What Is PDO Threading?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threading is a simple cosmetic procedure for lifting and tightening loose skin. Dissolvable PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin to create a supportive framework.
Benefits of PDO Threading for Jowls
Here are the top benefits of PDO threading for jowls:
- Skin Tightening and Lifting: PDO threads enhance your natural face shape, treat laxity, and target problem areas like the cheeks, jowls, and neck.
- Collagen Stimulation: PDO sutures trigger fibroblasts in your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is important for keeping your skin firm and elastic. As we age, we lose collagen, which can make our skin look older.
- Less Invasive: PDO thread lifts are simpler than surgical facelifts. They usually require only local anesthesia and take about an hour. They have lower risks of complications and quicker recovery times.
- Natural-Looking Results: PDO threading provides subtle yet noticeable improvement in the appearance of jowls, without the need for invasive surgery or extensive downtime.
- Immediate Lift: While the full effects of PDO threading develop gradually as collagen production increases, many patients experience an immediate lifting effect after the procedure.
- Long-Lasting Results: Although PDO threads dissolve over time, the collagen stimulation they trigger can lead to long-lasting improvements in skin tightness and elasticity.
What to Expect During the Procedure
During a PDO threading session:
- We will apply a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Small incisions are made near the treatment area, through which the PDO threads are inserted.
- Once in place, the threads are gently tightened to lift and support the skin.
- We trim the excess thread and close the incisions.
- You can typically return to your daily activities immediately following the procedure, although some mild swelling or bruising may occur.
