PDO Threads
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a type of minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to lift and tighten sagging skin. They can be used in various areas of the face and body, including the cheeks, jowls, neck, and eyebrows.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO threads provide immediate mechanical support to lift and reposition the skin. Over time, the PDO threads gradually dissolve within the skin, but their effects can last for several months to a year. During the dissolving process, the threads stimulate the production of collagen, which helps to maintain the lifting and tightening effects even after the threads have dissolved.
What can I expect from PDO Threads?
You will have an initial consultation with Dr. Mohan, who will assess your concerns, examine your skin, and discuss your expectations. She will determine if you are a suitable candidate for PDO threads and explain the procedure in detail. The number and placement of the threads will depend on the specific treatment plan discussed during the consultation. The process usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of the treatment. Over time, the PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain the skin’s structure and elasticity. As the threads gradually dissolve, the newly formed collagen provides ongoing support, resulting in continued lifting and tightening effects. The duration of the results can vary depending on factors such as your age, lifestyle, and the number of threads used. Generally, the effects of PDO threads can last several months to a year. Some individuals may opt for touch-up treatments or additional threads to maintain or enhance the results.
