What is a PDO thread lift?

A polydioxanone (PDO) thread lift is a procedure that places threads in areas of your face where skin sags. These threads are similar to stitches you would get after surgery, and they dissolve on their own.

The PDO threads trigger your body’s natural healing response and stimulate the growth of collagen and elastic that, over time, fill in areas of lost volume.

What can I expect during a PDO threads procedure?

This minimally invasive procedure requires no surgery or general anesthesia. 

Alchemy Wellness Medspa can use a local anesthetic to prevent discomfort. Your provider makes a tiny entry point near your ear and places the fine threads along the contours of your face. 

Once the threads are in place, you can return to normal activities. However, avoiding strenuous activity and exercises for up to three weeks is recommended to allow your skin time to heal. 

Your provider will give you care instructions to take care of your skin properly. You may experience temporary swelling and mild bruising that will resolve in a few days.

How long do the results of PDO threads last?

PDO threads can provide you long-lasting results, with many enjoying as long as three years of smoother, tighter skin. Results can vary depending on several factors, including:

• Your age
• Skin condition,
• Treatment location

Over time, sagging skin can return, and Alchemy Wellness Medspa may recommend maintenance treatments as needed to maintain your results.

Am I a good candidate for a PDO thread facelift?

A PDO thread lift is an ideal treatment for women over 40 and can benefit women as young as 70. You might be a good candidate for the procedure if you are in good overall health and want natural-looking results without the risks of surgery.

If you have sagging skin on your neck, cheek, or brows, Alchemy Wellness Medspa can use PDO threads to rejuvenate your skin, giving you plumper, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin.

A PDO thread facelift may be an effective alternative to Botox® treatments and other dermal fillers if you’re looking for longer-lasting results.
