How PDO Thread Lifts Work?
PDO Thread Lifts offer a unique approach to facial rejuvenation by utilizing polydioxanone (PDO) threads. These threads are made from a biocompatible material that dissolves safely over time within the body. The insertion techniques vary depending on the desired outcome, but they generally involve strategically placing the threads beneath the skin's surface. Tiny barbs on some threads anchor them to the underlying tissue, providing an immediate lifting effect. Smooth PDO threads, on the other hand, stimulate collagen production.
As the PDO threads degrade over time (typically within 4-6 months), they trigger the body's natural healing response. This process involves increased collagen production around the threads. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. The formation of new collagen strengthens and tightens the skin's framework, leading to long-lasting improvements in facial firmness and a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines. In the next section, we'll explore the benefits of PDO thread lifts and how they can achieve a natural-looking rejuvenation effect.
