Polydioxanone (PDO) threads can be a great minimally invasive alternative to a surgical face lift for people who aren’t yet in need or surgery or who can’t afford the downtime. During this non-surgical facelift treatment option, PDO threads are placed into the desired areas to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure stimulates natural collagen production.
The goal of this non-surgical PDO thread facelift is to reposition facial, neck, cheek and or brow tissues to restore and rejuvenate youthful proportions and appearances to the face. During the treatment, you will be given a local anesthetic. The PDO threads will then be inserted under the skin. The sutures from the insertion begin the lifting process. The procedure will be completed in about 90 minutes; you’ll have a brief recovery period, and you’ll then be able to drive yourself home.
Since the PDO threads stimulate collagen production, a part of the process is your care plan during healing. We’ll give you detailed instructions on how to enhance the healing process, and what to avoid for a few weeks. It’s not complicated, and you’ll be able to follow the steps easily.
