PDO Threads
Sagging skin can be one of the most challenging signs of aging to address, impacting your confidence and overall appearance. If you are seeking a non-surgical solution to lift and rejuvenate your skin, PDO Threads might be the answer you’ve been looking for.
This innovative treatment can provide a natural lift and stimulate collagen production, giving you a more youthful look without the need for invasive surgery.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are a type of minimally invasive treatment used to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are made from a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical sutures for many years.
During the procedure, PDO Threads are carefully inserted into the skin using fine needles. Once in place, the threads create a subtle lift in the skin while also stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen.
Over time, the threads dissolve, but the collagen they stimulate continues to improve skin texture and firmness, resulting in long-lasting benefits.
Advantages of PDO Threads
PDO Threads offer numerous benefits that make them a popular choice for those looking to enhance their appearance without surgery. Here’s why PDO Threads stand out:
- Immediate Results with Continued Improvement. One of the key advantages of PDO Threads is the immediate lift they provide. As the threads are placed, they instantly lift and tighten the skin. Additionally, the procedure stimulates collagen production, leading to continued improvement in skin texture and firmness over the following months.
- Minimally Invasive. PDO Threads offer a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelifts. The procedure involves minimal downtime and discomfort, making it an attractive option for those seeking significant results without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
- Natural-Looking Enhancement. The results of PDO Threads are subtle and natural-looking. The threads work with your body's natural processes to lift and rejuvenate the skin, ensuring you look refreshed rather than overdone.
- Versatile Treatment. PDO Threads can be used in various areas of the face and body, including the cheeks, jawline, neck, and even the arms and thighs. This versatility allows for targeted treatments that address specific areas of concern.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a PDO Threads treatment session, our provider will begin by discussing your goals and assessing your skin. The treatment area will be cleansed, and a local anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort.
Using a fine needle, the PDO Threads are carefully inserted into the skin at strategic points to create the desired lift. The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, often described as a slight pinching or pulling sensation. After the procedure, you can resume your normal activities with minimal downtime.
Aftercare Tips
To maximize the benefits of your PDO Threads treatment and guarantee optimal results, follow these aftercare tips:
- Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours after the procedure. This helps prevent the threads from shifting and ensures they stay in place to provide the desired lift.
- Drinking plenty of water supports overall skin health and aids in the healing process. Proper hydration can enhance the effects of the treatment by promoting skin elasticity and firmness.
- Protect your skin from direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least a week. Sun protection is important to prevent any potential skin damage and ensure your skin heals properly.
- For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid vigorous exercise and activities that might cause excessive sweating. This reduces the risk of swelling and bruising.
- Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by our provider. They know best how to care for your skin post-treatment and ensure you achieve the best results.
