Aging is a natural part of life and it often comes with perks such as embracing who we really are and not being afraid of asking for what we want and deserve. However, aging also comes with fine lines, skin laxity, and wrinkles. While there is nothing wrong with aging, its telltale signs can be postponed. Especially when so many outstanding cosmetic treatments are easily available to anyone looking to combat loose skin and rejuvenate their appearance. And PDO thread lifts are an ideal solution for these problems!

What is a PDO thread lift?

PDO thread lift procedures are an innovative alternative to a surgical facelift. The treatment promises younger-looking skin, a boost of collagen production, and long-lasting effects. A PDO thread lift is a cosmetic procedure that relies on polydioxanone threads to tighten, sculpt and lift the skin on your face or body. With the use of temporary sutures, the skin, the skin care professional manages to visibly lift the skin without the need to surgically remove any part of the loose or excess skin. Furthermore, thread lifts encourage the body to increase its collagen production and direct it towards the areas exposed to the treatment as part of its healing response. This leads to a gradual improvement of the skin’s tone and firmness and a more youthful appearance.

What to expect during the procedure?

Unlike the traditional facelift associated with a long recovery time, PDO thread lifts are non-invasive procedures with a lower risk of complications. The procedure is performed in the comfort of the doctor’s office. It involves injecting biodegradable threads beneath the skin with the help of a hypodermic needle. The threads come in different textures – smooth, twisted, and barbed, and your doctor chooses the best type for you considering your needs. The injected threads will anchor in the skin and lift it creating a tighter contour in the treated area. PDO threads can be used to achieve a younger-looking appearance for your forehead, undereye area, crow’s feet, cheeks, jawline, jowls, neck, and eyebrows, but they have also proved to work for breasts, especially after weight loss.

What to expect after the procedure?

The procedure lasts from 15 to 30 minutes and requires minimal recovery time. No severe side effects have been associated with PDO thread lift procedures. Immediately after the treatment, you may notice some bruising around the injected area. Swelling and soreness may be expected for the first three to five days post-procedure. Use ice to reduce the swelling and acetaminophen to manage any discomfort. Depending on the treated area, your doctor may recommend you to avoid any strenuous activity that can place stress on the injected area. The polydioxanone dissolvable threads will be broken down naturally by your body.

How long do the results last?

The first results will be visible immediately. Your body will break down the PDO threads in four to six months. However, because the dissolvable sutures trigger the production of collagen, you will continue to notice the improvements even a few months after the threads have been reabsorbed. PDO threads are not permanent threads which means PDO thread lift patients will have to schedule repeat visits every six to nine months if they want to enjoy their youthful appearance longer. Thread lifts are recommended for people with wrinkles or loose facial skin, in good physical shape, who want to avoid surgical procedures and enjoy lifted, tightened, and volumized skin. For more volume and visible rejuvenation, the procedure can be combined with Botox and dermal fillers.
