What are PDO Lifting Threads?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are thin medical grade absorbable threads that lift and tighten sagging skin. They are implanted into the subcutaneous layer of skin using small needles or cannulas. Once the threads are inserted, the skin looks rejuvenated, filled, and lifted.
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that helps tighten your skin without the need for big incisions, unlike most facelift procedures, PDO thread lifting uses small needles to insert fine threads under the skin. These PDO threads are especially designed to anchor the sagging skin and lift it upwards. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which further diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Recovery
Since PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery time is quick. Most people get this procedure done and return to normal activities the day after. Minor inflammation and bruising may occur in the first few days, but they usually resolve within 1-2 weeks.
