PDO threads

PDO Threads

PDO threads, also known as polydioxanone threads, are used in a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. They dissolve over time and stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and texture. PDO thread lifting is popular for facial rejuvenation, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.

PDO Threading in Louisville, KY

Jefferson County's Experienced Medical Aesthetic Professionals

Threads come in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes and can be tailored to meet individual needs. Threads provide a non-surgical treatment alternative and provide two general results:

Lifting Effect

Immediately lifts and smooths sagging skin for a more youthful appearance

Enhances facial features by providing support where volume has been lost

Reduces the visibility of deep-set wrinkles

Collagen Stimulation

Strengthens the skin's structure by promoting natural collagen production

Improves skin elasticity and firmness

PDO threads, FDA-approved for safety, offer lasting effects up to a year or more and dissolve within weeks. Treatment typically spans 30-90 minutes, with costs varying based on the types of threads used and treatment areas. They can also complement other facial services like laser treatments, microdermabrasion, and microneedling for enhanced results.
