What are PDO Threads?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads use a biodegradable polyester suture that helps tighten and lift your skin. The threads are anchored and inserted into different layers of the skin using needles that will instantly lift and tighten sagging skin. PDO threads also stimulate collagen production and cellular renewal, improving your skinβs texture for longer-lasting results. At Live Young Wellness Spa, we offer this treatment as it is a less invasive procedure that requires no general anesthesia, or large incisions, and has no post-procedure pain or significant downtime. Many people have been choosing this treatment rather than opting for a surgical facelift. Why is that??
PDO Threads vs. Surgical Facelift
PDO threads can be a great alternative to a surgical facelift because it is far less invasive. It can be performed right in the office and in a shorter amount of time than a surgical facelift. There is also little to no downtime afterward which makes it more convenient for our patients. The threads used in a lift are naturally absorbed by the body over time leaving no scars. Typically, the threads will dissolve within six months while also increasing collagen production resulting in results that last between 12-24 months for most patients. The biggest difference is that PDO threads are less risky and less damaging to your wallet compared to a surgical facelift.
What Can PDO Threads Help Improve?
We know PDO threads can be a non-surgical facelift, but what exactly can they help improve? You can get a thread lift for the jawline to help reduce or eliminate jowls and can define and sharpen both the chin and jawline. Threads can also help lift the cheeks. As we age, our cheeks often start to sag and become flat in appearance due to losing subcutaneous fat. A thread lift will position and hold the cheeks back into their original position which will create visibly higher and more prominent cheekbones. Our patients also enjoy the thread lift for the eyes.
As we age, the skin around the eyes starts to lose elasticity resulting in sagging and drooping around the eyes. A thread lift will restore the skin to its higher, original position. Inserting a thread at the outer tail of the eyebrow and lifting the brow upwards can help achieve upturned eyes and arched browsβ¦ hello βcat eyes!β Lastly, a thread lift can be used to help lift the skin. It will help soften those pesky soft lines and reduce those wrinkles we dread seeing. How does that work? The microscopic βbarbsβ on the thread will securely anchor onto the lax skin which will lift and hold it in place. This can help reduce sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines! Since the threads naturally get absorbed by the body, they help stimulate the bodyβs renewed natural production of collagen. This will lead to the improvement in skin texture, tone, tightness, and elasticity for long-lasting results.
