PDO Threads

What Are PDO Threads or Thread Lifts?
PDO Threads, or thread lifts, are an innovative, non-surgical procedure using absorbable sutures made of Polydioxanone (PDO). These threads are strategically placed in the subcutaneous tissue to lift and rejuvenate the skin. Depending on the type of suture used, barbed or smooth, results can vary. Barbed threads create an immediate lifting effect by supporting the skin, while smooth threads stimulate collagen production to enhance skin texture and firmness. The sutures dissolve naturally after approximately 6 months, but the boost in collagen ensures results can last for up to 12 months or more, with individual results varying.

Types of PDO Threads
Barbed PDO Threads: These threads are equipped with tiny barbs that grip the skin tissue, providing a lifted appearance by pulling and securing the skin.

Smooth PDO Threads: These threads do not lift but instead stimulate collagen production, making them ideal for treating fine lines and improving overall skin texture.

Where Can PDO Threads Be Used?
PDO threads are versatile and can be placed in various areas to achieve a subtle lift and collagen boost. Common treatment areas include:

• Face (cheeks, jowls, and jawline)
• Neck
• Abdomen
• Buttocks

Threads can be applied to almost any area that would benefit from enhanced skin tightness and rejuvenation.

What to Expect from a PDO Thread Lift
Results are noticeable immediately after the procedure, with a subtle lifting effect. Over the following weeks, the skin will continue to improve as collagen production is stimulated, enhancing the overall look and feel of the treated area.

Ideal Candidates for PDO Threads
PDO threads are best suited for individuals with mild skin laxity, typically those aged 30-60, who seek rejuvenation without undergoing a traditional facelift or the downtime it entails.

What to Expect Post-Treatment
Following the procedure, most patients can return home shortly after. Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relief such as Tylenol. Full recovery is swift, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a refreshed, lifted appearance with minimal interruption to your daily routine.
