There are a few things patients ought to know when using PDO (polydioxanone) threads as a cosmetic treatment: It mechanically results in an instantaneous lifting of the skin. It also tightens instantly and promotes collagen production and neovascularization to renew the skin at the cellular level. All of this works together to give patients improved skin texture, fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and more elastic skin. A PDO thread lift is customized to your unique skin type, skin texture and esthetic goals. Depending on the wished area to treat, patients may receive three or four carefully placed barbed threads. Different threads are used for varying degrees of lifting, skin tightening and cellular rejuvenation.

Most patients enjoy satisfactory results after just one treatment. After six to nine months of their first treatment, the individual returns and specialists determine if they need a follow-up treatment or not. After that, individuals should not need another treatment for up to 3 years.

PDO threads can be used virtually anywhere on the face without risk and with excellent results. Duration depends on several factors, including the thickness of the threads, the quality of the threads and the body's metabolic rate. However, most patients find that the threads have dissolved within six to nine months. Some treatment results, such as skin tightening and some of the contouring effects, are visible immediately after treatment. In fact, the skin may look tighter when you finish treatment than it does a week later. The final results of your PDO thread lift will be seen within one to 3 months. The duration relies specifically on age. Age is one of the main factors in how quickly the body produces new, healthy collagen. Collagen is the protein responsible for plumping cheeks, filling in fine lines and smoothing wrinkles.
