PDO threads

a PDO thread lift is an innovative, cosmetic procedure that offers both instant and progressive results to correct common, age-related facial concerns.

Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are designed to lift and tighten areas of the face that have lost elasticity and volume.

Polydioxanone threads work much like dissolvable sutures. After being placed, they are eventually absorbed deep beneath the dermal layers of the skin.

During a PDO thread lift procedure, a tiny needle is used to strategically insert the fine PDO thread into the sub-dermal skin layers, then pulls it to lift tissue and tighten skin.

This process is repeated as needed for your desired results, with two or three threads typically used for each treatment area.

However, there is more to a PDO thread lift than these initial subtle lifting and tightening benefits. The placement of these threads also causes intentional micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the rapid and prolific production of collagen and elastin.

While PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive, the procedure creates tiny skin injuries, so a local anesthetic is administered before treatment to ensure comfort.

A PDO thread lift provides subtle improvements that are noticeable immediately, but most of the benefits are progressive, meaning they improve over time. After the threads are placed, and your natural collagen production increases enough in the treated areas, you will start seeing additional improvement.

Your face should look more firm, plump, smooth, and younger-looking within six months after treatment, with results lasting between two and three years.
