Lifting Pdo (Polydiaxonone) Threads Treatment
Lifting PDO threads are an excellent treatment for sagging skin. They offer a minimally invasive option with moderate costs and ongoing maintenance. Lifting threads can address many areas of concern, such as cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jowls, neck, and jawline.
Depending on the patient, the effects can last up to 1-3 years, providing immediate visible results that make you look like a younger version of yourself. This treatment works by rebuilding the skin's substructure with collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, acting as a scaffold for solid fillers.
Lifting PDO Threads vs Facelift
In comparison, a surgical facelift is also effective for sagging skin but is a maximally invasive procedure with high costs and potential surgical complications. Unlike lifting PDO threads, a surgical facelift does not enhance the skin's substructure or texture and often requires additional injectable treatments.
What Are The Benefits Of Pdo Threads?
Lifting PDO threads is a highly safe treatment. The materials used in the treatment are the same as those used for sutures during medical procedures. It's a versatile treatment option with a wide range of benefits.
- Surrounding tissue adhesion
- Surrounding tissue anchoring
- Inducement of skin regeneration
- Regeneration of subcutaneous tissue
What to expect
The Lifting Timeline
Two different things happen after a lifting thread treatment, and they run on two different clocks. The lift is mechanical and immediate. The collagen is biological and slow. Select a stage to see which is which.
Immediate — the lift itself
The threads feature tiny barbs that can be tightened, pulling the skin taut and lifting it into place. This produces immediate visible results.
Mechanical · visible the same day
First one to two weeks — settling
On average, patients report mild pain from one day to a few weeks following the treatment, depending on the number of threads used, their thickness, and the depth at which they are placed.
Side effects are minimal. There can be redness, swelling, pitting, or skin irregularities, and these are rare and typically subside within one to two weeks.
Recovery · talk to your provider about managing mild pain
Three to twelve months — the lift holds
The lifting effect can persist for three to twelve months.
Mechanical · the barbed hold
Up to two years — collagen keeps working
The collagen stimulation the threads provide can last up to two years, rebuilding the skin's substructure with collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid and acting as a scaffold for solid fillers.
Biological · outlasts the lift
One to three years — overall effect
Depending on the patient, the effects can last up to 1-3 years, with ongoing maintenance.
