PDO (polydioxanone) threads are a type of minimally invasive aesthetic treatment used to lift and tighten sagging skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin texture. These threads are made from a biocompatible and absorbable material called polydioxanone, which has a long history of use in medical sutures.
PDO threads are commonly used for facial rejuvenation, including lifting and tightening the midface, jawline, neck, and eyebrows. They can also be used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How long will the results last?
The results of PDO thread treatments are immediate, and they continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated. The duration of results varies but generally lasts several months, with effects lasting up to a year or more.
Is there downtime after?
PDO thread treatments generally have minimal downtime. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, or redness at the treatment site, but these side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a week.
