PDO Thread Lift: A Revolutionary Non-Surgical Facelift

How Does PDO Thread Lift Work?

PDO Threads are carefully inserted into the subdermal layer of the skin using fine, sterile needles. Once placed, the threads offer immediate support to sagging tissues, resulting in an instant lift and tightened appearance. This will further improve with time as new collagen begins to form where the threads have been inserted.

The threads stimulate the body's natural healing response, enhancing collagen production. This increased collagen improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness over time.

The threads dissolve naturally over 6-12 months, but the lifting and rejuvenating effects persist due to sustained collagen stimulation.

Key Benefits of PDO Thread Lift

Non-Surgical: Avoids the risks and downtime associated with traditional facelifts.
Quick Procedure: Treatment takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated area.
Immediate Results: Visible lifting effects right after the procedure, with continued improvements over months.
Natural-Looking: Enhances your natural features, providing a subtle yet effective lift.

Treatment Areas and Effects

PDO thread lifts are versatile and can be used to treat various areas of the face and body. For facial treatments, common areas include the cheeks, jawline, eyebrows, and neck, where the threads help lift and tighten sagging skin. On the body, PDO threading is effective on the abdomen, arms, and thighs, providing a non-surgical option for tightening and lifting loose skin in these areas.

It is important to note that threads' effect and final results are always much improved when skin strengthening treatments are done prior to thread insertion, as the more dense the collagen and elastin in the skin are prior to thread insertion, the better the final results.

Types of PDO Threads

Suspension Sutures: For lifting, tightening, and re-draping skin.
Barbed and Anchor Threads: Provide additional lifting and tightening.
Monofilaments: Strengthen and improve general skin condition.
