The Benefits of PDO Threads

PDO threads are a simple and affordable solution for facial rejuvenation. The fast process offers the same rejuvenating effects as a facelift, but without the added risks and major recovery time that come with surgery. At Ageless Medical Aesthetics with West Georgia Medicine, our skilled and friendly staff promise you a personalized and enjoyable thread lifting experience that will leave you feeling healthy and confident.

What Are PDO Threads?

The PDO thread lift procedure uses dissolvable stitches to lift and tighten the skin around your face. While other thread lifts exist, PDO threads use polydioxanone, a polyester biodegradable stitch that naturally dissolves in your body after a few weeks.

These threads stimulate collagen production, which is what achieves that fresh, youthful, and glowing look. PDO threads are shown to boost elastin and hyaluronic acid, too, two other nutrients critical to healthy skin.

Why PDO Threads Are Worth It

PDO threads lift and tighten the skin around the face and neck without expensive or risky surgery. The procedure can smooth out wrinkles and rejuvenate you in the following areas:

  • Saggy brows
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Chin folds
  • Neck folds
  • Nasolabial lines
  • Marionette lines
  • Saggy cheeks

The fast and safe thread lift procedure is FDA-approved and only takes about 45 minutes to complete. While the benefits start to kick in one to two weeks after your appointment, you can expect long-lasting results. According to the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the anti-aging effects of PDO threads can last for up to nine years in some instances.

Unlike facelifts, you’ll recover much quicker as well. Still, it’s important to avoid extreme temperatures, which we can experience here in Georgia in the summertime. If you have the procedure done at that time of year, make sure to avoid the scorching sun for seven days.
