Cosmetic augmentations are becoming increasingly widespread as technology and medical safety regulations improve. This is due to the greater availability of professionals and a wider range of aesthetic treatments. PDO threads are one method that has gained and continues to gain popularity. Let's start with PDO threads and how they can help you.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO threads, which have been used in medicine for many years, are gaining popularity in the world of aesthetics because they produce instant skin lifting, tighter skin, and increase collagen production. The initials PDO stand for the substance 'polydioxanone,' which is used to make the threads. PDO comes in two variations: barbed and non-barbed. Barbed PDO threads are durable treads with a lot more pulling power. Non-barbed PDO threads are ideal for light liftings, such as skin tightening when the skin does not require as much lifting.
PDO Threads work by first being inserted under the skin where it anchors and lifts upwards. After being pulled through, the barbs on the threads will attach and the definition will be restored to the skin.
The PDO threads themselves will dissolve after 6 months, however, the effects of the treatment can last up to 2 years.
