PDO FAQs

PDO Thread Lifts are generally safe and well-tolerated, but like any procedure, there are potential side effects to be aware of. These can include swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, and the rare risk of infection or nerve damage. However, these side effects are typically mild and temporary, and most clients experience little to no downtime after the procedure.

The results of a PDO Thread Lift can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of thread used, the area treated, and the client’s skin type and lifestyle factors. Over time, the threads will dissolve, but the new collagen and other proteins will remain in the skin, providing a natural-looking lift and rejuvenation.

PDO Thread Lifts are minimally invasive procedures that require little to no downtime. Most clients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure, although some may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort for a few days. We recommend that clients avoid strenuous exercise and facial massages for at least 2 weeks after the procedure.

PDO Thread Lifts can be used on various areas of the face and body. The most common areas treated are the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, jowls, and marionette lines. PDO threads can also be used to lift and tighten the neck and jawline, smooth out wrinkles around the eyes, and lift sagging skin on the arms, abdomen, and thighs.

No, not all PDO threads are the same. There are different types of PDO threads, including mono threads, cog threads, and barbed threads. Each type of thread is designed for a specific purpose, and the type of thread used will depend on the area being treated and the desired outcome. At Diamond Works MedSpa, we use only the highest quality PDO threads to ensure the best possible results for our clients.

A PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses absorbable threads made of Polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten the skin. PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a fine needle, and they work by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin. As the threads dissolve over time, they leave behind a matrix of new collagen and other proteins that provide long-lasting results.
