PDO Thread Lifts

Get immediate lift, without surgery

PDO thread lifts are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses special threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are inserted under the skin and provide an immediate lifting effect, stimulating collagen production for longer-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about PDO Thread Lifts

How do PDO thread lifts work?

PDO thread lifts work by inserting threads beneath the skin using a fine needle. The threads lift and reposition the skin, providing immediate support. Over time, the threads dissolve, but they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which helps maintain the lift and improve skin texture and elasticity

What are the benefits of PDO thread lift treatments?

PDO thread lift treatments offer several benefits, including:

Lifting and tightening sagging skin on the face, neck and body

Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines

Stimulating collagen production for long-term skin improvement

Providing a natural and refreshed appearance

Offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelifts with minimal downtime.

Are PDO thread lift treatments safe?

PDO thread lift treatments are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified healthcare provider. The threads used are biocompatible and dissolve naturally in the body over time. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be risks and potential side effects, so it’s important to discuss these with your provider.

What areas can PDO thread lifts treat?

PDO thread lifts can be used to treat various areas of the face and neck, including:

Sagging cheeks

Jawline definition

Nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth)

Marionette lines (lines running from the mouth to the chin)

Sagging eyebrows

Loose neck skin

Wrinkling and sagging in the decollete and breast areas

Sagging skin on abdomen, knees, thighs

How are PDO thread lifts administered?

PDO thread lifts are administered through a series of small injections to insert the threads under the skin. The procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia or numbing cream is typically used to ensure comfort during the procedure.

What should I expect during a PDO thread lift treatment?

During a PDO thread lift treatment, your healthcare provider will insert threads beneath your skin using a fine needle. You might feel a slight pulling or tightening sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. There may be some mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort afterward, but you can typically resume normal daly activities within a few days, or up to 10 days for more strenuous activities depending on amount and location of the threads.

How long does it take to see results from PDO thread lifts?

Results from PDO thread lifts are usually visible immediately after the procedure, with continued improvement over the next few months as collagen production is stimulated. The effects can last for about 12-18 months, depending on individual factors and the area treated.

Are PDO thread lift treatments covered by insurance?

Coverage for PDO thread lift treatments varies by insurance plan. Cosmetic treatments are usually not covered by insurance. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage

Who is a good candidate for PDO thread lifts?

Good candidates for PDO thread lifts are individuals looking to lift and tighten sagging skin, improve facial contours, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Those seeking a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelifts may also be good candidates. A consultation with a qualified healthcare provider can help determine if PDO thread lifts are right for you.
