After topical numbing is applied to minimize any discomfort, PDO threads are inserted into the skin to stimulate collagen production and create a lifting and tightening effect. The threads are inserted using a fine needle or cannula into the deeper layers of the skin, and once in place, they provide immediate support and lift to sagging or loose skin. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve, but the effects of collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation can continue for several months after the treatment.
After receiving PDO threads, you may experience some minor sensitivity, swelling or redness in the treatment area. However, these side effects should fade within a few weeks. Fortunately, there is very little downtime required after your PDO threads are inserted. You will be able to resume most normal activities immediately after your appointment.
