PDO injection, also known as a PDO thread lift, is a cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift and rejuvenate sagging skin.
How PDO Injection Works
This procedure involves inserting Polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are completely safe and biocompatible, underneath the skin. Once inserted, these threads are then tightened and pulled back. This action effectively re-suspends areas of the skin that have begun to sag due to age or other factors. The result is a lifted, boosted, and more youthful appearance.
Key Aspects of PDO Injection
- Thread Material: The threads are made from PDO (Polydioxanone), a material that is both biocompatible and dissolvable, meaning it is safely absorbed by the body over time.
- Insertion Process: The threads are carefully inserted under the skin in strategic locations to achieve the desired lifting and tightening effect.
- Lifting Action: By pulling the threads back, the sagging skin is lifted, creating a more defined and rejuvenated look.
- Biostimulation: Beyond the initial lift, the threads also stimulate the body's natural collagen production, further improving skin texture and elasticity over time.
Benefits of PDO Injection
- Non-Surgical: It's a minimally invasive procedure that avoids the risks associated with surgery.
- Immediate Results: You can see a noticeable lift right after the procedure.
- Long-Lasting: The results can last for several months as the threads stimulate collagen production.
- Improved Skin Quality: It enhances skin tone, texture, and elasticity as collagen is stimulated.
What to Expect
Following a PDO thread lift, you can expect some swelling or bruising which typically subside quickly. There is minimal downtime, allowing most patients to quickly return to their daily activities.
In Conclusion
PDO injection is a cosmetic procedure utilizing dissolvable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin, giving a more rejuvenated appearance.
