Achieve a lifted, youthful appearance with PDO thread lift, a minimally invasive treatment that combats sagging skin, reduces fine lines, and enhances facial contours. This procedure stimulates collagen production to address concerns like loose skin, jowls, and nasolabial folds, offering facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Overview
PDO thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using absorbable threads. During the treatment, fine threads are inserted into the skin, creating a scaffolding effect that supports and lifts the tissue. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness. This procedure is effective for treating areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck, improving skin laxity, reducing fine lines, and providing a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal recovery time.
Concerns Treated:
- Sagging skin along the jawline
- Loose skin around the cheeks
- Fine lines and wrinkles on the face
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Decreased skin elasticity and firmness
- Hollow or sunken areas in the face
- Uneven skin texture and contour
- Drooping eyebrows or eyelids
- Creases and folds in the neck
How It Works
PDO thread lift utilizes biocompatible polydioxanone (PDO) threads to achieve a lifting effect on the skin. During the procedure, PDO threads are strategically inserted into the subcutaneous tissue using a fine needle. These threads create a supportive framework that lifts and tightens the skin. As the threads dissolve over several months, they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness. This process gradually restores a youthful appearance while the threads are absorbed, leading to long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Benefits:
- Minimally invasive procedure with no need for general anesthesia
- Provides immediate lifting and tightening effects
- Stimulates natural collagen production for long-lasting results
- Minimal downtime and quick recovery
- Suitable for various facial areas, including the cheeks, jawline, and neck
- Safe with a low risk of complications
- Results improve gradually, offering a natural look
Your Experience
Treatment
During your PDO thread lift treatment, you’ll first receive a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Your provider will then insert fine, absorbable PDO threads into the deeper layers of your skin using a thin needle. The threads are carefully positioned to create a lifting effect and provide structural support. The procedure typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Throughout the session, you may feel slight pressure or discomfort, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
Recovery
After a PDO thread lift, you might experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated areas, which resolves within a few days. There is no significant downtime, so you can resume your normal activities almost immediately. To ensure optimal healing, avoid vigorous exercise and heavy facial treatments for the first week. Follow your provider’s aftercare guidelines, which may include gentle skincare and avoiding direct sun exposure. If you experience unusual symptoms or prolonged discomfort, contact your provider for further guidance.
Results
You may begin to notice initial lifting effects right after your PDO thread lift, with optimal results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides and collagen production increases over the following weeks. The results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors like age and skin condition. To maintain your youthful appearance, you might consider touch-ups or additional sessions, generally recommended every 12 to 18 months. Your provider can help you determine the best plan based on your goals and skin response.
