About
PDO threads are thin, biocompatible, absorbable threads made from a synthetic material called polydioxanone.
During a PDO thread procedure, the threads are inserted into the skin using a small needle or cannula. The threads are strategically placed to lift and tighten sagging skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin texture. The threads provide structural support, leading to a lifting effect.
PDO threads are commonly used on the face, neck, and jawline to address signs of aging, such as sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. They can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the arms, thighs, or buttocks, for skin tightening purposes.
The recovery process after a PDO thread treatment can vary depending on individual factors and the extent of the procedure. Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort may occur, but these typically subside within a few days to a week. Some individuals may experience a sensation of tightness or slight pulling as the threads settle in place. It's important to follow the post-treatment care.
The results of PDO thread treatments are not permanent since the threads gradually dissolve over time. However, the stimulation of collagen production can have a longer-lasting effect. The duration of results varies depending on factors such as individual characteristics, lifestyle, and the specific treatment performed. Typically, results can last for several months to a year or more.
