PDO threads are non-surgical and non-invasive cosmetic treatments that provide an instant lift to sagging or loose skin. PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable surgical tools that have been used for years as sutures after surgeries.
When used for cosmetic enhancement, PDO threads help to lift areas around the eyes, cheeks, jaw, and neck. The treatment involves the insertion of the threads through a small incision in the skin. The threads both lift the area being treated and prompt your own body to begin producing more collagen. Over time, these threads dissolve, leaving skin infused with new collagen. a
You should avoid rubbing your face for the first week following your treatment. Bruising or swelling during the first 48 hours after your treatment may occur.
