PDO threads are thin, bioresorbable fibers inserted into the dermal layer, which stimulate natural regenerative processes and improve skin tension. Short smooth threads (mono or screw) are used around the eyes to gently support the skin and initiate the production of new collagen, leading to gradual smoothing of wrinkles and increased tissue density.
The procedure is minimally invasive, performed without incisions, without downtime, and its effects develop naturally and subtly, without altering facial expressions.
How do PDO threads work?
- The implantation of threads causes micro-injuries that activate fibroblasts to produce collagen type I and III.
- A delicate support mesh is formed, which strengthens loose skin and improves its elasticity.
- The skin around crow's feet and under the eyes becomes thicker, better tense, and less prone to folding.
- After about 2-3 months, the first effects of skin remodeling become visible, which can last even 9-12 months.
When is it worth using PDO threads around the eyes?
The procedure is recommended for people who:
- notice mimetic and structural wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet, fine lines under the eye),
- have thin, loose, dehydrated skin around the eyelids,
- expect a natural firming effect without adding volume,
- do not qualify for botulinum toxin treatments or are looking for stimulating therapy,
- want to maintain the effects of previous treatments (e.g., stimulators, mesotherapy, PRP).
Effects of PDO thread treatment on wrinkles around the eyes
- Smoothing of fine and moderate wrinkles around the eyes - The treatment effectively reduces crow's feet, fine mimetic lines, and structural wrinkles in the lower and lateral part of the eye. The skin becomes smoother, more tense, and less prone to wrinkling during facial expressions.
- Improvement of skin tension and elasticity of eyelids - Thread implantation stimulates fibroblasts and increases the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in visible firming of loose skin around the lower eyelids, lateral eye areas, and temple region.
- Firming without changing volume and facial expressions - PDO threads have a stimulating, not filling effect - therefore, they do not burden delicate skin or alter the natural facial expression. The result is a natural improvement in skin structure without distortion.
- Subtle skin densification and increased resistance to folding - The skin becomes noticeably denser and more elastic. As a result, it is less prone to gravitational sagging and the formation of new wrinkles with facial muscle movements.
- Gradual remodeling of collagen fibers - cumulative effect - The treatment initiates a neocollagenesis process that lasts for several months. The aesthetic effects gradually increase, reaching their peak after 2-3 months and lasting for 9-12 months.
- Rejuvenation of the gaze and a more rested look - The treatment brightens and tightens the eye area, giving an open, fresh look. The skin appears more rested, smooth, and revitalized, even without makeup.
What to combine PDO threads with and when?
To deepen and stabilize the effects of PDO threads, they can be combined with:
- Needle mesotherapy (2-3 weeks before or after the procedure) - skin moisturization and nourishment
- Polynucleotides - alternately, every 2-3 weeks - strong biostimulation
- Platelet-rich plasma / stem cells - after 3-4 weeks - deep regeneration
- LED (red / yellow light) - after the procedure - supports regeneration and reduces swelling
- Botulinum toxin - in the first stage of therapy (for facial muscles), threads after about 10-14 days
The therapy is best performed in a series of 1-2 treatments spaced several months apart, especially in patients over 35 years of age.
