PDO THREADS

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a type of non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment used to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. They are made of biocompatible material and have been used in medicine for years, such as in surgery and sutures.

PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin's surface using a fine needle or cannula. They create a support structure that lifts and tightens sagging skin, while also stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results.

PDO threads can improve skin firmness and elasticity, reduce sagging, and enhance the overall texture and appearance of the skin. They are often used to address sagging jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other areas of concern.

Discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal, and many practitioners apply a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Patients may feel some pressure or minor sensations as the threads are inserted, but it's generally well-tolerated.

The duration of a PDO thread treatment can vary depending on the number of threads and the treatment area. Sessions can typically take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Some patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness immediately after the procedure. However, these side effects are usually temporary and can be concealed with makeup. Most people can return to their regular activities within a day or two.

PDO threads are generally safe when administered by qualified practitioners. Potential side effects include swelling, bruising, and the rare risk of infection or thread migration. Proper aftercare and adherence to post-treatment instructions are essential.

PDO thread results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on factors like the type of threads used and individual variations. Regular maintenance treatments may be recommended to prolong the effects.

Yes, PDO thread treatments can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers or Botox, to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan. Your provider can help customize your treatment approach based on your goals.
