PDO threads can be used to smooth wrinkled crepey skin by replacing and adding collagen and elastin to damaged areas to restore the healthy foundation to your skin. The PDO threads we use are sterile hypodermic cannulas preloaded with an absorbable PDO suture thread. A needle loaded with the thread is injected under the skin to be treated. The PDO thread is automatically released when the needle is removed to begin building collagen. This thread is fully absorbed in about 4-6 months and results last 12-24 months. Threads are often used with dermal fillers to create a scaffold under the skin which will provide multiple short and long term benefits of total facial aesthetics.
PDO Threading
The PDO threads work in two ways- Building your own collagen through the body’s natural healing process and also creating biostimulation so your skin develops better blood flow which will tighten your skin and improve the skin texture and look.
There are two types of procedures with PDO threads. Smooth threads are placed under the skin in a hashtag pattern which brings back the lost blood flow to the area which will repair and tighten skin and build collagen to a specific area. Lifting threads are used to produce an immediate visible result of sagging skin which will get better over time. Lifting threads are designed to pull up and re-drape the skin. This will restore that beautiful V-shape to your face and have the same benefits of the smooth threads giving you and immediate benefit that gets better over time.
