PDO threads is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. This treatment uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are medical-grade threads injected into the skin through a tiny needle. Once in place, the threads act as a support structure for the tissue, promoting collagen production and resulting in a more youthful appearance. PDO threads can treat various face and body areas, including the cheeks, jawline, neck, arms, and abdomen.
PDO threads in Kerrville, TX, and Houston, TX, are appropriate for those wishing to enhance their looks without invasive surgery. Suitable individuals include those experiencing mild to moderate skin sagging and those who desire a natural-looking lift. Results are usually noticeable shortly after the procedure, with further improvement over the next few months as the production of collagen increases. The results can last up to 18 months, depending on the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle. Minimal downtime allows patients to resume their normal activities shortly after the treatment. If you want to enhance your looks using PDO Threads, book an appointment with Layton Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Kerrville, TX, and Houston, TX.

The PDO Threads process usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the parts being treated. The actual procedure is relatively quick, but the overall time, including preparation and post-treatment care instructions, can be longer.
PDO Threads can be combined with other beauty treatments, such as dermal fillers, Botox, and laser treatments, to achieve more comprehensive results. Consult your provider to determine the best combination for your aesthetic goals.
PDO Threads are safe when performed by a trained and experienced provider. They are made of polydioxanone, a material used in surgical sutures for many years and considered one of the safest materials used in the body.
After the treatment, strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and massaging the treated areas for at least a week are not advisable. Additionally, it would be best to avoid alcohol, smoking, and exposure to extreme temperatures.
The cost of PDO Threads vary depending on your location, the number of threads used, and the areas being treated. During your consultation, your provider will give you a detailed cost estimate based on your specific treatment plan.
A local anesthetic is applied to the target area during the treatment to minimize discomfort. You may experience tightness and minor discomfort during and after the procedure, which is usually temporary.
