Are Nose Threads Safe? What You Need to Know

If you’re considering a non-surgical nose enhancement, nose thread lifts—especially with PDO threads—are a popular option. But are they safe? Here’s what you should know:

Why Nose Threads Are Generally Considered Safe:

• Minimally Invasive: Involves tiny insertions, not large incisions.
• Biodegradable Threads: PDO (polydioxanone) threads are safe and dissolve naturally in the body.
• Low Vascular Risk: Unlike dermal fillers, threads don’t carry a high risk of blocking blood vessels.
• Boosts Collagen: Stimulates collagen production for improved skin quality and longer-lasting lift.

How Long Does a Nose Thread Lift Last?

While the threads dissolve within 6 to 12 months, the lifting effect can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, thanks to ongoing collagen stimulation. However, the longevity depends on several individual factors:

• Age: Younger patients may enjoy longer-lasting results.
• Skin Condition: Healthy skin and collagen levels help maintain the results.
• Type of Threads: Advanced threads like PLLA or PCA may last longer than PDO.
• Metabolism: Faster metabolism may break down threads more quickly.

Final Thoughts:

Nose thread lifts are safe when performed by licensed and experienced medical professionals. They offer a natural, subtle enhancement without surgery, making them a popular alternative to fillers.
