PDO Threads Q&A

What are PDO threads, and why are they beneficial?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads lift and tighten sagging skin, creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. These threads are made from a biocompatible material which your body naturally absorbs over time.

PDO threads are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment. They work by stimulating your skin’s collagen production to improve skin elasticity and firmness. This results in smoother, tighter skin with fewer wrinkles and fine lines.Additionally, PDO threads can lift and define specific facial areas, such as your jawline, cheeks, and brows, without the need for surgery or extensive downtime.

Am I a good candidate for PDO threads?

Good candidates for PDO threads are generally healthy, with realistic expectations about the procedure’s results. PDO threads effectively address mild to moderate sagging or laxity in facial skin.

Ideal candidates for PDO threads may be experiencing the following:

  • Sagging skin on the cheeks or jawline
  • Loss of definition in the facial contours
  • Mild to moderate wrinkles and fine lines
  • Drooping brows or hooded eyelids

During a consultation at me.losangeles aesthetics, the experienced providers will assess your skin concerns and determine if PDO threads are the right treatment option for you.

How long does a PDO thread lift last?

The duration of results from a PDO thread lift depends on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle habits. In general, most patients can expect the effects of a PDO thread lift to last anywhere from 12-18 months.

While PDO threads provide immediate lift and tightening of the skin, the long-term benefits continue as the treatment stimulates your collagen production. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve, but the improvements in skin texture and firmness can last well beyond the lifespan of the threads.

The providers may recommend additional treatments or touch-up procedures as needed to maintain the results of your PDO thread lift. With proper skin care and maintenance, you can revel in a more radiant, youthful, and refreshed appearance for years to come.
