PDO Threads
PDO Threads
What are PDO threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures placed just under the skin to lift, tighten, and stimulate natural collagen production. Two main styles are used: smooth threads, which gradually firm and refine skin texture, and barbed lifting threads, which gently reposition mid-face, jowl, and neck tissue for a more rested, defined look.
Who threads are for
PDO threads are well suited to adults who want noticeable lift and improved skin quality without the cost or recovery of surgery. They work alongside neuromodulators and fillers, and can address early jowling, a softening jawline, neck laxity, or finer crepey areas of the face.
Your visit at La Vida
Your provider at La Vida Aesthetics & Wellness will review your concerns and map a thread plan tailored to your anatomy. The treatment is performed under local anesthetic in our Albuquerque, NM studio. Most clients return to normal activity within a day or two, with results that continue to refine over the following months as collagen builds. Threads are not permanent and can be refreshed every twelve to eighteen months as part of an ongoing plan.
FAQs
PDO Threads refer to Polydioxanone Threads, which are medical-grade sutures made from a bioabsorbable material called polydioxanone. These threads are commonly used in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
PDO Threads work by stimulating collagen production and providing structural support to the skin. When inserted into the targeted area, the threads create a lifting effect, improving the appearance of sagging skin and reducing the signs of aging.
PDO Threads offer several key benefits, including a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure that effectively lifts and tightens sagging skin, stimulates natural collagen production, provides long-lasting results, and requires minimal downtime and quick recovery.
