What are PDO threads?

PDO threads are threads made of polydioxanone, a strong synthetic fiber, which have been used successfully in medicine for many years as surgical sutures.

Polidoxanone is a safe medical material that meets all safety requirements. In the body, it stimulates the production of new collagen (provides elasticity, density and firmness of the skin), hyaluronic acid (ensures hydration and firmness of the skin), angiogenesis (the process of creating new blood vessels, thanks to which it is possible to supply the skin with nutrients) and stimulates fibroblasts to produce elastin (provides smoothness, firm, elasticity of the skin). These properties have been used in aesthetic medicine for several years – PDO threads are used to create nets that constitute the scaffolding for the above-mentioned proteins, which are produced until the threads dissolve and improve the appearance of the skin, giving the effect of a natural lifting.

What is the course of the procedure with the use of PDO threads? How does the treatment work?

The procedure involves inserting the thread with a guide needle, needle-cannula or cannula under the appropriate areas of the skin, creating a mesh that will serve as a scaffold for the emerging proteins.

The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes and is performed after anesthesia of the treatment area with anesthetic cream.

Are the effects of PDO threads immediate? How long does it take to get the final results?

The first effects can be observed immediately after the treatment, and after about 2 weeks, the process of collagen and elastin production begins. This process lasts until the thread dissolves (approx. 180-240 days), and the effect of the treatment lasts up to 24 months.

What does the skin look like immediately after the treatment with the use of PDO threads?

After the treatment, there may be swelling, bruises and pain.

When it is possible to return to daily activities?

The treatment with PDO threads is safe and minimally invasive. You can resume your daily activities on the same day, and any bruises and swelling should subside within the next 2 weeks.

It is also important that the payment is spread over time, which is an important factor for many clients.
