PDO THREADS
PDO Smooth Threads are a type of non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are thin, dissolvable sutures that are inserted into the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike barbed threads, which are used for lifting, smooth threads are primarily designed for skin revitalization. Over time, the threads are absorbed by the body, leaving behind firmer, more youthful-looking skin. The treatment is minimally invasive, with little downtime and natural-looking results.
ABOUT PDO THREAD LIFT
A PDO Threads are a non-invasive and non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to reverse visible signs of aging on the face and neck. PDO stands for polydioxanone, a chemical compound commonly used in surgical suturing for years. This compound is now utilized in thread treatments to improve the skin’s appearance.
What is a PDO Treads?
Smooth PDO Threads:
Collagen Stimulation: Smooth threads are placed under the skin in a mesh-like pattern to trigger the body's healing response. Over time, the body produces new collagen around the threads, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.
Skin Rejuvenation: Ideal for areas needing subtle volume and texture improvements, such as fine lines around the mouth, under the eyes, and on the neck.
Twisted PDO Threads:
Enhanced Stimulation: Twisted threads have a coiled shape, offering more surface area to trigger stronger collagen production compared to smooth threads.
Volume Boost: They provide a mild plumping effect, making them effective for deeper wrinkles or areas needing additional volume, like the nasolabial folds or marionette lines.
Both types of threads dissolve naturally over time (within 4-6 months), but the collagen they stimulate continues to improve the skin’s texture, firmness, and elasticity for up to 12-18 months. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
