PDO Threads  Reading, PA

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifts are an FDA-approved skin rejuvenation treatment. This non-surgical procedure works by inserting dissolvable threads into your skin to lift it into position, causing micro-wounds that trigger the body’s healing response. Threads are absorbed into the skin within 6 months and naturally stimulate the production of collagen—a protein that gives your skin structure and strength, hyaluronic acid, and elastin.

Who Can Get It?

PDO threads are suitable for anyone looking to ward off signs of aging. However, it’s not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people prone to cold sores,  as well as patients with diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and skin conditions.

Why Should You Get It?

PDO threads offer a variety of benefits, including:

• Adding volume to drooping cheeks and jowls
• Lifting sagging or furrowed brows
• Smoothing necklines
• Improving skin laxity
• Boosting skin hydration
• Reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds
• Improving the feel and texture of your skin

Since it doesn’t require you to go under the knife, downtime is minimal. You’ll be able to return to your regular activities right away, unlike facelift surgeries which require weeks of recovery!

Does It Hurt?

A numbing cream will be applied to the area before the procedure to minimize the risk of pain, but you may feel some discomfort when the needles are inserted.

How Long Do Results Last?

The results of PDO threads are immediately visible. They continue developing until the sutures break down and dissolve into the skin. Effects can last anywhere between 1 to 3 years—longer in younger people as they produce collagen more quickly.

Pretty sweet for a procedure that takes less than 45 minutes!

Are There Any Risks Involved?

While PDO threads have the FDA’s stamp of approval, safety depends on the professional administering the service. If they don’t tailor the treatment for your skin condition or familiarize you with pre- and post-care, you could be at risk for:

• Dimpling
• Hematoma
• Infection
• Inflammation
• Snapping of threads

Keep in mind that most people experience some pain, discomfort, bruising, soreness, and bleeding post-treatment, but that should go away with time.
