What are PDO Threads?

These are high-quality sutures commonly employed in facelifts. If your face is showing signs of loosening and sagging skin, and you're seeking a more youthful and tighter appearance, a PDO thread lift might be an ideal solution.

PDO threads, crafted from protein, are thinner than a strand of hair. Medical research indicates that they ease muscles and tendons, triggering improved blood circulation due to the body's response to a foreign substance.

This heightened circulation encourages new collagen production, along with essential hyaluronic acid and elastin, which are vital for maintaining firm and youthful skin. PDO thread lifts are often referred to as “The non-surgical facelift.”

What are the benefits of PDO threads?

PDO threads represent one of the three primary types of suture threads used for lifting procedures. This thread variant has been utilized by cosmetic surgeons since the 1980s, predating the other two types. The less common thread options are crafted from polycaprolactone or polylactic acid.

Introducing PDO threads to your skin prompts your body's cells to stimulate collagen production, a pivotal protein that contributes to the skin's elasticity and structure. The gradual decrease of this protein is a primary factor in aging skin. PDO lifting threads fall into three distinct categories:

  1. PDO screw threads comprise intertwined threads designed to alleviate sunken wrinkles and enhance skin volume.

  2. PDO cog threads feature barbed structures that anchor into the skin, offering lift and support to specific facial areas.

  3. PDO mono threads, also known as PDO smooth threads, reinvigorate skin by fostering collagen generation.

Broadly, PDO threads lead to two types of procedures: one focusing on skin lifting and the other on smoothing. Essentially, PDO thread lift treatment combines lifting, tightening, and smoothing of skin tissue to promote a more youthful appearance.

What to expect

  • Before PDO Threads:

    Here’s what you can expect before the procedure begins:

    • Consultation: Meet with a qualified practitioner to discuss your goals and medical history.

    • Preparation: Follow guidelines like avoiding blood-thinning meds and alcohol.

    • Health Check: Your medical history and health will be assessed.

    • Expectations: Understand what the procedure can achieve and ask questions.

    • Skin Prep: Prepare your skin by avoiding excessive sun exposure.

    • Comfort: Discuss pain management and expectations.

  • During The Procedure:

    You can anticipate a painless and comfortable experience throughout your treatment session. Before beginning the procedure, we administer numbing to the specific area. The insertion of threads is carried out using cannulas, which can be either blunt or sharp, tailored to your individual requirements. These cannulas navigate through multiple layers of your skin to secure the threads, enabling the tightening of your skin. Once the threads are anchored, any extra threads are trimmed away.

  • After PDO Thread Lifting:

    During the initial days, sleeping on your back will provide the most comfort. Expect sensitivity when applying direct pressure on your face over the threads, which may persist for approximately two weeks. You might experience a slight pulling sensation as you move the treated area, though this sensation gradually subsides and is typically minimal within two weeks. No strenuous exercise for 1 week. No dental work, facials, or facial massages for 1 month.

Why do people get PDO thread lifts?

People opt for PDO thread lifts to address concerns like sagging skin, wrinkles, and a less firm appearance. This procedure is sought after to achieve a fresher, more youthful look by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin tightness. PDO thread lifting is particularly appealing to those seeking non-surgical options for facial rejuvenation.

Do PDO threads hurt?

The discomfort during PDO thread insertion is usually minimal due to local anesthesia or numbing creams used before the procedure. Some individuals might experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising afterward, but these effects are temporary and typically subside within 1-2 weeks.

How much do PDO threads cost?

The cost of PDO thread treatments can vary widely depending on factors like the type of threads used, the amount of threads needed, the practitioner's experience, and the geographical location. On average, PDO thread treatments can range from $ 1,500 to $2,500 per session. It's recommended to consult with a practitioner for a more accurate estimate based on your individual needs and goals.
