PDO (Polydioxanone) threading is a cosmetic treatment that involves the use of fine, absorbable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads, made from the same material used in medical sutures, are inserted beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production, ultimately leading to a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. The procedure is commonly applied to the face, neck, and jawline but can be used on other parts of the body as well.

During the procedure, a trained professional will insert the PDO threads under the skin using small needles. This process lifts the skin immediately, and over time, the threads will dissolve, leaving behind newly formed collagen. The entire procedure typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

One of the most common questions regarding PDO threading is about the level of pain involved. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which significantly minimizes discomfort. Most patients report feeling only mild pressure or a slight pinching sensation during the thread insertion. Post-procedure, you may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising, but these side effects are generally mild and subside within a few days.

Recovery from PDO threading is relatively quick, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a day or two. The lifting effect is immediate, and results continue to improve over the next few months as collagen production increases. The effects typically last around 6 to 12 months, depending on the individual's skin condition and lifestyle.
