PDO Threads FAQs
1. What are PDO threads?
PDO threads are absorbable medical-grade threads placed beneath the skin to create a subtle lifting and tightening effect while supporting collagen production.
2. What areas can PDO threads treat?
Common areas include the cheeks, jawline, jowls, nasolabial folds, brows, and neck. The appropriate areas depend on your anatomy and treatment goals.
3. How long does the treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the number and type of threads used, but many treatments can be completed within 30–60 minutes.
4. Is there downtime?
Most patients can return to light daily activities relatively quickly. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and tightness are common temporarily. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions.
5. When will I see results?
Some lifting may be noticeable immediately, while the skin-tightening and collagen-supporting effects develop gradually over the following weeks.
6. How long do PDO thread results last?
Results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as age, skin quality, lifestyle, and the type of threads used. Effects may last several months to around a year or longer in some patients.
7. Are PDO threads permanent?
No. PDO threads are designed to gradually dissolve. The collagen your body produces around the threads can help maintain some of the improvement after the threads themselves have dissolved.
8. Are PDO threads painful?
A local anesthetic is typically used to help make the procedure more comfortable. You may experience some pressure, pulling, or tenderness during and after treatment.
9. Am I a good candidate for PDO threads?
PDO threads may be appropriate for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a nonsurgical lifting option. A consultation is necessary to determine whether they're right for you.
10. What should I expect after treatment?
You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, soreness, tightness, or mild asymmetry. Following your provider's aftercare instructions can help support a smooth recovery.
11. Can PDO threads replace a facelift?
No. PDO threads provide a more subtle, nonsurgical lift and are not intended to produce the same degree of correction as surgical facelift procedures.
12. How many threads will I need?
There is no one-size-fits-all number. The amount depends on the treatment area, degree of laxity, facial anatomy, skin quality, and your desired results. A personalized treatment plan is created during your consultation.
