PDO threads, also known as polydioxanone threads, provide you with a non-surgical and fast way to tighten your skin and make you look years younger.
And we have all heard the words “if it sounds too good to be true, then it simply cannot be true”.
But, it can be true, and we are here to tell exactly why, because PDO threads have given the aesthetic world something to celebrate and we are loving it.
Let’s chat about it.
The Science Behind PDO Threads
In layman’s terms, PDO threads are dissolvable threads (the fancy term is sutures) that are made from a biocompatible material and have been used in multiple medical procedures for decades due to their safety and efficacy.
When these threads (or sutures) are inserted into the deeper layers of your skin, they help lift your skin giving you that fresh facelift look without being frozen or having had to go under the knife.
Meaning, that PDO threads act as a scaffold that supports your tissues and triggers your body’s natural healing processes, and when we say they trigger your body’s natural healing process, we mean that these sensational threads stimulate collagen production!
Why is this so spectacular? Because collagen is a protein responsible for your skin’s elasticity and firmness, it sadly diminishes with age.
Therefore, by lifting your face and stimulating the production of collagen in the process is golden!
Immediate And Long-Lasting Results
One of the most compelling reasons for the popularity of PDO threads is the immediacy of its results. Patients often see a noticeable improvement right after their procedure, and who would not love that? This, of course, also makes getting PDO threads a super attractive non-surgical and aesthetic option (with minimal downtime) if you are a mom, a full-time employee, or simply just a very busy individual.
Additionally, the results of PDO threads are not merely superficial. As the dissolvable threads gradually disintegrate over several months, they continue to stimulate collagen production. This means that the benefits extend beyond the immediate lifting effect, offering a progressive enhancement in your skin texture and firmness that can last up to a whopping 2 years.
Amazing.
Non-Surgical And Minimally Invasive
More and more people are eager to enter the world of non-aesthetics treatments vs traditional surgical treatments, as non-surgical treatments are faster, minimally invasive and offer zero to super little downtime. Whereas surgical treatments require you to take minimum time off from work, are invasive and take months for you to recover.
Naturally, having said that certain surgical treatments can offer more drastic results, but if you are not in the market for something drastic, then why even venture down that avenue?
Our thoughts exactly.
PDO threads, being non-surgical in nature, fit perfectly into this paradigm. Unlike traditional facelifts, which require significant cutting, slicing, and dicing and come with higher risks, PDO threads are performed under local anaesthesia, and the recovery period is minimal. So much so, that most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
In regards to the procedure itself, it is relatively quick, and often completed within 45 minutes to an hour! Making it the perfect procedure to squeeze into lunchtime.
The entire PDO threads procedure also reduces the risk of scarring, bruising, and other complications associated with surgical interventions. This lower risk profile is a significant factor in the growing preference for PDO threads over more invasive cosmetic surgeries.
Versatility And Customisation
PDO threads are highly versatile and can be used to address a variety of aesthetic concerns across different areas of the face and body.
They are commonly used to lift sagging cheeks, to help define your jawline, reduce your nasolabial folds, and to help improve the appearance of your neck.
PDO threads can also be used for body contouring in areas such as your arms, thighs, and abdomen.
The ability to customise these treatments to meet your individual needs is another reason for their widespread appeal. Aestheticians can beautifully tailor the number, type, and placement of your PDO threads based on your specific concerns and desired outcomes. It is this customisation that helps ensure that you receive a personalised treatment plan that enhances your unique features and addresses your individual aesthetic goals.
Natural-Looking Results
A significant concern for many considering getting any type of aesthetic procedure is the fear of looking unnatural or overdone.
The stiff smile, the frozen face, the blown-back skin, and we can 100% understand that. That is yet another reason why PDO threads are the bee’s knees. They offer a more subtle and natural-looking enhancement compared to other treatments. Again, because these magical threads stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, the results gradually improve your skin’s appearance, preventing your neighbours from having to look twice at you as well.
This natural progression of results appeals to those who want to enhance their appearance without it being overly obvious that they have undergone any type of procedure. The subtlety of PDO threads makes it your secret to know, keep and enjoy.
Growing Popularity Among Celebrities And Influencers
The endorsement of PDO threads by celebrities and influencers has also played a significant role in their rising popularity. High-profile individuals sharing their positive experiences and showcasing their results on social media platforms have contributed to increased awareness and acceptance of this treatment. This visibility has helped to demystify the procedure and encourage more people to consider it as a viable option for their aesthetic needs.
In A Nutshell
PDO threads are all the rage and now we know why.
They have become all the rage due to their combination of immediate and long-lasting results, non-surgical nature, minimal downtime, versatility, customisation, and natural-looking outcomes.
As more people seek effective and less invasive options to enhance their appearance, the popularity of PDO thread lifts is likely to continue to grow. This innovative treatment represents a significant advancement in aesthetic medicine, offering a practical and appealing solution for those looking to achieve a rejuvenated and youthful look.
