Are you concerned about your fine lines and wrinkles on your face? PDO thread lifts are a great way to improve your appearance without facelift surgery. This revolutionary procedure has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason.
Smooth threads are thin threads that are inserted into the skin and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a gradual lifting and tightening effect. These threads are ideal for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and mild sagging. When smooth threads are placed with a PDO thread lift, exceptional results are seen!
PDO Thread Lifts are an advanced, minimally-invasive treatment option for areas on the face that have lost elasticity and volume due to aging. This innovative treatment uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads, absorbable sutures typically used in surgical procedures. PDO Threads are inserted into the skin, providing immediate volume and lift and stimulating collagen production for long-term skin tightening in the targeted area. Thread lifts are commonly used with other anti-aging procedures such as dermal fillers, and botox.
PDO Threads provide several benefits, including:
The most common side effects of PDO Threads include the following:
Three main types of PDO threads are used, including smooth threads, barbed threads, and mesh threads.Â
Smooth threads are the most common type of PDO thread used. They are made from a single strand of absorbable suture material and can lift sagging skin in areas such as the cheeks and jawline.
Barbed threads are composed of multiple barbs along the length of the thread. These barbs help to provide more lift and tightening in the treatment area, making them ideal for areas with severe sagging or elasticity loss.
Mesh threads are made from multiple strands of PDO suture material twisted together. This creates a helical structure that provides extra lift and tightening in the treatment area.
After the treatment, following your physician’s instructions for post-treatment care is important. This will help ensure you get the best results from your PDO Threads treatment. Generally, this includes avoiding strenuous activity and exposure to direct sunlight for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
The best type of PDO Threads for you will depend on your desired results, the treatment area, and your physician’s recommendation. Your physician can help you decide which type of thread will be most beneficial to achieve your aesthetic goals.
PDO Thread treatment can generally have long-lasting results of one to two years. However, this will depend on your individual skin laxity and lifestyle habits.
PDO Threads are considered a safe and effective treatment option, with minimal risk for side effects or complications. However, informing your physician if you have any allergies or medical conditions before the procedure is important.
Most patients report only mild discomfort in the area of the face receiving treatment during the procedure. Your physician will apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to help minimize any discomfort.
PDO Threads can be a great solution for those looking to reduce signs of aging and improve the appearance of their skin without surgery. However, speaking with your physician before making any decisions about your treatment is important. They will be able to assess your individual needs and goals and recommend the best course of action.
