WHAT IS PDO THREAD LIFT?
PDO thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses absorbable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck.
HOW DOES PDO THREAD LIFT WORK?
The threads are inserted into the skin using a needle or cannula, and then pulled tight to lift and tighten the skin. The threads stimulate collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture and firmness.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PDO THREAD LIFT?
PDO thread lift can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin on the face and neck. The treatment is minimally invasive and requires little downtime compared to traditional surgical facelift procedures.
IS PDO THREAD LIFT PAINFUL?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, and any discomfort can be managed with a topical anesthetic cream.
HOW LONG DOES PDO THREAD LIFT LAST?
The results of PDO thread lift can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the patient's skin type and the type of threads used.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF PDO THREAD LIFT?
Like any cosmetic procedure, there are risks associated with PDO thread lift, including bruising, swelling, infection, and thread breakage. However, these risks are generally low when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced provider.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PDO THREAD LIFT?
PDO thread lift is a good option for patients who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity on the face or neck, and who want to avoid traditional surgical facelift procedures. It is also a good option for patients who are not yet ready for more invasive procedures.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME FOR PDO THREAD LIFT?
Most patients can return to their normal activities within a day or two after the procedure, although some swelling and bruising may occur. It is important to avoid strenuous activity for a few days after the procedure to allow the threads to properly settle into place.
