darkening on my cheekbones. 🤦🏽♀️
I have nerve damage to my lower face/jawline due to Sjogren's. My face is hanging a bit at the bottom. Would that be a potential solution for me?
I know it wouldn't give me better control. I am really talking about appearance.
Where are you located?
Can PDO be done on the bridge of the nose? I was in a motorcycle accident and it destroyed my cartilage which left me with a big nice hump looks like a witches nose. So therefore every year and a half I need to get filler to fill the gap…the doctor suggested PDO..? If not any suggestions on what type of filler is safe enough that will help restore the cartilage for longer period of time?
Best to get an experienced revision rhino surgeon who uses cartilage and fascia. I had filler in my nose for years. Finally got it fixed. Not cheap, but long lasting result 8 years later nobody can tell I had a collapse V deformity in my bridge.
@@kd2533 When you were getting filler in your nose did you experience it swelling and looking bigger from all the filler? I feel like my nose has definitely got bigger in size. What filler did you use?
And what is long lasting 8 years later? How long does a revision rhinoplasty suppose to last?? I would love to get a rhinoplasty and be done with the fillers. I wonder if insurance will cover any of it being that I do sniff a million times a day, snore super loud and get stuffy nose for no reason.
Are at home dermapen help in small rolling scars less than 1 mm Scars?
Have you checked out his videos on microneedling? He probably answers that in one of those.
You say pdo doesn’t replace fillers... but doesn’t pdo such as a tornado thread do just that?..... 🤔 because I think it does 😁 ~devil’s advocate 😉😘
