However, you don’t necessarily need to go under the knife to make yourself look younger. With thread PDO lifts, you’re able to almost instantly transform your appearance tightening loose skin, smoothing out wrinkles and reducing the visible signs of aging.  
 
What are thread PDO lifts?
A PDO thread treatment consists of having thin, dissolvable threads surgically injected under your skin. These help fill in loose skin, lifting wrinkles and giving your skin a more youthful appearance. 
 
First, your doctor will use a numbing agent to desensitize your skin. Then, he or she will use a very thin needle to insert the threads into the upper layer of your skin. 
 
Once the thread is positioned properly, the needle is removed and at this point, the threads will already be pushing against your skin and you should instantly be able to see a noticeable difference. 
 
Overall, the procedure is relatively short and can be completely in less than 20 minutes. Initially, patients should be able to see a slight increase in volume, as well as a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. However, it may take several months for the full effects to begin showing themselves. 
 
Now, let’s look at some of the benefits of thread PDO treatments. 
 
Non-Invasive
The procedure is relatively non-invasive and will see you walking out of the office without any noticeable signs that you’ve undergone any type of cosmetic procedure. This makes the procedure excellent for people who don’t want others knowing about it.
 
Furthermore, since the threads are only inserted into the top layer of skin where there are very few nerve endings, the treatment is relatively pain-free. Therefore, patients may decide to undergo the procedure without any numbing agents, however, they are usually available for those who would be more comfortable with it. 
 
Safe and Slow Absorption
The procedure is safe and to date, thread PDO lifts have not been known to cause any type of allergic reactions. Furthermore, the threads are non-toxic and have been used in medicine for roughly 30 years in treating and closing wounds, as well as in cosmetic surgery and gynecology.  
 
Anywhere between 6 and 12 months after the procedure, the PDO threads are metabolized and completely absorbed by your body. 
 
Immediate Results
Most patients are able to see a noticeable difference immediately after they’ve undergone the procedure. However, while some of the effects may be noticeable right away, it can take anywhere between 2 to 3 months for new collagen to form and the full effects to become visible. 
 
Long-Lasting 
It takes about 6 full months for the threads to dissolve and be fully absorbed by your body. However, the results have been known to last for no less than 2 years. This is because the procedure stimulates your body’s natural healing process, which causes your skin to begin producing new collagen and elastin. Therefore, even though the threads will be completely dissolved within a few months, PDO lifts are known to provide both effective, and long-lasting results.  
 
Customizable Treatments
PDO threads are available in a variety of sizes. This means that the procedure can be tailored to address a patient’s individual needs. For example, thinner, mono-threads can be used for restoring volume, as well as rejuvenating the skin on a person’s cheeks and chin. Whereas, thicker threads are ideal for lifting and holding sagging skin on a person’s jowls and neck. 
 
Keeps Your Skin Looking Young
The use of PDO threads has been shown to stimulate the production of new collagen in your skin. This increase reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and gives your skin and healthy, more youthful appearance. 
 
At the same time, the threads stimulate your skin to begin synthesizing elastin and hyaluronic acid, which are crucial when trying to achieve a more youthful appearance. 
 
Can Be Combined with Other Procedures
The use of PDO threads can be combined with dermal fillers to help address volume loss, as well as sagging skin caused by aging. This means that you’ll be able to take a more complete approach to reversing and reducing the signs of aging. 
 
Affordable
Of course, the cost of the procedure will vary depending on a number of factors. However, when you compare the cost to other procedures such as surgery, thread PDO lifts are a much more affordable alternative.
