Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS PDO THREAD LIFT?
PDO Thread Lift contracts fat tissue resulting in instant skin tightening, promoting collagen production and neovascularization to renew your skin at the cellular level. Giving you enhanced skin texture and fewer lines and wrinkles!
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE TREATMENT?
Before treatment starts, we will apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment site. The needle used during this treatment is so fine it will not cause any pain.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?
The PDO threads are inserted via blunt tip needles, called cannulas, or sharp-tipped needles. Once inserted into the appropriate layer of skin, they act as anchors as the skin is lifted upwards. Then, the excess threads are cut off.
ARE ALL PDO THREADS THE SAME?
There are several types of PDO threads, and each serves its own unique purpose. Depending on your aesthetic goals, your PDO provider may use one or many thread types during your anti-aging treatment.
WHAT TYPES OF PDO THREADS ARE THERE?
