Forehead tissue can be lifted and contoured to raise the brow region, widening the gap between the eye and the brows. This can improve the appearance of hooded eyes and can be modified to give patients the ‘fox eye’ look if desired.

Cogs can be used to lift and tighten the skin that hangs around the jawline causing jowls and creases around the mouth and cheek. This has the additional effect of reducing the appearance of any deep lines formed in these areas.

When utilised around the cheek area, they can contour the cheekbone giving the face a more defined look. A thread lift in the cheek area can improve smile lines and wrinkles around the mouth area too.

Cog threads offer a non-surgical way to help eliminate gravitational age-related concerns for under the neck such as sagging neck skin and an undefined jawline.

PDO Cog threads are very popular with both male and female patients. If you’re in search of a treatment that can gently and effectively improve the appearance of your skin, we recommend Cog thread lifts. They can also be used in conjunction with mono threads to address selected facial areas.

At your consultation, the nurse will assess your suitability for a Cog Thread Lift. You will discuss your medical history and what your areas of concern are that you would like treated. Your nurse will want to be sure that a PDO Cog Thread Lift is the right choice for you. There are also other important considerations when considering a Cog Thread Lift such as planning the timing of the treatment to allow adequate space in your work and social calendar to accommodate the downtime associated with the treatment and some pre-care instructions to ensure the treatment runs smoothly.

Cog PDO threads are a treatment that is performed with the use of some local anaesthetic as the threads are placed deeper than mono PDO threads, where only topical numbing cream is normally used. This means most patients experience minimal discomfort or pain.

The nurse will insert the threads using a cannula and some light massaging to ensure the threads have engaged in the target areas. Once the threads are placed correctly, they are then pulled tight to create the desired mechanical lift and secured.

Some slight swelling, bruising and pain post-procedure is normal as the area around the threads heals. Swelling and bruising typically resolves in 2 to 3 days. Some bruising, tenderness or soreness will persist for approximately one week. There are some specific post-care instructions that the Nurse will provide you to help speed the recovery and maximise the results from the procedure. If there are any questions about what you can or can’t do in the days following treatment, get in contact with us for more information.

PDO (polydioxanone) Cog threads are thicker than mono threads and feature fine barbs that hook into the muscle providing lift and support for sagging tissue. This process allows them to have an increased level of function and results when compared to their mono variants.

Cog PDO Threads differ from Mono (smooth) PDO threads because they provide a mechanical lift but as it naturally dissolves, collagen production is promoted in the area, thus encouraging the body’s natural skin tightening mechanics to take action.

Mono PDO threads work for all age groups and are popular with both men and women. If you are looking for a low-impact, gentle technique to improve the appearance of your skin – or you’re worried about premature skin aging, we recommend you consider Mono PDO threads, which offer the following benefits:

Mono PDO threads are suitable for most patients. This treatment can either be used as a preventative and enhancing treatment in younger patients to prevent sagging or enhance naturally occurring volume or for patients who are experiencing uneven skin tone, moderate sagging or a loss of volume under the skin.

After a skin consultation numbing cream is applied which takes 40 minutes for full effect. While this is processing a relaxation massage that focuses on the head, neck and scalp helps to release stress and tension creating a sense of peace and well-being. As an option a shamanic energy clearing is offered which can help to unblock trapped emotions in different areas of the body.

Fine needles containing threads are inserted into the skin. The fine needles are then removed leaving the fine thread underneath the skin. The mono threads stimulate an increase in collagen production which takes approximately 12 weeks to occur.
