What are PDO thread lifts, and how can they address skin laxity?
At Kirsch Dermatology, we know you have a lot of choices to make when it comes to anti-aging products and services. We are here to help you choose the ones that are best suited to your unique needs. One treatment becoming increasingly popular with our patients in the Naples, Florida area is the PDO thread lift, sometimes called “PDO threads.” This aesthetic service provides short-term results in achieving a more youthful look by lifting any sagging skin and increasing the skin’s natural collagen production. Let’s take a closer look at PDO threads and how they work to improve your appearance.
What is a PDO thread lift?
The PDO thread lift is best described as a non-surgical, minimally-invasive procedure that involves the insertion of reabsorbable surgical sutures into specific areas of the face to lift and tighten the skin. These sutures are made from polydioxanone or poly-p-dioxanone (PDO), which is a biodegradable polymer that is safe and absorbable. These dissolvable suture threads are placed by a professional into the subdermal layer of the skin to ensure the boosted collagen production. This procedure often increases both the firmness and the elasticity of the skin, reducing the overall appearance of skin laxity that contributes to fine lines and wrinkles.
Are PDO threads safe?
PDO threads, known as “dissolvable sutures,” are considered safe and have been used in medicine for years. They are effective and safe to use on the facial area for cosmetic purposes, lasting approximately one year. Research has shown that PDO threads can increase local microcirculation, hyaluronic acid, and collagen.
Am I a good candidate for PDO thread lifts?
At Kirsch Dermatology of Naples, Florida, we encourage men and women looking for anti-aging treatments to ask our team about PDO thread lifts to determine if they are proper candidates. Most of our patients who undergo PDO threads are healthy, over the age of 40, and are interested in addressing moderate skin laxity contributing to an aged appearance. A consultation appointment at our office is the best way to learn more about this procedure and if this, or other treatments, are suited for your aesthetic goals.
