PDO Threads

Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are absorbable medical grade threads that are thinner than human hair and are used to tighten and lift drooping skin. Small needles or cannulas are used to implant these threads beneath the skin. After the threads are placed, the skin immediately appears younger, fuller, and elevated.

Your individual skin type, skin texture, and cosmetic objectives will be taken into consideration before your PDO thread lift is performed. It’s possible that you’ll get three or four precisely positioned barbed threads, but it all depends on the area you want treated. In order to achieve variable degrees of lift, skin tightness, and cellular renewal, different threads are utilized.

One of the many advantages of this treatment is that it may be completed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. After that, you are free to resume working or engaging in whatever other activities you had planned for the remainder of the day.

Before beginning treatment, we will numb the treatment area with a topical numbing agent and then administer a local anesthetic to the area. The needle that will be used for the treatment is extremely fine, therefore it will not result in any discomfort.

Following the start of the anesthetic’s effects, the next step in the treatment will be carried out. Needles with sharp tips or cannulas with blunt tips are used to implant the PDO threads. Cannulas are the blunt-tipped needles. They serve as anchors once they have been put into the proper layer of skin, and this allows the skin to be pulled upwards. Any extra threads are then removed by cutting them.

This procedure has no health risks in any kind. The FDA has validated its effectiveness and declared it safe. In addition, there have been hundreds of thousands of treatments carried out, and no adverse reactions, sensitivities to the threads, or major side effects or hazards have been reported.

This treatment does not need a significant amount of unusual aftercare. However, you shouldn’t get any dental work done for at least two weeks after your PDO thread lift because the stitches will still be in place. It’s possible that the outcome of your treatment could be impacted if you keep your mouth open for an unusually long duration. In addition to this, it is recommended that you sleep on your back for the first two weeks.. This prevents you from placing an excessive amount of pressure on one side of your face.

After one to two months, you will experience the full effects of your PDO thread lift. Your age has a significant role in determining how long it takes you. The rate at which your body generates fresh, healthy collagen depends in a significant way on your age. Collagen is the protein responsible for enhancing your cheek fullness, masking wrinkles, and filling in fine lines.

The thickness and quality of the PDO threads, as well as your own metabolism, all play a role in how long they will last. However, after six to nine months, most clients report that the threads are no longer visible.

Almost every part of the face can be improved with a PDO thread lift. The neck, crows feet, cheeks, jaw, marionette lines, and other wrinkles on the face. Most patients want to have work done on their cheeks and lower face/neck area.

A PDO lift can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose while also lifting the eyebrows, cheeks, and jawline.

Your desired outcomes will determine which supplementary treatments will work best with your PDO thread lift. Neuromodulators are the most effective treatment for frown lines and creases caused by frequent frowning. Dermal fillers are a great addition to a PDO thread lift if you are primarily concerned about static lines and wrinkles.
