PDO Threading In Timonium and York
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are dissoluble, biocompatible sutures inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissue. They stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time.
Key Benefits of PDO Threads
✅ Non-Surgical Facelift – Instantly lifts sagging skin on the face, neck, and jawline.
✅ Collagen Stimulation – Promotes long-term skin tightening and rejuvenation.
✅ Minimal Downtime – Most patients resume daily activities within 1-2 days.
✅ Natural-Looking Results – No “overdone” appearance; subtle and gradual improvement.
✅ Versatile Treatment – Can be used on the face, neck, brows, and even the body (like arms and abdomen).
How Do PDO Threads Work?
-
Consultation – Our experts assess your skin and customize a treatment plan.
-
Thread Insertion – Fine threads are placed under the skin using a thin needle.
-
Lifting Effect – The threads mechanically lift sagging areas.
-
Collagen Boost – Over weeks, your body naturally produces collagen, enhancing results.
Results are immediate, with continued improvement over 3-6 months as collagen builds.
PDO Threads vs. Other Treatments
| Treatment | Downtime | Results | Longevity |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDO Threads | 1-2 days | Immediate + long-term collagen boost | 1-2 years |
| Dermal Fillers | Minimal | Instant volume | 6-18 months |
| Botox® | None | Smooths wrinkles | 3-4 months |
| Surgical Facelift | Weeks | Dramatic lift | 5-10 years |
PDO threads offer a perfect middle ground—more lifting power than fillers but without surgery.
