Frequently asked questions about PDO threads for the face and neck.
The signs of aging can impact both men and women emotionally. Elective plastic surgeries such as facelifts are growing in popularity as patients find ways to combat the unwanted appearance of lines and wrinkles across the face and neck. However, there are less invasive solutions for Southlake and Dallas, Texas, area patients to consider, including PDO threads for smile lines, necklines, and more. Below are a few frequently asked questions about PDO threads for the face and neck!
What are PDO threads?
The L.A.B. Med Spa team describes PDO threads as synthetic absorbable surgical sutures made from polydioxanone, a material commonly used in surgeries. These threads are inserted into the skin and then pulled tightly to create a lifting effect on the face or neck.
How do PDO threads work to turn back the hands of time?
PDO threads stimulate collagen production in the skin, which addresses skin elasticity and firmness. The threads also support sagging skin, resulting in a lifted appearance. As the body naturally absorbs the threads over time, it stimulates collagen production, giving long-lasting results.
What areas of the face and neck can be treated with PDO threads?
PDO threads treat various face and neck areas, including the brows, cheeks, jawline, and neck. They also reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the mouth.
Are PDO threads safe to use?
PDO threads are usually considered very safe when performed by a trained and experienced medical professional. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there may be risks involved, such as bruising or infection. It is important to consult with a qualified provider before undergoing any treatment.
How long can I expect results from PDO threads?
Results from PDO thread treatments can last anywhere from 12-18 months. However, individual results may vary based on age, lifestyle habits, and skincare routine.
