Complete Rural Medicine in Lincoln, NE
If you’re considering a non-surgical facelift, you’ve probably come across the popular treatment called PDO threads. These minimally invasive threads have revolutionized the world of aesthetics by offering natural-looking lift and rejuvenation without the downtime of traditional surgery. One of the most common questions we hear at Complete Rural Medicine in Lincoln, NE is: “How long do PDO threads last?” Here’s what you need to know.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade sutures made from a biodegradable material that has been safely used in surgeries for decades. When placed under the skin, these threads lift sagging tissue and stimulate natural collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
PDO thread lifts are especially popular for treating areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, eyebrows, and even knees or arms, offering subtle yet significant improvement without scars or long recovery periods.
How Long Do PDO Threads Last?
The lifting effects of PDO threads typically last between 12 to 18 months.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Immediate Lift: Right after your PDO thread lift, you’ll notice an immediate lifting effect as the threads mechanically reposition the tissue.
- Collagen Boost: Over the next 3 to 6 months, your body naturally produces collagen around the threads, enhancing and prolonging your youthful results.
- Gradual Dissolution: PDO threads are fully absorbed by your body within about 6 to 9 months, but the collagen that’s formed continues to support your skin for several more months, keeping you looking refreshed even after the threads themselves are gone.
Several factors influence how long PDO thread results last, including:
- Your body’s natural aging process
- The quality of your skin
- Lifestyle habits (like smoking, sun exposure, and nutrition)
- The number and type of threads used
- Your overall health and skincare routine
- Touch-up treatments can easily maintain or extend your results, allowing you to enjoy continuous rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
