Am I a Good Candidate for PDO Threads?
PDO threads are a great option for most patients who want to address mild to moderate signs of aging. Patients with an active skin infection or a history of bleeding problems might not be good candidates. At your consultation, we will discuss your medical history and treatment goals to ensure this is a safe treatment that will provide your desired results.
How Long Does PDO Thread Treatment Take?
The PDO thread lift procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the number of threads used. First, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream can be applied if desired. Next, the PDO threads will be carefully inserted under the skin using a hollow needle. Some immediate improvements can be skin and results will continue to develop as collagen regenerates and restores volume and elasticity.
PDO Thread Aftercare
After a PDO thread lift, patients should expect mild swelling and bruising. To limit these side effects and minimize discomfort, we recommend the following aftercare steps:
- Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
- Avoid excess sun exposure, saunas, and hot tubs
- Avoid strenuous activities for one week
- Moisturize your skin with a gentle moisturizer and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher
Patients can see gradual improvements in their skin’s texture and tone, with final results appearing after a few months. New collagen production lifts and tightens the skin to create natural-looking results that refresh a more youthful appearance.
