PDO thread lift treatment is most commonly used to help tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and body without the need for invasive surgery. The cheeks, eyebrows, jawline, neck, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, arms, thighs and tummy can all be benefitted from PDO therapy. The PDO thread lift method stimulates collagen production in the skin, and after three months, collagen develops around the threads, creating a lifting effect that lasts between 12-18 months.
Since this treatment is non-surgical, the process begins by applying a topical numbing agent and a local anesthetic to the treatment site. The needle used for PDO thread lift procedures are very small so any discomfort is minimal.
Once the procedure begins, PDO threads are introduced via cannulas or blunt-tipped needles. The PDO threads are implanted into the skin’s subcutaneous layer to act as anchors as the skin is raised upwards. The external threads are then snipped.
The skin is lifted immediately as the fat tissue is constricted. PDO threads act similar to a dermal filler but instead of leaving an injectable solution in the skin, a thread is left until it dissolves.
This treatment as an aesthetic therapy comes with a few things to bear in mind. Minor complications occur in 15-20% of procedures but they are typically easily corrected. Complications that could arise include:
-
Discomfort
-
Pain
-
Minor bruising
-

-

-
Accumulation of blood (hematoma)
