What is PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift?

A PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using dissolvable sutures. The threads, made of biocompatible material, are inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula to provide an immediate lifting effect while also stimulating collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation.

How It Works:

  • Thread Insertion:
    PDO threads are placed under the skin to lift and support sagging areas.

  • Immediate Lift:
    The threads provide an instant skin-tightening effect.

  • Collagen Stimulation:
    Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, but they trigger collagen production, which helps maintain firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Benefits of PDO Thread Lift:

  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime

  • Lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face, jawline, neck, or even body

  • Stimulates collagen for long-lasting firmness and rejuvenation

  • Results last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the individual

The Procedure

The PDO thread lift procedure involves inserting dissolvable polydioxanone threads under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads lift and tighten the skin while stimulating collagen production. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

  1. Consultation: Assess suitability and treatment goals.
  2. Preparation: Cleanse and numb the treatment area.
  3. Thread Insertion: Insert PDO threads to lift and tighten skin.
  4. Lifting: Adjust threads for the desired effect.
  5. Aftercare: Mild swelling and bruising may occur, with results improving over time as collagen builds.

The procedure offers immediate lifting and long-term skin rejuvenation, with results lasting from 6 months to 2 years.

What should I do after the treatment?

After a PDO thread lift, it’s important to avoid touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area for a few days to prevent disrupting the threads. Limit excessive facial expressions like smiling or chewing and sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights. Refrain from strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or anything that increases blood flow (such as hot tubs or saunas) for at least a week. Expect mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which should subside within a few days, and you can use cold compresses to help with swelling. Stick to a gentle skincare routine and avoid strong products like retinols or exfoliants for a few days. Protect your skin from sun exposure with sunscreen and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. Following these steps will help you achieve the best possible results.

What are the risks of PDO thread lift?

While PDO thread lifts are generally safe, there are some risks to consider, including swelling, bruising, pain, or tenderness at the treatment site. In rare cases, complications such as infection, thread migration (where the threads shift position), or asymmetry (uneven lifting) may occur. There’s also a risk of visible threads under the skin if not properly placed, and skin dimpling may result if the threads are too tight or not evenly distributed. Some people may experience allergic reactions or numbness in the treated area, though these are uncommon. It’s important to choose a qualified, experienced practitioner to minimize these risks and ensure a safe and effective treatment.
