XYTIDE i-THREAD BIOSTIMULATORS
Xytide i-threads improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by gradually stimulating collagen and elastin production within the skin over time.

BIOSTIMULATORS
Elastin and collagen fibres are the foundation of skin suppleness and strength. However, as we age, the production of these fibres diminishes, leading to changes in skin texture and firmness.
Xytide-i thread treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that can help you achieve a subtle lift, added volume and improved skin texture achieving a more rejuvenated and refreshed look.
Xytide i-thread types
PDO threads are available in a range of varieties that each achieve a different outcome and are chosen depending on the patient’s indications and their overall treatment goal.
i-Thread Collagen
Collagen threads are small, dissolvable sutures that work to strengthen and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production. Placed superficially underneath the skin they result in a natural skin quality and tightening improvement.
i-Thread Lift
Lifting threads are intended to lift subcuticular fat and tissue similar to that of a facelift. The I-Thread lift will improve skin laxity, lift sagging skin, increase collagen and improve facial contours and definition.
i-Thread Fill
An alternative to dermal filler, these threads are designed to provide volume and projection without physically lifting the tissue. An option to consider for less swelling, a natural result with lower risks than other procedures.

Polydioxane (PDO) Threads are a cosmetic treatment that uses fine, absorbable threads made of a flexible synthetic material. These threads are strategically placed beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and provide a subtle lift to sagging tissues.
Over time, the threads are naturally absorbed by the body, leaving behind a firmer, more
youthful contour.

Natural outcomes
Treatment results are seen in 8-12 weeks and last up to 12 months. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen and elastin production to achieve an anti-aging effect.
Areas that can be treated include the forehead, eyebrows, brow lift, tear trough under-eye area, upper and lower cheeks, nasolabial folds, perioral lines, smoker’s lines, jowls, marionette lines, jawline, neck, decolletage, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and legs.
Thread lifts are low risk, due to how non-invasive they are, and most side effects associated with threads are self- resolving. Thread sutures have been used in orthopaedic and cardiovascular surgeries for decades.
