PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a type of medical-grade thread used in thread lift procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. The threads are inserted into the deeper layers of the skin, and once introduced, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are the building blocks of youthful skin. This treatment is minimally invasive and offers a quick recovery time compared to traditional surgical facelifts
1. Non-Surgical Procedure:
One of the main benefits of a PDO thread lift is that it's a non-surgical procedure. This means there's less downtime and fewer risks compared to a traditional facelift.
2. Immediate Results:
You'll see some immediate results after the procedure, and these results will continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.
3. Natural Results:
A PDO thread lift offers subtle and natural-looking results. It doesn't radically change your appearance but rather enhances your natural beauty.
4. Collagen Stimulation:
PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen, which improves the texture, elasticity, and firmness of your skin.
The procedure involves the insertion of PDO threads under the skin using a fine needle.The threads are then pulled tight to lift and support droopy areas. This treatment is most commonly used on areas like the cheeks, jowls, eyebrows, and neck. The magic of PDO threads is that they are absorbable.Over a period of 4-6 months, your body safely absorbs them.However, the beneficial effects continue as the stimulated collagen and elastin provide a lasting lift and skin rejuvenation for up to 12-15mos
Anyone experiencing mild to moderate sagging of facial skin could be a good candidate for a PDO thread lift. It's also a great option for those who want to maintain a youthful appearance but aren't keen on undergoing invasive surgery. However, the best way to determine if you're a suitable candidate is to consult with a qualified and experienced practitioner.
