Do you struggle with loose or sagging skin around your face, neck or jaw? What about fine lines or wrinkles? Did you think a facelift is your only option, but you don’t want to get surgery? PDO threads are a new, non-invasive alternative to facelifts that lift and tighten the skin around your face and neck. There’s no surgery involved and minimal downtime – and there’s benefits besides an improved appearance! Let’s look at what PDO threads are and how they can provide similar results to a facelift without going under a knife.

WHAT ARE PDO THREADS?

PDO threads are small sutures that are injected into the skin. They effectively pull and lift the skin in the targeted area. PDO threads are used for saggy skin, fine lines and wrinkles around the face and neck. The sutures themselves last around four to six months, after which time they dissolve into the skin. One of the greatest benefits of PDO thread treatment is that the results can last up to 18 months after the initial procedure. If you want the results of a facelift without surgery and an arduous recovery time, PDO threads could be a great option for you.

THE BENEFITS

There are several benefits to getting PDO threads. The first is the improved appearance of your skin’s elasticity and collagen. The PDO sutures pull and lift the skin up, giving the effect of more youthful and smooth facial structures. These results are long-lasting – you can enjoy your improved appearance for up to 18 months after the treatment. 

Another benefit is the fact that there’s no surgery required. Unlike a traditional facelift, PDO threads are non-invasive with an easier recovery. It’s a great alternative to facelifts and other invasive facial restoration procedures.

In addition to all of these benefits, PDO threads boost the regeneration of collagen around the injection sites. Collagen is a protein that gives skin its youthful look, specifically in regard to elasticity, and decreases rapidly with age. PDO threads stimulate collagen growth in the treatment area around the suture area. This is a big reason why the results of the treatments last so long.

WHAT CAN THEY TREAT?

PDO threads are an effective and noninvasive treatment for the following conditions:

• Uneven skin pigmentation
• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Loose/lax skin

If you suffer from any of these issues, you are likely a good candidate for PDO threads.
