PDO Threads
What You Should Know About PDO Thread Lift
The world of Aesthetics is finally embracing new technology with the introduction and popularization of PDO Thread Lifts. This treatment offers patients a safer alternative to traditional surgery, while also preventing scarring that can occur when performing facelift procedures or any other kind for this reason.
What Is PDO Thread Lift?
PDO thread lift not only results in instant skin lifting but also increases the collagen production vital for the renewing of the skin. The neovascularization helps renew cells to a new level for a younger and healthy-looking glow!
How Long Does It Take?
There are so many benefits that you can get from PDO thread lift like it only takes 30-60 minutes. You can go back and do whatever else you had planned for your day afterward!
What Can You Expect Before and During Treatment?
Some people feel a stinging or tingling sensation when their skin is being treated. You can avoid this by applying a topical numbing agent and local anesthetic before treatment starts so that you won’t experience any discomfort during the process.
When the anesthetic has taken effect, your treatment will begin. The PDO threads are inserted via blunt tip needles or sharp-tipped cannulas to ensure they’re safe and provide a stable anchor as the skin is lifted upwards with them still inside. Then the excess threading can be cut off without any problems at all.
Are All PDO Threads the Same?
Is the Treatment Safe?
This treatment is guaranteed safe and efficient. It has been FDA-approved, with hundreds of thousands of recorded procedures in its history without reports or side effects related to sensitivity or allergic responses.
What to Do Before and After Treatment?
You can avoid the discomfort associated with PDO thread lifts by giving yourself plenty of time to rest and prepare before your appointment. Please avoid the following two days or a day before your treatment:
- Alcohol
- Chinese medicine
- Ginko
- High-intensity workouts
- Omega fish oil supplements
- Steam rooms and saunas
- Vitamin E
