In the quest for youthful, rejuvenated skin, many seek solutions that offer significant results without the invasiveness and downtime of surgery. Enter PDO lifting threads, a non-surgical facelift option that has gained immense popularity for its effectiveness and minimal recovery time.
At Brisa Aesthetics, we are excited to offer this cutting-edge treatment to help our clients achieve a refreshed and lifted appearance. In this blog, we will explore what PDO lifting threads are, how they work, their benefits, and address some common questions through a comprehensive Q&A section.
What Are PDO Lifting Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) lifting threads are a type of non-surgical facelift that involves the use of dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are made from a biocompatible material that has been used in medical sutures for decades. The treatment can be performed on various areas of the face and body, including the cheeks, jawline, neck, and even the brows.
How Do PDO Lifting Threads Work?
The PDO threads are strategically inserted into the skin using a fine needle. Once in place, they act as a scaffold, lifting and supporting the skin to reduce the appearance of sagging and wrinkles. Over time, the threads stimulate the production of collagen, a natural protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. As the threads dissolve, which typically occurs over six months, the collagen boost continues to improve the skin’s texture and firmness.
Benefits of PDO Lifting Threads
- Non-Surgical: Unlike traditional facelifts, PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive, involving only small injections without the need for large incisions or general anesthesia.
- Quick Procedure: The treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
- Minimal Downtime: Most clients can return to their normal activities immediately or within a few days, experiencing only minor swelling or bruising.
- Natural Results: The gradual collagen production leads to subtle, natural-looking improvements rather than a dramatic, “overdone” appearance.
- Versatility: PDO threads can address various areas of the face and body, providing a customized approach to each client’s needs.
Q&A Section
Q1: Is the PDO thread lift painful?
A1: The procedure is generally well-tolerated. A local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort, and most clients describe the sensation as mild and temporary.
Q2: How long do the results last?
A2: While the threads dissolve over six months, the collagen production they stimulate can provide results that last up to 18 months. Maintenance treatments can extend these benefits.
Q3: Who is a good candidate for a PDO thread lift?
A3: Ideal candidates are those experiencing mild to moderate sagging and wish to enhance their facial contours without surgery. A consultation with our experts at Brisa Aesthetics can determine if this treatment is right for you.
Q4: Are there any side effects?
A4: Side effects are typically minimal and may include swelling, bruising, or slight discomfort at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days.
Q5: How soon will I see results?
A5: Initial lifting can be seen immediately after the procedure, with continued improvements as collagen production increases over the following months.
Q6: Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?
A6: Yes, PDO thread lifts can be combined with other treatments such as dermal fillers or Botox for enhanced results. Our practitioners can create a tailored treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
Q7: What should I avoid after the procedure?
A7: It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and sleeping on your side for a few days post-treatment. Additionally, avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can impair the healing process.
Q8: How much does a PDO thread lift cost?
A8: The cost varies depending on the areas treated and the number of threads used. During your consultation at Brisa Aesthetics, we will provide a detailed cost estimate tailored to your treatment plan.
