Frequently asked questions about face, jowls, and neck PDO threads.
At Revive RX Med Spa in the Kansas City, Missouri, area, our team works with patients looking to reverse the signs of aging. While plastic surgery is often a go-to for many men and women, some early signs of aging and skin laxity can be easily corrected with less invasive procedures. At our clinic, let’s consider the benefits of PDO threads for jowls, the neck, and the face.
What exactly are PDO threads, and how do PDO threads work?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are best described as synthetic, absorbable sutures that have been used in medical procedures for several decades. In recent years, they have continued to gain popularity in the cosmetic industry for their use in minimally invasive facelifts and skin rejuvenation treatments. These threads are pulled taut after being injected into the patient’s skin with a tiny needle or cannula to tighten and lift sagging skin. The thread helps stimulate collagen production, improving the skin’s texture and firmness.
What areas are treatable using PDO threads?
PDO threads target various areas of the face, jowls, and neck. They are commonly used for facial contouring and lifting, including the cheeks, jawline, and eyebrows. PDO threads can also improve the appearance of sagging skin in the lower facial and neck areas.
What type of results can I expect from PDO thread treatments?
The results of PDO thread treatments may vary depending on certain factors, including the patient’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. Generally, our local patients can expect a noticeable improvement in skin tightness and texture within two to three weeks after treatment. As collagen production continues to increase over several months, the full effects of PDO threads may last up to a year or two.
