Pdo Thread Lift
PDO thread lifts are a minor and minimally invasive alternative to a facelift. This thread lift technique produces immediate results, while also stimulating long term collagen production.
How Does Pdo Thread Lift Work?
What is PDO Thread Lift
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a flexible and durable absorbable polymer. PDO threads come in three main textures. Mono, a single, smooth thread, provides a small lift. Cog, a barbed thread, lifts the tissue and encourages collagen. Screw is one or two intertwined threads, which can also provide volume augmentation. Mono is good for skin tightening, whereas cog and screw provide more lift and volume.
A PDO thread lift is designed to subtly lift the facial features to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while encouraging collagen production for more volume in the treated areas. PDO threads come in a variety of textures for customized treatments.
A thread lift is a nonsurgical procedure that lifts and tightens your skin while stimulating your body’s collagen production for a younger look. A thread lift procedure has a quick recovery with minimal to no complications.

The Science Behind Pdo Threads?
PDO threads have been been used in surgeries since the 1980s. They're made from a colorless polyester that breaks down in your body after about 4 to 6 months. The presence of these sutures in your skin triggers cells in your body called fibroblasts to produce more collagen.
It is the placement of the threads themselves that trigger your skin to produce new collagen, the protein that keeps your skin smooth and tight. As your skin slowly absorbs the thread in the coming months, it’s replaced by a new network of collagen. This means the results from a PDO thread lift can last a year or more.
If your schedule doesn’t allow for a postoperative recovery period, you’ll be glad to know there’s another skin-lifting treatment you can consider.
Pinky Promise Beauty offers nonsurgical facelifts with polydioxanone (PDO) threads at our offices. PDO thread lift can rejuvenate your skin with an outpatient treatment that comes with next-to-no downtime. It’s ideal for people with a busy schedule.
Treatment Areas
ACNE THREAD LIFT
Effectively treats acne and scarring with PDO Threads. The underlying scar area improves by the threads injected as well as the 25 - 30%additional collagen created in placement of the threads. This is achieved by cross-hatching or other method to create a mesh under the affected acne scar area which not only plumps these depressed scars but also creates healthy and more elastic skin. In addition, subcision is achieved by the placement of the PDO threads breaking contracted collagen bands which releases the scars and the new collagen created by the threads allow for the remodeling of the collagen within the tissues. The results from this non-invasive treatment is also immediate but the improvement post-procedure is dramatic.
Results: 1-3 years
Procedure Time: Usually 20 - 30 minutes
BROW THREAD LIFT
PDO Threads is commonly used to create a brow lift in patients who desire a specific look or change to their present brow appearance.

This safe, minimally invasive procedure produces immediate results and the brow revision continues to improve post procedure promoting additional lift and healthier tissue. Consultation between physician and patient is important as results may vary slightly due to the present natural look of your brows and anatomy of the face.
Results: last 18-24 months
Procedure Time: Approximately 45 minutes - 1 hour
UNDER EYE FILLING
PDO Threads are commonly used for eye hollows (tear trough volumizing) to provide smoothing and adding volume into tissues while creating increased tightening across the area. The procedure is used for the improvement or elimination of tear troughs, dark circles, or in smoothing wrinkling under the eyes. This treatment will differ in results based upon the severity of the aesthetic indication and anatomy of the patient but is a great alternative and superior to injectable dermal fillers by creating additional collagen and pulling surrounding tissues under the eye to create a smooth, youthful appearance under the eyes.

PDO threads allow for better tissue integration and volumizing tissues to instantly improve extending smile lines. In addition, PDO threads will drastically decrease or eliminate smile line wrinkling and continues to give additional improvements post procedure. The treatment involves an array of various types of threads to cross hatch create a mesh formation limiting the ability of the skin to create extended creases while smiling and providing a more smoother appearance.
