Body by Leverett is proud to introduce our newest service: PDO threads. This non-surgical facial procedure can lift and tighten the skin to produce results similar to a facelift, but without the scarring and downtime! Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about PDO threads and the PDO thread lift procedure.
How Do PDO Threads Work?
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures that can be placed beneath the skin. They’re placed into the skin using needles, which means the treatment is more like an injectable procedure than surgery – there are no incisions or scarring! Once placed into the skin, the PDO threads are used to tighten and lift the skin into a more youthful position. Over time, the PDO threads are naturally broken down by the body, stimulating collagen production in the process. This results in a long-lasting facial rejuvenation procedure with no surgery required.
What is Recovery Like After a PDO Thread Lift?
While the PDO thread lift treatment is non-surgical, patients can still expect some side effects and a brief recovery period. It takes about two full weeks to recover from a PDO thread lift, but most side effects will fade within the first few days. These side effects include bruising, swelling and soreness in the treatment area. Patients only need a few days of downtime and area able to resume all normal activities within two weeks of treatment.
How Long Do PDO Threads Last?
PDO threads typically last 12 to 18 months. After this point, patients can receive additional treatments to extend their results.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for a PDO Thread Lift?
Ideal candidates for a PDO thread lift are individuals who would like to lift and tighten the skin on the face without surgery. Whether you’d like to achieve facial rejuvenation benefits without scarring or without a recovery period that can impact your usual routine, the PDO thread lift is one of the best non-surgical options available.
