PDO Threads
What Are PDO Threads?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are biodegradable sutures commonly used in medical procedures. In aesthetic medicine, they serve as a minimally invasive solution to lift and tighten sagging skin.
Inserted beneath the skin, these threads provide immediate support and stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness over time. PDO thread lifts are often referred to as non-surgical facelifts, as they work to restore more youthful facial contours.
Benefits of PDO Threads
Non-surgical facelift
Lift and tighten drooping skin without the need for invasive surgery.
Collagen stimulation
Promote natural collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.
Minimal downtime
Quick recovery allows patients to resume daily activities promptly.
Versatility
PDO threads can effectively treat skin laxity in multiple areas, including the neck, jawline, cheeks, and brows.
What to Expect During
a PDO Thread Lift
PDO thread lift procedures typically take 30 to 60 minutes. After applying a local anesthetic to ensure comfort, Dr. Mona inserts the PDO threads using a fine needle or cannula. The threads anchor the skin and are then adjusted to achieve the desired lift, resulting in immediate improvement in facial contours.
What to Expect During PDO Thread Lift Recovery
Post-procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas; these effects are generally temporary and subside within a few days. Applying cold compresses can help minimize swelling.
You will be advised to avoid strenuous activities, facials, facial massages, and excessive facial movements for about two weeks to ensure optimal healing. Refraining from drinking alcohol and smoking is also recommended to support the healing process.
