PDO threads

PDO threads are a non surgical treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. These threads are inserted into the skin to stimulate collagen production and gently lift the skin for a smoother, firmer look. The procedure is minimally invasive with little downtime, making it a popular option for those looking for subtle, natural looking results without the need for surgery.

PDO threads are made of a biocompatible material, polydioxanone, which is commonly used in medical sutures. Once inserted under the skin, the threads create a structural network that not only provides immediate lifting but also promotes long-term rejuvenation as they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This collagen boost gradually improves skin elasticity and texture, enhancing the overall firmness and tone of the treated area over time. The threads dissolve naturally within several months, leaving behind firmer, more youthful skin that can last for up to a year or longer, depending on individual factors and treatment areas.

One of the key benefits of PDO thread lifting is its versatility. It can be used on various areas of the face and body, such as the cheeks, jawline, neck, and even areas like the knees or abdomen. The treatment can address a range of concerns, from mild to moderate sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles, offering an effective solution for those who are not ready or do not want to undergo more invasive procedures like facelifts. Additionally, PDO thread lifting has minimal side effects and risks compared to traditional surgeries, making it an attractive choice for individuals seeking an effective but low-risk procedure to enhance their appearance. The treatment is often favored for its natural results, as it subtly restores volume and tightness without the “overdone” look that can sometimes occur with more invasive techniques.

Down Time

Downtime is minimal, typically 1-3 days. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days. Normal activities can resume soon after, with strenuous activity avoided for 1-2 weeks.

Treatment Time

PDO thread lifting takes 30-60 minutes. The procedure is minimally invasive, with threads inserted via fine needles. Immediate lifting effects appear, and collagen stimulation continues to improve skin over time.

Pain

Pain is mild due to local numbing. Patients may feel slight pulling or pressure, but discomfort is minimal. Post-treatment soreness typically lasts a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Safe

Very safe when performed by a trained professional. Risks are minimal but may include bruising, asymmetry, or infection. Following aftercare reduces complications.
