What is PDO thread treatment? It is a treatment with an anti-aging effect , which is based on the creation of an internal supportive mesh under the skin of the face or body. This mesh consists of fully bio-absorbable threads called PDO threads, which have been used in surgical procedures for several years and help lift tissues.
PDO thread treatment can be used in cases of mild laxity, however, it is by no means an alternative to plastic surgery for lifting a specific area.
With PDO Threads we can improve wrinkles and the contour of the face , which are a result of the natural deterioration caused by time .
For the application of PDO threads to the body, good communication of expectations with the doctor must precede, to achieve a satisfactory result after a proper evaluation of the issue.

PDO thread treatment promotes a mild inflammation, thereby activating a continuous process locally for months, which "builds" collagen and supports the overlying skin. This achieves tissue support and lifting. Therefore, we can say that it is a continuous mesotherapy , a pump for producing supportive factors and skin health.
PDO threads are ideal for treating mild laxity, but for cases where laxity is more pronounced, we can opt for Cog threads!
Treatment Process PDO threads are placed easily and almost painlessly, after applying anesthetic cream to the treatment area. Their placement aims to create a mesh that will lift and restore the skin to its ideal position. To achieve the desired result , the application of several threads is required, the number of which is determined by the doctor. The threads cause a mild inflammatory reaction, thus activating the body's healing process. In this way, the production of collagen and elastin is promoted, which are structural and supportive elements of the skin. These elements are maintained, even after the threads are absorbed by the body.
Duration and Results The duration of the treatment ranges from 30 to 60 minutes , depending on the area being treated. With the placement of PDO threads , we immediately see an aesthetic result of around 20% , which, however, improves day by day for the next 3 months . A waiting period will be needed for the results to become visible , as they are based on the production of fibrous tissue and collagen that the body "builds," using the placed threads as a scaffold. At the end of this period, we re-evaluate the need for additional thread placement to maintain the result . The result is excellent when it has been made clear what we expect from the treatment for each person individually .

Will there be redness or irritation after the thread application?
Immediately after the treatment, there is mild irritation at the thread entry points. During the application, some bruising and ecchymosis may occur, but they subside within 7-10 days, and can be covered with make-up.
Is the procedure painful?
The placement of PDO threads is almost painless, as topical anesthetic cream is applied beforehand. This significantly reduces discomfort.
Is it a safe treatment?
Yes. The fact that no incisions are needed for thread placement significantly reduces any risk during or after the application. The PDO threads used in this non-invasive treatment have been used in vascular surgical procedures for more than 30 years.
What ages are suitable for PDO threads?
The treatment is usually applied to individuals over 35 years old, with skin exhibiting mild laxity and superficial wrinkles.
