PDO smooth threads are the latest trend in esthetic injectable treatments for a youthful look. This cosmetic treatment involves the placement of smooth, absorbable threads underneath your skin. These threads stimulate and accelerate the production of your collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This delivers long-term benefits like reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Results appear over time, so it looks natural, and no one will suspect you had done anything.
PDO smooth threads involve smooth, absorbable threads placed underneath your skin. These threads contain polydioxanone (PDO). PDO is a biodegradable polymer that is slowly absorbed by your body with time. These threads stimulate and accelerate your collagen production. These treatments can be used in multiple areas or a single problem area.
WHO IS THE IDEAL ESTHETIC CANDIDATE?
PDO smooth threads are perfect for anyone looking for skin rejuvenation. This is an excellent treatment for young and old alike. For the younger patients, it will support collagen as it decreases to eliminate or reduce the production of aging wrinkles.
WHAT ESTHETIC RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
PDO smooth threads strengthen collagen in the skin and improve visible scarring that lasts up to 12 months, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
HOW FAST WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Esthetic results improve over time. The treatment typically consists of a series of three treatments and then re-evaluated if further treatment is needed. If you want to maintain results, treatment will be needed yearly.
ARE THE THREADS PERMANENT?
No, they are not permanent. The threads naturally dissolve over a few months, and during this time, they will stimulate fresh collagen. The collagen stimulation will deliver benefits long after they are broken down, with esthetic results typically lasting about 12 months.
HOW DO PDO SMOOTH THREADS ARE DIFFERENT FROM ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS?
Esthetic injections, like Botox, are still considered the standard treatment for quickly reducing wrinkles and fine lines. The two can work in combination to achieve even better results.
Dermal Filler injections, like Juvederm, restore lost volume and enhance esthetics by injecting hyaluronic acid beneath your skin. The hyaluronic acid replaces volume lost with age and enhances critical areas of your face, such as the lips and cheeks, and works to attract and bind water,improving elasticity and smoothing your skin. This is an excellent complimentary treatment to PDO smooth threads.
