If you are looking for a nonsurgical option for firm skin, PDO threads injectables are a revolutionary treatment with little downtime. Threads have long been used in the medical industry, and they now offer patients an effective option for skin renewal. This treatment addresses concerns such as signs of ageing and loose skin.
What Are PDO Threads Injectables?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are a medical-grade, natural thread that the body absorbs over time. These threads trigger inflammation, causing cells to respond with the natural healing process. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which tightens and firms the skin.
How Do PDO Threads Work?
PDO threads injectables provide a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting the threads into the subdermal layer of the skin using fine needles. The skin immediately tightens and lifts as the threads provide added support. These results improve over time with the stimulation of collagen and elastin. The threads will dissolve after 6-12 months, but the collagen boost provides longer-lasting results.
What Are the Benefits of PDO Threads?
PDO threads offer numerous benefits for patients:
- Minimally invasive: There is little downtime compared to a surgical procedure.
- Subtle results: They enhance your natural features and contour the face without making drastic changes.
- Collagen stimulation: The threads boost collagen production in cells.
- Minimal downtime: The recovery time is relatively quick.
- Natural treatment: Your body absorbs the threads.
What Are the Effects of PDO Threads?
When done by a board-certified plastic surgeon, PDO thread injectables are a low-risk procedure. Some patients experience mild side effects such as swelling, bruising and tenderness. Most patients can resume their daily routine shortly after treatment. It’s best to avoid intense exercise for 2 weeks.
Serious side effects are rare, but they include thread migration, infection and dimpling. Consulting a highly skilled professional will give you peace of mind and a procedure with minimal downtime.
Who Can Get PDO threads?
This procedure is effective for most patients and ideal for those with sagging skin who want a more youthful appearance using a nonsurgical approach. Some common areas to target include:
- Brows
- Jawline
- Neck
- Lips
- Forehead
- Cheeks
- Decolletage
- Abdomen
- Thighs
How Long Do the Results Last?
The threads typically dissolve within 6 to 12 months. However, the collagen stimulation lasts far longer. Each case is unique, so the results may vary.
Are PDO Thread Injectables Painful?
Before we begin the procedure, we apply a local anesthetic to minimize pain and discomfort. You may experience a slight pulling sensation and pressure during treatment.
Can I Combine PDO Thread Injectables With Other Treatments?
You can combine PDO threads with other procedures such as dermal fillers (Botox® and Juvederm®) and microneedling. Using this procedure with other skin rejuvenation treatments can help you achieve overall healthy and radiant skin.
