What is Cog Thread?
Cog thread treatment,” often referred to as “thread lifting” or “PDO thread lift,” is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, providing a more youthful appearance. Here is a detailed description of the cog thread treatment:
Procedure Overview:
Cog thread treatment involves the use of specialized threads, typically made of Polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible and absorbable material commonly used in medical sutures. These threads have tiny barbs or cogs along their length, which grasp onto the skin tissue, creating a lifting effect.
Recovery and Results:
- Cog thread treatment is minimally invasive, and most patients can resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
- Some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort may occur, but these side effects are typically temporary.
- Results become more apparent as the skin heals and collagen production increases, with optimal outcomes visible within a few weeks to months.
