PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used for addressing issues with aging skin.
“PDO Threads tighten, lift, and rejuvenate sagging skin while promoting collagen production, delivering natural-looking, long-lasting results.”
What’s amazing about PDO Threads is their versatility! For example, smooth threads can be used superficially in cross hatch patterns to stimulate collagen formation. This is effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Lifting threads are very different as they pull up the skin, improving sagging skin and folds.
PDO threads are not limited to facial treatments! They can be used practically anywhere on the body to improve skin texture and provide lifting. Common areas include:
PDO threads come in multiple forms and can be employed for various purposes, including volumizing, improving texture, treating acne scarring, reducing lines and wrinkles, and performing non-surgical face lifting.
PDO threads are particularly effective for adding volume and lifting sagging skin. They can be strategically placed to lift and contour areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck, providing a more youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
For individuals looking to improve the texture of their skin, PDO threads can be an excellent option. They stimulate collagen production, which helps to smooth out rough or uneven skin, making it look more refined and youthful.
PDO threads can also be used to address acne scarring. By inserting the threads into the skin, they help to break up the scar tissue and promote the formation of new collagen, leading to a reduction in the appearance of scars over time.
Fine lines and wrinkles can be effectively treated with PDO threads. The threads create a scaffold under the skin, providing support and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This results in a reduction of wrinkles and a smoother complexion.
One of the most popular uses of PDO threads is for non-surgical face lifting. They offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional face lifts, with significantly less downtime. The threads are inserted into the skin to lift and tighten areas like the mid-face, jawline, and neck, delivering immediate and long-lasting results.
Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how PDO Threads work:
Your PDO Thread treatment at our San Ramon & San Francisco Bay Area medical spa clinic will begin with a consultation in which you and your provider will determine your treatment goals. During this minimally invasive procedure, our Injectors will use the most advanced techniques to insert the PDO Threads and lift the skin upwards. Treatment typically only takes 30-45 minutes. Numbing cream is available for all injectable procedures.
The threads procedure is considered a very safe procedure, with even milder side effects than fillers. PDO Threads are nontoxic and have not been known to cause any type of allergic reaction. The same threads have been used successfully in medicine for closing wounds, gynecology and more. You may have some swelling and bruising for the first 24-48 hours, but recovery from the procedure is minimal and it’s often possible to return to work the same day.
