Threads
What
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a type of non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to lift and tighten the skin. They are made of a biodegradable material and are commonly used in various medical fields, such as surgery and cardiology.
How
DO threads can be used to treat a range of concerns, including sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. The treatment is relatively quick and does not require any downtime, although some minor swelling or bruising may occur.
When
PDO threads are inserted under the skin using a needle or cannula. Once inserted, the threads create a supportive structure that lifts and tightens the skin. The threads also stimulate the production of collagen, which further improves skin quality over time.
Pre-treatment
-
Schedule your Threads appointment at least 6 months prior to a special event, such as a wedding or a vacation to allow for complete healing.
​
-
Results will be immediate but will gradually take to 6 months to have full effect. Also bruising and swelling may be apparent in that time period.
​
-
Avoid blood thinners prior to treatment. Patients that bruise easily or take blood thinners may take longer to heal. Please be patient.
​
-
Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment (alcohol may cause bruising).
​​
-
To minimize the risk of bruising you may take Arnica or Bromelain.
​
Post-Treatment
