PDo threads
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are thinner-than-hair medical grade absorbable
threads that lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. These threads are implanted
into the subcutaneous layer of the 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 a person’s
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.
Who’s It For?
Anyone who is looking to correct lines, wrinkles, and other manifestations of
aging in the face can be a good candidate for a PDO thread lift procedure. If a
person’s sagging skin is under the chin and near the cheeks, the procedure is
especially effective and beneficial for them.
Ideal candidates are between the ages of 30-65.The PDO threads dissolve after six to nine months, but their effects can last up to two years, thanks to the production of collagen.-

Before the treatment, we will disinfect your skin with alcohol, apply a numbing agent to the area being treated, then inject a local anesthetic into the skin to reduce discomfort.
You may experience some swelling for a few days after the procedure. You are encouraged to use over-the-counter pain medication like Advil or Tylenol to treat the post-procedure swelling.
