PDO THREADS IN LOS ANGELES AND BEVERLY HILLS

PDO Threads used during a threadlift are made of polydioxanone (PDO). This surgical material is perfect for threadlift sutures as it naturally dissolves within the body and stimulates collagen production over a period of time. Not only does this mean that the structures within the face are lifted, but it also means that the results of your threadlift will continue to get better over the next six months following your treatment session.

A PDO Thread threadlift is a long-lasting, minimally invasive solution for patients who desire the look of a facelift without the general anesthesia, cutting, and scarring. This treatment typically provides patients with their desired results for up to two years following their initial treatments. These results can be further maintained with additional non-surgical rejuvenation treatments like dermal fillers and injectables.

Because your PDO Thread lift will be performed using a local anesthetic, the procedure itself will be very comfortable. Following your PDO threadlift, it's normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness around your treated areas. These side effects generally resolve on their own within a week or two of treatment. Most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities, including work, within a day of their PDO Thread lift treatment.

After your threadlift, Dr. Berger and his team will ask that you ice your treated areas often and keep your head elevated as you sleep for the first three to five days of your recovery period. Patients can resume wearing makeup after 24 hours and return to their normal exercise routine after about two weeks. While you will see some results of your PDO threadlift immediately, ultimate results will appear once all swelling subsides, and collagen production begins to build. This happens about three to six months following your treatment.

Patients are able to follow up with regular threadlift treatments when they find that their results have faded, and their threads have fully dissolved. Most patients are satisfied with the results of their initial PDO threadlift treatment for 18-24 months following their treatment. Dr. Berger and his team may ask that you wait at least 12 months before considering receiving another PDP Thread lift.

PDO threads can move slightly after insertion due to the bodys natural movements and muscle contractions, but they are designed to remain in place once they have been anchored to the tissue. PDO threads are made from a biocompatible material that is gradually absorbed by the body over time, which allows for new collagen production to help support the lifted tissues. Proper placement by an experienced practitioner can help minimize the risk of thread movement.

PDO threads can be removed by an experienced practitioner using a small incision or needle to access the thread and pull it out. However, removal of the threads is not recommended unless there is a medical need or complication, as the threads are designed to dissolve over time and the lifting effect will gradually diminish. Its important to discuss any concerns about PDO thread removal with a qualified practitioner.

PDO threads can cause some minor scar tissue formation around the insertion point, but this is typically minimal and not noticeable. In fact, the insertion of PDO threads can actually stimulate collagen production, which can help improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Any potential risks or side effects should be discussed with an experienced practitioner before undergoing treatment.

PDO threads can be an effective treatment option for individuals seeking to lift and tighten sagging skin in various areas of the face and body. The threads help to stimulate collagen production, which can improve skin texture and volume over time. However, the effectiveness of PDO threads can vary depending on individual factors, such as the extent of the sagging and the skill of the practitioner performing the procedure.

PDO threads are a type of dissolvable suture made of polydioxanone material that are inserted into the skin to create a lifting and tightening effect. The threads stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure to the skin, which helps to enhance skin elasticity and firmness over time. As the threads dissolve, the new collagen continues to support the lifted appearance of the skin.

The longevity of a thread lift procedure can vary depending on factors such as the individuals skin condition and the number of threads used during the procedure. On average, the results of a PDO thread lift can last between 6-18 months. After this time, a touch-up procedure may be needed to maintain the lifted and tightened appearance.

The frequency at which one can have a PDO thread lift procedure may depend on the individuals skin condition and the number of threads used in the previous procedure. Generally, it is recommended to wait at least 6 months before having another thread lift procedure. This allows time for the skin to fully heal and for the results of the previous procedure to fully manifest before having another treatment.

PDO threads are made of a synthetic material called polydioxanone. This material is biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning that it is safe for use in the body and will eventually dissolve naturally over time. The threads are designed to stimulate collagen production in the skin, which helps to create a lifting and tightening effect that enhances the appearance of the skin.
