PDO Threads
PDO Threads, also known as thread lifts, are a cutting-edge, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable threads made of Polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are carefully inserted under the skin to stimulate collagen production and create a natural lifting effect, enhancing facial contours and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. PDO Threads provide long-lasting results with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for those seeking a non-invasive facelift and overall skin rejuvenation.
Getting the most of your PDO Threads
Before Getting PDO Threads
Before undergoing PDO thread treatment, customers can expect to have an initial consultation with a qualified medical professional at Strella Medical Aesthetics. During this consultation, the practitioner will evaluate the customer’s medical history, discuss their aesthetic goals, and assess the areas that need treatment. The customer will have the opportunity to ask questions, understand the procedure, and express any concerns they may have. The practitioner will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications and skincare products, as well as following any specific guidelines to prepare for the procedure.
During PDO Threads
On the day of the PDO thread treatment, the customer will arrive at Strella Medical Aesthetics prepared for the procedure. The practitioner will cleanse and numb the treatment area to ensure the customer’s comfort throughout the process. PDO threads will then be strategically inserted into the skin using fine needles. The threads are placed under the skin to lift and tighten the targeted areas. The procedure usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment. Customers can expect minimal discomfort during the procedure, thanks to the numbing cream used.
After Getting PDO Threads
Following the PDO thread treatment, customers may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated areas. These effects are generally temporary and should subside within a few days to a week. The practitioner will provide post-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous activities and certain skincare products for a specified period. The customer should follow these instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects. Results from PDO thread treatments are typically noticeable immediately, with ongoing improvement as the threads stimulate collagen production. Over the next several months, customers can expect firmer, lifted skin and a rejuvenated appearance.
How Does It work?
PDO threads work by utilizing biodegradable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), a material that has been used for medical sutures for many years. The threads are carefully inserted into the skin using a fine needle in specific areas where lifting or tightening is desired. Once inserted, the threads act as a support structure, gently pulling the skin upwards and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
As time passes, the PDO threads naturally dissolve within the skin, but their initial effects persist as the collagen and elastin continue to develop around them. This process promotes skin rejuvenation and tightening, leading to a firmer and more lifted appearance. PDO threads can be used to lift sagging skin on the face, neck, and other areas of the body, providing a non-surgical and minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelifts.

Should I Get Botox Injections?
Whether or not to get Botox injections is a personal decision, and several factors should be considered before making a choice. Here are some key points to help you decide:
- Ensure you are in good overall health and have no allergies to botulinum toxin or related ingredients.
- Understand that Botox provides temporary results and requires maintenance treatments for prolonged effects.
- Consider whether the improvements achieved through Botox align with your aesthetic goals and desired outcomes.
- If you are bothered by the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle movements, Botox may be a suitable option to address these dynamic wrinkles.
Type Of POD Threads
- Smooth Threads: These are fine threads used to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone. They are often used for treating fine lines and wrinkles, as well as for overall skin rejuvenation.
- Barbed Threads: These threads have small barbs or cogs along their length, which provide a stronger lifting effect when inserted into the skin. Barbed threads are commonly used to lift sagging skin in areas such as the cheeks, jowls, and neck.
- Screw Threads: These threads have a helical shape, which allows them to create a strong anchoring effect in the skin. Screw threads are often used for tightening loose skin in areas like the forehead and jawline.
- Double Needle Threads: These threads have two needles on each end, which allows for a bidirectional insertion technique. Double needle threads are used to provide a more comprehensive lifting effect in specific areas.
