How Can the PDO Thread Lift Improve My Skin?

If you’re searching for a way to tighten, lift, and enhance the skin on your face and neck, but don’t want to go under the knife, PDO threads might be the best solution for you. PDO threads allow our clients to improve sagging, loose facial skin without the risks and costs of surgery.

What are PDO Threads?

PDO threads are extremely thin strands of thread (thinner than human hair!) that are coated with FDA-approved protein material. PDO threads are strategically injected into the top layers of the facial skin to stimulate collagen renewal.

Where on My Body Can I Get PDO Threads Inserted?

PDO threads are placed just under the facial skin. Placement depends on what areas of the face you are trying to enhance, and PDO threads can be used pretty much anywhere on the face, neck, or even chest. Some practitioners even use PDO threads in other body areas with great success!

How Does a PDO Thread Lift Work?

Once the PDO thread is inserted into the desired area, it anchors itself to the surrounding soft tissue. Once anchored, the muscles and tendons in the area relax while blood flow to the area is increased. This increase in blood flow stimulates collagen production. As the PDO thread slowly absorbs into the soft tissues, it is replaced with new, healthy collagen. This leaves your skin looking smooth and youthful for many months to come!

What Results Should I Expect to See With a PDO Thread Lift?

Unlike a facelift where you have to wait weeks for swelling and bruising to subside to see results, you will see immediate results from your PDO Thread Lift! The PDO threads go to work immediately, relaxing muscles and tendons, smoothing out fine lines, wrinkles, and expression lines. The PDO threads dissolve slowly over 6-8 months and are replaced with new collagen cells. This collagen restoration lasts for several months after the threads are completely dissolved, so you may see results from your PDO Thread Lift for up to an entire year after the treatment!

Pro tip: Pair PDO threads with our other beauty-enhancing treatments, like neuromodulators or fillers, for the best results!
