Lin said: 'I’ve still got those 25 chins and peephole hooded eyes – and I’m over four thousand pounds worse off. Lin, concerned by the advice, managed to reach the doctor by email – who told her to leave the threads alone and that she would see her upon her return in late January. Dr Mercik was on holiday and she says she was advised ‘to cut the sharp thread poking out of my face with nail scissors. Yet early January Lin contacted Aesthetics Lab because she could feel the threads coming out of her face.
PDO THREADS NECK BEFORE AND AFTER SKIN
‘I was concerned about the sharp threads that I could still feel penetrating my skin and the complete lack of any improvement to my face since the procedure.’Īt this meeting, Lin was told she would see drastic improvements within the next two months which would take her up to the three-month follow-up - when the results would be at their very best. Lin says she was even offered a complimentary course of UV treatment to help the healing process and the excessive bruising.Ī month after treatment, at the beginning of December, Lin had another appointment with the doctor. ‘My face was still heavily bruised and swollen up to ten days after the procedure but the lumps were still visible for a month later.’

Lin chose to have the procedure because she hated her jowls (pictured before, left) but after (right) she was more unhappy as her face was bruised and threads began to poke out of her skin There was no way I could go to work the following day. ‘I expected to see immediate results as explained by Dr Mercik when she showed me the before and after pictures during our first consultation. But not only did she leave with her face and neck black and blue, she was emotionally shaken too. Over 150 threads were inserted into Lin’s face. She remembers leaving ‘confident and assured by the consultant,' and booked in for the treatment for the following week. Lin was told the procedures would cost £4,250 in total and that she would need to make an immediate deposit of £1,402.50 - one third of the price. She was also reassured that there would be no problem going into work the following day and that the bruising would be gone after five days. 'The threads naturally dissolve after six to eight months but the effects of the lift last up to three years.’Īt the initial meeting, Lin recalls being shown numerous before and after pictures. ‘The threads encourage collagen re-growth and rejuvenation to create new structures under the skin. On her YouTube page, Dr Mercik claims: ‘This new approach to looking younger involves no knives, no surgery and requires minimal downtime.’ On the videos the doctor emphasised the immediate results, lifting of skin and little after effects including bruising.
