Generally, this is not painful, but that is a highly variable answer because some patients are more sensitive than others. Patients who are anxious can receive oral sedation. Local anesthetics are required and can be painful during the infiltration process. Over time threads can migrate and the barbs can irritate nerves thereby making them painful at a much later date.
There is minor discomfort during the procedure but a local anesthetic will be applied to the area where you will be treated to minimize the amount of pain. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
A thread performed with PDO Threads is typically no more painful than injectables treatments with dermal fillers. Before each procedure, I typically apply a combination of topical and injectable numbing agents to help reduce pain and maximize patient comfort.
PDO thread lift is minimally invasive lunchtime procedure! PDO thread lift has controlled healing benefits and you have very little amount of bruising or absolutely 0 bruising!

I hope this helps you on your journey!:)

Your description of a localized contour change in the cheekbone area several years after a PDO thread lift is something I have not see before after placing more than 4000 threads. Without examining you in person or knowing the exact thread depth and vector placement, it is difficult to determine...
At 32 years of age, my general recommendation would focus on structural balance and minimally invasive options, rather than surgical procedures. First, I would evaluate for volume loss in the preauricular area (the region just in front of the ear) and in the temples. These areas often lose...
It is not difficult to just tweek the thread or trim it so it doesn't poke the skin. It can be done quickly and almost painlessly.
I am very sorry that you had this experience and that it ruined a friendship. I have seen this happen once before in my clinical practice. It was like the thread balled up in the tissue. The technique was correct, there was no reason why the thread should have done that. You can try really...
I stopped performing threadlifts quite a few years ago, following reports of an unusually high rate of adverse events related to their use, such as infection, scarring, "spitting out" of the threads, and unwanted dents and dimples, as in your case here. Regarding the lack of success with...
