PDO threads treatment is a non-surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are inserted into the skin using a fine needle, stimulating collagen production and creating a subtle, natural lift. This treatment is commonly used on areas like the face, neck, and jawline to address sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. The threads dissolve over time, but the collagen they stimulate remains, offering long-lasting results. PDO thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime, making it an excellent option for those seeking a youthful appearance without surgery.
Collagen Depletion: As we age, the body produces less collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. This leads to sagging and wrinkles.
Loss of Skin Elasticity: Natural aging, combined with environmental factors like sun exposure and pollution, reduces the skin’s ability to bounce back, contributing to fine lines and sagging.
Gravity: Over time, the downward pull of gravity causes skin to droop, especially around areas like the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor diet, and lack of proper skincare can accelerate the aging process and contribute to skin laxity.
Sagging Skin: Particularly around the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Loss of Facial Contour: A flat or sunken appearance, particularly in the cheeks and lower face.
Thinning Skin: As skin becomes thinner, it loses its firmness and starts to wrinkle.
Non-Surgical Facelift: PDO threads provide a lifting effect without the need for invasive surgery, making it a safer, less risky option.
Stimulates Collagen Production: The threads help to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, leading to improved skin texture, firmness, and elasticity over time.
Minimal Downtime: Recovery time is relatively short, allowing patients to resume their normal activities quickly.
Long-Lasting Results: The effects of PDO thread lifting can last from 12 to 18 months, with gradual improvement as collagen production increases.
Natural Look: The treatment provides a subtle, natural lifting effect, enhancing facial contours without looking overdone.
Targeted Treatment: PDO threads can be placed in specific areas to address concerns like sagging cheeks, jawline definition, and neck tightening.
Safe and FDA-Approved: PDO thread lifting is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that has been used globally for facial rejuvenation.
