Introduction
As we age, the skin on our face and body may start to sag and lose its firmness, leaving us tired and worn out. While some people may turn to invasive surgical procedures to combat this, others may not want to undergo such systems due to the associated risks and long recovery times. Fortunately, there is now a minimally invasive procedure called PDO (polydioxanone) threads that can help to lift, tighten, and contour the skin without surgery. At Bella Rose Aesthetics, we offer this innovative treatment that can make you look and feel younger without going under the knife. This article will delve deeper into PDO threads, how they work, their benefits, and whether they are safe for use.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are dissolvable surgical sutures that are made from a synthetic polymer called polydioxanone. This material has been used for many years in various medical procedures, including surgery, due to its biodegradable and biocompatible properties. PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a needle or cannula, and once in place, they work by gently lifting and tightening the skin.
PDO threads can treat face and body areas, including the cheeks, chin, neck, jowls, and abdomen. They can also treat fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. Depending on the treated area and the desired outcome, the threads are available in different lengths, thicknesses, and types.
The procedure is relatively quick and straightforward, with minimal discomfort and downtime. After the threads have been inserted, the body’s natural healing process will kick in, causing collagen production to increase. This, in turn, helps to improve the skin’s texture and firmness, resulting in a more youthful appearance. The treatment results can last up to 12-24 months, depending on skin type, age, and lifestyle habits. With proper skincare, the non-surgical facelift with PDO Threads can look fresh and young for 12-24 months.
Benefits of PDO Threads
PDO thread lift treatment offers several benefits, including:
- Instant lifting, tightening, and contouring: PDO threads provide an immediate lift and tightening effect to the treated area, resulting in a more defined and youthful appearance.
- Rejuvenation of the skin: The treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve the skin’s texture and firmness, resulting in a more youthful-looking appearance.
- Increased circulation and hydration: PDO threads can help improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage, leading to better skin hydration and nourishment.
- Reduction of wrinkles: PDO threads can help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother and more youthful appearance.
- Improvement of skin tone: PDO threads can help to improve skin tone, making it look more even and radiant.
- Long-lasting results: The results of PDO thread treatment can last for up to 12-24 months, making it a durable and cost-effective option.
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive: PDO thread treatment is minimal, meaning there is little to no downtime and does not require general anesthesia or a lengthy recovery period.
PDO threads offer an effective and safe alternative to traditional surgical facelifts, providing similar results without the associated risks and downtime. However, it is essential to note that the effectiveness of the treatment may vary from person to person, and it is necessary to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner to perform the procedure.
Is PDO Thread Treatment Safe?
PDO thread treatment is generally considered safe for most people when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. The procedure involves the use of biocompatible and biodegradable sutures that are naturally absorbed by the body over time.
While minor side effects such as bruising, swelling, and tenderness around the treated area are common, these side effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days to a week after the procedure. It is also possible for patients to experience some discomfort during the process, which can be managed with topical anesthesia or other forms of pain relief.
In rare cases, complications can occur after PDO thread treatment. These may include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, or asymmetry of the treated area. However, these risks can be minimized by choosing a qualified practitioner who follows strict safety protocols and guidelines.
To ensure your safety during PDO thread treatment, you must disclose your medical history and any medications you take to your practitioner before the procedure. This includes any history of autoimmune disorders, allergies, or bleeding disorders. Your practitioner will also provide detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions to help you minimize the risk of complications and ensure a smooth recovery.
