PDO Thread Lift

PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lifts are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. This minimally invasive treatment involves inserting fine, dissolvable threads made of a biocompatible material (polydioxanone) into the skin. These threads have a dual effect: they immediately provide a subtle lift to the skin, while also stimulating the body's natural production of collagen and elastin. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind new collagen that helps to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and contoured appearance.

The Non-Surgical Secret to a Youthful Contour.

At Elite Medical Solutions, a PDO thread lift is a cutting-edge, non-surgical procedure designed to gently lift and tighten sagging skin. This treatment uses dissolvable threads to create an immediate lift while stimulating new collagen production for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Immediate Lifting Effect:

The threads provide an instant, physical lift to sagging skin, creating a more defined and youthful-looking contour right after the procedure.

Stimulates Natural Collagen Production:

The threads are made of a biocompatible material that, as it dissolves, triggers your body's natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin, leading to progressive and long-lasting improvements.

Minimally Invasive:

Unlike a surgical facelift, a PDO thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that involves no incisions, leaving no scars and reducing the risks associated with surgery.

Minimal Downtime:

The procedure is often called a "lunchtime lift" because it's quick and requires very little downtime. Most patients can return to their daily routine within 24 to 48 hours.

Natural-Looking Results:

The lift is subtle and designed to enhance your natural features. As the new collagen forms, your skin becomes firmer and more resilient, avoiding the "overdone" or "pulled" look of some cosmetic procedures.

Long-Lasting Effects:

While the threads dissolve in about six months, the new collagen they stimulate remains, with results often lasting for 12 to 18 months or even longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

The procedure is not considered painful. Before the treatment, a local anesthetic is applied to the areas where the threads will be inserted. This ensures the process is comfortable, and you will only feel a slight pressure or a mild tugging sensation as the threads are placed.

The immediate lifting effect is visible right after your treatment. However, the best results appear over the next two to three months as the threads stimulate new collagen production. While the threads themselves dissolve in about six months, the new collagen they stimulate can maintain your results for 12 to 18 months.

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. You may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or a feeling of tightness in the treated areas for a few days after your appointment. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within 24 to 48 hours.

You will see a subtle lifting effect immediately after your treatment. Your skin's texture and firmness will continue to improve gradually over the next few weeks and months as your body produces new collagen. Your final results will be fully visible after about three months.
