PDO Threads Q&A

What are PDO threads?

PDO threads are biodegradable sutures made from polydioxanone, a material commonly used in medical procedures. Inserting these threads beneath your skin can instantly lift and tighten sagging facial tissues, similar to a facelift. Once inserted, PDO threads stimulate collagen production, leading to gradual skin rejuvenation and improved elasticity over time.

How do PDO threads work?

PDO threads physically lift and support sagging or loose skin. Inserted beneath the skin using a needle or cannula, these dissolvable threads create a supportive structure that provides immediate lift to targeted areas like the cheeks, jawline, or neck. 

Over time, PDO threads stimulate collagen production, which further enhances skin firmness and elasticity, resulting in a tighter and more youthful appearance. As the threads gradually dissolve, the collagen remains, providing long-lasting improvement in skin tightness.

What are the benefits of PDO threads?

PDO threads offer many benefits for enhancing your facial appearance and addressing signs of aging, including:

  • Nonsurgical facelift
  • Lifting sagging skin
  • Results lasting 18+ months
  • Firmer skin
  • Smoother skin texture
  • Minimal downtime
  • Customizable treatment
  • Collagen stimulation

If you have early signs of aging and aren’t ready for a surgical facelift, PDO threads can be an excellent alternative to achieve a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

What can I expect from PDO threads?

When you arrive for PDO threads, the team cleanses your skin and applies a numbing anesthetic. Next, the team strategically inserts the PDO threads into specific areas of your face using fine needles or cannulas. 

You may feel some slight pressure or discomfort during the thread-insertion process, but the numbing cream helps minimize any discomfort. Once the threads are in place, the team gently massages the treatment area to ensure proper placement and optimal results. 

After the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. You should notice gradual improvements over the coming weeks and months. 

How long do PDO threads last?

PDO threads typically dissolve after 6-9 months, but the collagen they produce lasts for several months longer.
