PDO Threads: What’s the Hype?

Don’t dismiss your body’s natural ability to heal itself, especially when it comes to reversing the signs of aging. PDO thread Lifts can be an excellent way to turn back the hands of time by tapping into your body’s own regenerative power. PDO threads are a minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that involves placing biocompatible, FDA-approved sutures just under the skin to stimulate new collagen growth and facilitate healing from the inside out.

How Threads Lift the Aging Face

As we age, the face naturally loses volume and the skin inevitably stretches out or loses its elasticity. Combined with a weakened facial support structure, this can result in some very unwanted signs of aging. Jowls, marionette lines and turkey neck are all common concerns for aging adults. A conventional approach to lift sagging facial tissues involves facelift surgery. However, the PDO thread lift can be a more preferable, non-surgical solution to contour your neck and jawline and rejuvenate the mid-face.

Safe with Minimal Risk

PDO thread lifts are not a new concept; they have been safely used in the body for decades. When it comes to improving the signs of facial aging, PDO thread lifts can lift the cheeks, jawline and neck to create a smoother and younger-looking appearance. Once the synthetic PDO (polydioxanone) sutures are placed under the skin, an inflammatory response is initiated to heal the skin. In doing so, more collagen is produced, which works to secure the lifting of the facial skin. The results continue to be noticeable and improve over time. Since the threads are naturally broken down by the body, patients can avoid the risk of unwanted scarring while still gaining long-lasting results.
