There’s nothing that we can do to stop the aging process. Unfortunately, as time goes on, our body can show the wear and tear of the years we have lived.
Sometimes, we develop wrinkles on our body. It’s also possible that we may experience “drooping” of the skin in certain areas of the body.
When the aging process begins to show on our neck and face, it can be very noticeable — and it may not be something we really want to live with.
Fortunately, there are many non-invasive procedures we can turn to today to help correct these problem areas that we might not be happy with. One of the most popular options is PDO threads — a surgical suture that is inserted under the skin and that the body breaks down naturally over time.
Today, a great application of PDO threads is for a procedure called a Necklace Line Treatment. This procedure works to smooth out wrinkles that may have developed on your neck, giving you an overall more youthful look.
Below, we’ll explain in more detail what a Necklace Line Treatment with PDO threads is, and what the before and after results really are.
What Are Necklace Lines?
Horizontal lines that you see on your neck are referred to as necklace lines. They got this name because they appear to be rings and cover up your neck, making it look as if you’re wearing a necklace.
Unfortunately, it’s not beautiful jewelry that you’re wearing, but rather an effect of the aging process. They can appear because of a decrease in the production of both elastin and collagen in your skin.
In addition to aging, necklace lines can be caused by weight gain, smoking, sun damage and a fluctuation in hormones. It’s also possible that necklace lines may be genetic, and wrinkling can also be caused over time by bending your neck down to read.
What is a Necklace Line Treatment?
Not surprisingly, a Necklace Line Treatment is a procedure that’s meant to address necklace lines. The ultimate goal is to smooth out the skin so that the necklace lines are no longer visible, or at least aren’t as visible as they once were.
There are a few different ways that you can do this non-surgically. One option is an injectable filler such as Botox. This will help to remove the wrinkles on your neck temporarily, just as it does for other parts of the body such as the forehead.
In essence, Botox will paralyze your muscles temporarily, which will make it appear more youthful and smoother.
A major downside of Botox and other injectable fillers, though, is that the results are very temporary. They may last for only about six months in some people, though how long they really last depends on the patient being treated.
While Botox procedures can be repeated, it has to be done over and over again to achieve your desired look.
Necklace Line Treatment with PDO Threads — Before and After
Another option — and perhaps the best one — is to use PDO threads for a Necklace Line Treatment.
PDO threads are thin surgical sutures that are inserted underneath your skin. There are different types of PDO threads that are used for different applications, including barbed ones that can work to “lift” your skin up, with results being akin to a traditional facelift.
For Necklace Line Treatments, skilled practitioners will use PDO threads that don’t have barbs. The best on the market are the VSoft Lift Smooth PDO Threads.
What these smooth PDO threads do is help to smooth out the skin. While this may sound similar to what Botox does, it’s very different in many ways.
First, PDO threads help to stimulate the production of collagen in the body. That’s because when they are inserted, the body will recognize them as a foreign object and work to break them down by increasing collagen production.
PDO threads are completely biodegradable and biocompatible, meaning that your body will break them down naturally over time, and it’s highly unlikely that they will be rejected.
The extra collagen serves two purposes here. First, it instantly smooths out the necklace lines that you have. This is the immediate result that people will see not long after the procedure is complete.
Second, the extra collagen will actually help to ensure that the results of the procedure will last much longer than other options for a Necklace Line Treatment. In fact, the results can last up to as many as three years in some cases.
The results will vary from patient to patient, of course, but there’s no denying the long-lasting positive effects that PDO threads can have on necklace lines.
Not long after the procedure is over, your necklace lines will appear as if they were never there before. They will be faint, at the very least, and appear to completely disappear in the best-case scenario. This is why they are the preferred option for a Necklace Line Treatment.
