PDO Threads - Price varies - Consultation required
PDO threads, also known as Polydioxanone threads, are a type of cosmetic treatment used for non-surgical facelifts and skin rejuvenation. PDO stands for Polydioxanone, which is a biodegradable synthetic polymer commonly used in medical sutures.
PDO threads are fine, absorbable threads that are inserted into the skin to lift and tighten sagging or loose tissues. They work by stimulating collagen production and providing mechanical support to the skin. The threads are placed strategically in the subcutaneous tissue, and once inserted, they create a supportive structure that lifts and tightens the skin!
We start with a full face consultation, during which our skilled aesthetics staff assesses you and gives you thorough information so you can decide if this is the best course of action for you. Once you’ve made your choice, we develop a treatment strategy that is especially suited to your requirements.
Procedure: You will be given a local anesthetic before the procedure. The lifting process will then be started by carefully placing the PDO threads under the skin with sutures. In addition, to relax the muscles and smooth the skin, our injection specialist will provide a series of neurotoxic injections in the treated area. The treatment takes about 45 minutes, but depending on the area being treated, you may be required to schedule two appointments.
Following treatments, a care plan will be issued to you in order to improve your recovery. Initial redness and discomfort are possible. For a few days after your treatment, you’ll need to be cautious not to apply pressure to the treated region or wash it too aggressively.
What Happens After a PDO Thread Neck Lift?
You’ll see some improvement soon after treatment because the PDO threads are used to produce lift and definition. Over the following few days, the threads work together to smooth the skin. You’ll notice more improvements in the weeks following the procedure because it also stimulates the synthesis of collagen.
Even though a thread lift does not offer as much “lift” as surgery, it can still be very effective, especially when used to target specific treatment areas.
For best results, a non-surgical PDO Thread Neck Lift may be combined with additional procedures. For instance, the lift therapy doesn’t address aging-related pigmentation, thus other procedures can enhance its benefits. We can incorporate additional therapies into your unique approach.
