PDO Threads Fleetwood, PA

Pre-Care

PDO threads may be FDA-approved, but they’re not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, diabetics, those with autoimmune disorders, or people prone to cold sores. It’s also unsuitable for those with medical conditions that don’t react well to anesthetics.

If your doctor gives you the green light, here’s what to do before your appointment:

• Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking cigars at least 24 hours before your session.
• Avoid Advil, ibuprofen, aspirin, oral vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acid supplements, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and green tea to lower your risk of bleeding and bruising.
• Avoid high-intensity exercises like weightlifting and sauna sessions before the procedure as they can increase your risk for complications.

If you’re prone to nausea, you may want to have someone drive you home after the procedure.

What To Expect

PDO threads work by creating micro-wounds in your skin so they must be inserted by certified providers. Lords & Ladies Salon and Medical Spa has a fantastic team that can deliver natural-looking results in a safe, sterile, and comfortable environment.

Here’s what to expect:

1. The practitioner will apply a local anesthetic to minimize pain and discomfort.
2. Biodegradable, dissolvable threads will be inserted into the different layers of the skin with a cannula. The thin surgical tube will then be pulled to give your skin an instant lift.
3. Once the barbs are holding your skin securely in place, the thread will be cut.

While the entire process will take 45 to 60 minutes, the full results will take 4 to 5 weeks. The threads will trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin production to give your skin structure, strength, and elasticity for top-tier rejuvenation.

Recovery and Aftercare

Because it’s a less invasive alternative to facelift surgeries, recovery time will be minimal. You’ll have some swelling and bruising initially but you can treat them with a cold compress.

Here are other aftercare tips:

• Avoid rubbing your face for at least a week. It can disengage your threads and deliver less-than-perfect results.
• Avoid pursing your lips. That means no smoking or drinking through a straw for the first few weeks.
• Avoid dental treatments for at least a month.
• Avoid intense exercises and saunas. They can slow down healing and make you susceptible to side effects.

And yes, make sure to sleep on your back for the next 3 to 5 days. Prop your head up with a pillow to avoid putting too much pressure on the newly treated areas.
