What are PDO threads?

PDO threads are FDA-approved, safe, biodegradable threads that lift and tighten your skin without surgery. Your provider places these threads in strategic areas underneath the skin to create flawless beauty from within with little recovery time and a low risk of complications. 

What are the benefits of PDO threads?

PDO threading may provide the following anti-aging benefits:

• Lifted skin
• Tighter, smoother skin
• Increased collagen and elastin production
• Firmer, supple skin
• Younger-looking appearance
• Reduced tissue laxity
• Less tissue sagging 

PDO thread lifts are much less invasive than surgical facelifts. The treatment is simple yet produces dramatic results for your face and neck.

Who is a candidate for PDO threads?

Your Beauty Bar 54 specialist determines if PDO threads are right for you. They discuss your goals, review your medical history, and examine your skin. Thread lifts are generally a good match for people in their late 30s to early 50s experiencing early signs of aging who want to avoid invasive procedures. The results of PDO threads are more subtle than a surgical facelift.

What should I expect when receiving PDO threads?

Before PDO threading procedures, you receive local anesthesia to avoid any discomfort. Your provider also cleans your skin. They use a thin needle to insert threads underneath your skin while you relax. They then secure the threads in place. PDO threading procedures often last about an hour. 

What happens after a PDO thread procedure?

You can resume typical daily activities after receiving PDO threads, but you might want to take it easy the rest of the day. You may experience swelling and bruising around the treatment area for up to five days. 

Apply ice packs to minimize swelling and maximize comfort after the procedure. Avoid washing your face, exercising vigorously, or using makeup or moisturizers until given the okay by your Beauty Bar 54 specialist. Take antibiotics and sleep in a propped up position initially after receiving PDO threads if asked to.

The results of PDO threads typically last 1-3 years. Repeat treatments provide long-lasting, youthful beauty.
