If you’re looking for a minimally invasive way to lift and tighten sagging skin, PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifts may be the solution you need. These threads are inserted under the deeper layers of the skin, providing instant lifting, rejuvenation, and tightening effects.
One of the benefits of PDO thread lifts is that the threads are absorbable, and disappear through hydrolysis about 6 months after the procedure. The lifted areas remain in place for an additional 6 to 9 months, stimulating collagen production and improving skin microcirculation. Additionally, the PDO threads produce skin tightening and facial slimming through the contraction of fat tissue.
The PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only a small amount of local anesthetic. After insertion through a cannula into different layers of the skin, the thread lifts the skin upward and anchors it. Depending on the area treated, the procedure can take 15 to 60 minutes, and you can resume your normal daily activities immediately afterwards. While some discomfort may be present, our improved technique and significant experience ensure optimal results with minimal pain.
While some temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, and mild tightness may occur, they typically resolve within 2 weeks. Infection is rare, but following post-treatment instructions closely can help prevent it. Overall, the PDO thread lift is a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful, lifted appearance.
