PDO THREAD LIFT
PDO THREAD LIFT
PDO threads have been successfully used in surgery since the 1980’s and is now the latest and hottest trend in the cosmetic surgery world that is FDA approved to provide lift for brows, cheeks, jowls, and tighten the jawline and submental area with instant results. Since the 1990’s, thread lifts have been available for face lifting, but the materials used then are different from the innovative materials used today. PDO thread treatments are safe and have very few side effects. There is little to no downtime and no scarring that occur with facelifts.
BENEFITS
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures that produce the following effects: help stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity and volume, provide instant skin lifting through mechanical effects, and skin tightening by approximating tissues. Threads disappear through hydrolysis within a year. After that, the mechanical lift effect will decrease, but the collagen can remain for up to 2 years because of cellular rejuvenation effects.
