PDO Threads
PDO threads are made from a dissolvable suture material that breaks down in your body after about 6 months.
The presence of these sutures in your skin triggers cells in your body called fibroblasts to produce more collagen. Collagen is the protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity. Loss of collagen is one of the main causes of aging skin.
PDO threads can be further divided into three categories:
- PDO mono threads. Smooth sutures that help rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production.
- PDO cog threads. These threads have barbs that latch into your skin like small fishhooks, to provide support and lift parts of your face.
- PDO screw threads. Made up of one or two intertwined threads, these are used to help restore volume to sunken parts of your skin.
PDO thread lifts have a much lower risk of complications than facelift surgeries. Potential complications include:
- Visible sutures (especially in people with thin skin)
- Pain
- Minor bruising
- Infection
- Snapping of threads
- Accumulation of blood (hematoma)
- Inflammation
- Dimpling (orange peel-like skin texture)
What areas of the face can PDO threads treat
PDO threads can treat most parts of your face that are experiencing signs of aging. The areas around your cheeks, jaw, neck, and eyes are among the most commonly treated areas.
Because the results of thread lifts aren’t as drastic as the results of facelift surgeries, thread lifts are commonly used together with other anti-aging procedures such as ultherapy or dermal fillers.
PDO thread lift results in immediate improvements in skin sagging after the procedure.
