A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using biodegradable Polydioxanone (PDO) threads. These threads are strategically inserted into the skin to provide immediate support and stimulate collagen production over time. Ideal for treating facial sagging, wrinkles, and skin laxity, PDO thread lifts offer a natural, rejuvenated appearance without surgery. The procedure is quick and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking subtle yet significant rejuvenation.
Schedule a consultation in to discover how a PDO thread lift can address your concerns and enhance your appearance.
The procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of threads used and the areas being treated. This makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules, as it can often be completed during a lunch break.
While discomfort levels vary from person to person, most patients report minimal pain during a PDO thread lift. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, ensuring you remain comfortable. You might experience some mild swelling or bruising afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The results of a PDO thread lift can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. The longevity of the results depends on several factors, including your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. The threads themselves are absorbed by the body within six months, but the collagen production they stimulate can maintain the lifting effect for much longer.
PDO thread lift works by inserting biodegradable Polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the subdermal layer of the skin using fine needles. These threads act as a scaffold, lifting and supporting sagging tissues.
The body gradually absorbs the threads over six months, stimulating fibroblast cells to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, essential components for skin elasticity and firmness. This collagen synthesis continues even after the threads dissolve, resulting in a natural lifting effect and improved skin texture.
