Polydioxanone (PDO) Thread
Unveil Youthful Beauty With PDO Threads in Houston
Experience the transformative power of Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads at SHE Aesthetics, your premier destination in Houston for non-surgical facelift solutions. Our advanced PDO thread lift treatments are designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, redefine facial contours, and restore a youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
What Is a Polydioxanone (PDO) Thread Lift?
A PDO thread lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift your skin. It’s a less invasive procedure than facelift surgery and can often be performed in under 45 minutes without needing to go under a scalpel.
Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifts use a biodegradable polyester suture. They’re best suited for rejuvenating your skin while some newer types of thread lifts are better at lifting sagging skin.
What Makes PDO Threads Different?
Because different threads are designed for different purposes, your provider may recommend one type or a combination of thread styles based on your goals.
PDO LIFTING THREADS
Designed to provide support and a lifting effect in targeted areas. These threads are commonly used when the goal is to enhance facial contours and create a more lifted appearance.
PDO SMOOTH THREADS
Smooth threads are primarily used for collagen stimulation rather than mechanical lifting. They can be strategically placed to support overall skin quality and firmness.
PDO SCREW / TWISTED THREADS
Twisted configurations can provide additional structure and surface area while supporting collagen stimulation. They may be incorporated into customized treatment plans for areas requiring additional support.
PDO COG THREADS
Barbed or cogged threads are designed to engage tissue and provide greater mechanical support. They may be used for targeted lifting and contouring when clinically appropriate.
PDO COMBINATION TREATMENTS
For some patients, combining different thread configurations allows your provider to address multiple concerns within one treatment plan—for example, combining lifting threads with smooth threads for both contouring and collagen stimulation.
HOW LONG DO PDO THREADS LAST?
PDO threads are absorbable and gradually break down within the body. The longevity of visible aesthetic results varies depending on the type and number of threads used, treatment area, individual anatomy, skin quality, lifestyle, and the body’s response to treatment.
Your provider can discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
What Areas of the Face Can a PDO Thread Lift Treat?
PDO threads can be customized for a variety of facial areas, including:
Jawline
Cheeks
Lower Face
Jowls
Nasolabial Area
Marionette Area
Brows
Neck
Treatment areas depend on your individual anatomy, skin quality, and the specific thread technique being used.
WHAT CAN PDO THREADS HELP WITH?
PDO thread treatments may be used to improve the appearance of:
- Mild skin laxity
- Facial contour
- Jawline definition
- Jowling
- Cheek definition
- Brow position
- Skin firmness
- Fine lines and texture
- Overall facial definition
PDO threads are generally best suited for patients seeking subtle to moderate improvement rather than the degree of lifting associated with surgical procedures.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT
Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, or asymmetry can occur following treatment. Depending on the treatment area and technique, some patients may also experience temporary dimpling or visible/palpable irregularities as the tissues settle.
Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions, including guidance regarding facial movements, pressure on the treatment area, exercise, and skincare during the initial recovery period.
