Balance Lift

Biostimulation and tissue support with absorbable PDO (polydioxanone) threads, for a natural and gradual lifting effect.

Balance Lift is an innovative outpatient treatment with a twofold action: skin biostimulation and support of the tissues, through a clever and simple system. Balance Lift makes use of the properties of PDO (polydioxanone) thread, a medical device already used in cardiovascular surgery, to stimulate collagen production and, at the same time, to create support for the tissue that gives a "lifting" effect. The thread is introduced through fine needles that contain the thread itself. A simple mechanical system allows the needle, once it has entered the skin, to deposit the thread inside the tissue.

The thread used (PDO) is of the absorbable type; the effectiveness of the treatment is clearly visible 2-3 weeks after implantation; it is advisable to see the patient again after this period, so that other areas can be corrected if needed with new threads or with synergistic treatments (fillers, botulinum toxin, instrumental treatments). During this period the device does its work, producing a pleasing, completely natural and gradual result. The patient will see improvements "on her own skin" day by day, in terms of firmness and compactness. The average absorption time of the thread is about 6 months, but the results remain visible for longer, because the effect is linked not only to how long the thread stays in place but to the endogenous stimulation that the threads create. The synergistic use of Balance Lift also helps to give longer duration to aesthetic medicine treatments such as fillers or botulinum toxin.
