PDO Threading

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Tualatin and Portland, Oregon

PDO threading is a new procedure that uses a natural protein called hyaluronic acid to restore volume to your face and help improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in our office and takes just a few hours. With PDO threading, clinics use an implant made of thin threads to tighten and contour your face.

About PDO Threads

PDO threads are a non-surgical alternative to injectables and dermal fillers, can be performed at our medspa in minutes with no downtime.

The treatment uses a thread made of polydioxanone (PDO) to tighten and contour your face. The threads insert into the skin through tiny incisions, then tightened and anchored using a particular device.

The threads remain in place and stimulate collagen production where it stays, which causes new tissue to grow.

The results can last from one to two years, depending on how quickly your body breaks down the material.

PDO Mono Threads

PDO mono threads are smooth sutures that help your skin rejuvenate by stimulating collagen production.PDO Screw Threads

PDO screw threads are made of one or two strands and are used to fill out hollow areas of your skin.

Treatment Areas

Providers use PDO threads on the face, neck, and décolletage. The provider will use a series of small incisions to place threads in your face.

The process allows the treatment provider to gently lift tight facial tissue and create a smooth, youthful contour.

Safety Concerns

While PDO threads are generally safe, they come with some risks. Most people experience swelling and bruising due to the procedure — and those symptoms tend to resolve within a few days or weeks.

If you have severe allergies or an autoimmune disorder, your doctor may not be able to perform this procedure on you.

Although doctors consider PDO threads are safe, there are still minor complications that can happen, such as:

  • visible sutures
  • pain
  • bruising
  • infection
  • snapping of threads
  • hematoma
  • inflammation
  • skin abnormalities
  • hair loss
  • salivary gland injury

Benefits

PDO threading offers several benefits over other types of cosmetic procedures. For example, it’s less invasive than surgery, takes less time than laser treatments, and doesn’t require any downtime after the procedure.

Some of its other benefits include the following:

  • Hyaluronic acid reduces skin on the face, neck, and chest area.
  • Removing lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes eliminates signs of aging.
  • Tightening loose skin in the neck for a sleeker and more sophisticated look.

Results

The results after starting treatment for two weeks straight are effective! However, the effects may last and vary up to two years. After that, you will need touch-ups every nine months as your skin rejuvenates and forms new collagen over time.

The thread is not a permanent implant and will eventually dissolve over time. When this happens, your body will start to produce its collagen again, and the results will slowly fade away.

Drawbacks

PDO threads are a relatively new procedure, so people didn’t give it much attention. The procedure is also not permanent. Since it’s not a surgical procedure, the results will last up to two years before they start to fade away.

In addition, here are some drawbacks you should bear in mind:

  • First, it’s plausible that you may experience redness and swelling after treatment, which should subside over time.
  • You may experience mild pain or tenderness in the treated areas.
  • There may also be bruising at the injection points where your doctor inserted the PDO threads into your skin.
