PDO THREADS

WHAT IS A PDO THREAD LIFT?

A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical facelift where facial skin is lifted and tightened using Polydioxanone (PDO) threads. 

​

BENEFITS OF A PDO THREAD LIFT

A PDO thread lift provides instant skin lifting and stimulates collagen production and cellular renewal, improving your skin's texture for lasting results. For clients who do not want to undergo major surgery, the PDO thread lift can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

​

HOW LONG DOES A PDO THREAD LIFT LAST?

PDO threads typically dissolve within six months. However, due to the increase in collagen production, the positive effects of a PDO thread lift last between 12-24 months for most clients!

WHAT ABOUT RECOVERY TIME?

The PDO thread lift is minimally invasive, and therefore recovery time is short. Typically, clients resume regular activity within one week following the procedure. 

Recovery from a PDO thread lift is minimal. You may have some swelling and bruising for the first 24 to 48 hours but you can return to most of your daily routines right away.

​

You should avoid rubbing your face as much as possible the week after your procedure to avoid accidently dislodging the thread. You’ll also likely be advised to avoid pursing your lips, smoking, and drinking through a straw for the first several weeks.

Other activities you may want to avoid for 1 to 2 weeks include sleeping on your side, intense exercise, and visiting saunas.

Sleeping with your head propped on a pillow can help you avoid accidentally rolling onto your face during the middle of the night.
