PDO Threads are minimally invasive, dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to provide an immediate lifting and contouring effect while also stimulating natural collagen production over time. As the threads gradually dissolve, they help improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall support for a smoother, more lifted appearance without surgery.
What areas can PDO Threads be used for?
PDO Threads can be used to lift and tighten multiple areas of the face and neck, including the cheeks, jawline, jowls, midface, brows, and neck. They can also be used to improve mild to moderate skin laxity and enhance overall facial contour.
How long does the procedure take?
Treatment typically takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the complexity of the procedure.
Is there downtime?
Patients may experience swelling, bruising, tenderness, or mild dimpling in the treated areas for several days following treatment. Most side effects improve as the threads settle and healing progresses.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice an immediate lifting effect following treatment. Results continue to improve over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases and the skin responds to the treatment.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, the type of threads used, and individual factors such as age, skin quality, and lifestyle.
Why do patients choose PDO Threads?
PDO Threads are a popular option for patients looking to address skin laxity and early signs of aging without surgery. They offer a minimally invasive approach to lifting and rejuvenation with little downtime and the added benefit of collagen stimulation. Many patients choose PDO Threads as part of a long-term maintenance strategy to help support skin structure and maintain a refreshed, natural appearance.
Why Do Patients Choose PDO Threads Instead of Surgery?
Many patients are looking for noticeable lifting and rejuvenation but aren’t ready for a surgical facelift. PDO Threads offer a minimally invasive option that can improve facial contours, support collagen production, and address mild to moderate skin laxity without surgery.
Compared to a traditional facelift, PDO Threads typically involve a lower upfront investment, minimal downtime, and no general anesthesia. Treatments can be repeated as needed to help maintain results over time.
While PDO Threads do not replace the results of a surgical facelift, they can be an excellent option for patients seeking a more conservative approach to facial rejuvenation or for those looking to delay surgery while still addressing early signs of aging.
