PDO Lifting Threads

PDO lifting threads are specially designed threads that are placed with gentle pressure to lift and smooth the forehead skin. Additionally, the threads can stimulate the production of collagen, which can help improve the skin’s elasticity.

These small polydioxanone threads are strategically placed in the dermis to target sagging and wrinkles. The threads have tiny barbs that grab onto the skin tissue to lift it and create a smoother appearance. This treatment can be used in conjunction with dermal fillers to give patients complete facial rejuvenation. Patients who are interested in this minimally invasive procedure can schedule a consultation at our practice.

How Do PDO Lifting Threads Work?

PDO threads are inserted into the tissues of the face to lift and tighten the skin. This PDO lifting procedure creates immediate results by enabling the skin to regenerate collagen naturally while at the same time creating a lifted appearance. Once inserted underneath the skin, the threads act as a structure to lift sagging tissues and create a tauter look. After the procedure is completed, patients can expect to enjoy their results for up to six months before having to undergo another treatment. Most patients who get this procedure have it done on their lower face or neck.

PDO threads are an excellent alternative to dermal fillers and other invasive cosmetic procedures that do not last as long and provide very temporary results. Since PDO threads are both safe and effective, they can be used by both men and women. 

What Are the Benefits of PDO Lifting Threads?

Dental professionals and patients alike love using PDO threading for a smile makeover because of its many benefits and minimal side effects. Here’s what you need to know about this popular treatment choice:

• It’s minimally invasive, which means no anesthetic is necessary for the procedure. That means there’s no pain, swelling, or bleeding involved. All you feel is a slight prick as the thread is inserted.
• It helps tighten the skin in the targeted area by stimulating collagen production. This, in turn, results in tighter skin and a more contoured face. And the skin continues to produce collagen after you leave the office.
• You don’t have to deal with any scalpels or stitches! The skin is tightened right away, so you’ll look younger and feel smoother right away.
• It’s a safe procedure that can be performed on any skin type. There’s little to no risk of scarring, discoloration, infection, or other complications when handled by an experienced professional.
• You can resume your normal activities immediately after leaving the dental office. There’s no downtime needed, so you can get back to your day in no time.
• The results aren’t permanent but can be maintained with continued maintenance treatments throughout the year.
