What Is PDO Thread Lift?The PDO Thread lift is a non-surgical procedure performed in-office which tightens, smooths, and contours the face, neck, and body areas through the strategic placement of dissolvable PDO treads. PDO Thread lifts are surgical sutures (the “threads”), inserted in strategic locations into the deep dermis and underlying supporting tissues beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate the production of collagen to improve the skin’s elasticity.
There are different styles of threads, some smooth and some barbed, designed for different purposes. Youthful-looking firmness and suppleness is restored to areas where volume loss and sagging have occurred, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin in the targeted treatment areas.
The original “thread lift” first gained FDA approval in the late ’90s, but was unsuccessful due to inferior technology. After decades of technological advancement, the latest technology uses resorbable sutures, composed of biodegradable polymers, that have been used in cardiovascular surgery for decades.
How Does The PDO Thread Lift Procedure Work?PDO threads are dissolvable threads that are placed under the skin to achieve lifting of the cheeks, jowls, neck bands, and various areas of the body. These threads are composed of polydioxanone (PDO), the same material that has been used for surgical procedures for 30 years. The threads are inserted, and when the needle is withdrawn, the thread remains under the skin.
Threads stimulate the formation of collagen, which gives the skin elasticity and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This improves the skin’s quality and texture over time, while also lifting and adding volume to areas that have laxity. The suture material gradually breaks down over a period of 6-8 months; however, the results typically continue to last for up to a year and a half.
PDO threads can be used for a variety of aesthetic improvements, including:Threading face lift to slightly lift the tail of your brows for a refreshed look.Face thread lift to firm the skin under your eyes and in the crow’s feet area.Add slight volume and definition to the edges of your lips with a **facial thread lift**.Contour your nose to lift the tip or add definition to the bridge of your nose.Correct mild drooping of your cheeks or jowls, or restore definition along your jawline with a face thread lift.Neck thread lift to smooth mild to deep wrinkles on the neck and décolletage.More contoured and lifted arms and breasts.Improve the texture of the skin around the arms, thighs, and above the knees.Diminish the appearance of stretch marks and scars.PDO threads can also be placed in other parts of the body (for example, the abdomen) to improve skin texture and elasticity, or to reduce the appearance of stretch marks or scars. Additionally, neck threading can help smooth and rejuvenate the skin on your neck, giving you a more youthful profile.
Who Is a Good Candidate?PDO Thread lift treatment is FDA-approved, safe, and effective for adults of all skin types and genders. As with any skin rejuvenation procedure, you should be in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations of results.
What Are The Benefits of a PDO Thread LiftWhen considering a non-surgical lift, understanding the PDO thread lift benefits can help you make an informed decision. Here are some key advantages of this innovative procedure:
Immediately visible improvement, plus results continue to improve over time as the body tissues respond to the threads by producing new collagenCan be used to rejuvenate skin and improve contouring on many areas of the bodyCan be used even in delicate areas such as the lips and around the eyesNo scarringMinimal downtime
What Happens During a PDO Thread Lift Procedure?This is an outpatient procedure performed here at Diamond Dermis uses local anesthesia. Procedures typically take anywhere from 15 minutes to about an hour. Diamond Dermis uses smooth threads for placement in areas such as the lips, under the eyes, and in the deep creases of the neck or décolletage to promote collagen production.
The barbed threads are used for lifting tissue such as the breasts, arms, inner thighs, anterior thighs (to lift the skin above the knees), in the forehead to lift the brows, and in the sides of the face to lift the cheeks, decrease jowls and define the jawline. Their barbs are directional, the threads are placed in such a way to help lift and hold the tissue in place (the barbs prevent the tissues from sliding back down). Excess skin is lifted and evenly dispersed along the length of the thread. As it reacts to the threads by producing more collagen, it regains lost elasticity.
What is the PDO Thread Lift Recovery Like?PDO thread lift recovery is generally straightforward and involves minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their regular activities within a day or two. You may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the treatment site, but these symptoms typically subside quickly.
It’s essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by Diamond Dermis, which may include avoiding strenuous exercise and facial treatments for a short period. Many patients notice improved contouring and lifted appearance almost immediately, with continued enhancement as the collagen production increases in the weeks following the procedure.
PDO Threads combined nicely with Botox and fillers to rejuvenate the face and neck, but patients must wait 2 weeks after having the injections. This gives time for Botox to take full effect, for fillers to set, and for most of the swelling to diminish.
