PDO threads (polydioxanone) are a modern method in aesthetic medicine used to reduce wrinkles and improve skin firmness. By using PDO threads, we can limit the strength of facial muscles and achieve aesthetic effects similar to botulinum toxin injection - muscle relaxation and smoothing of facial lines. The aesthetic effect is more natural than after botulinum toxin injection because we do not immobilize facial muscles, but only weaken their action.
How do PDO threads smooth wrinkles?
After being inserted under the skin, PDO threads stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen responsible for skin tension and firmness. Additionally, fibroblast stimulation leads to the synthesis of elastin responsible for skin elasticity and resilience. In in vivo studies, it has also been found that PDO action triggers the synthesis of natural (endogenous) hyaluronic acid. Through this mechanism, the skin into which PDO threads are introduced becomes firmer, more elastic, and better hydrated.
When to use PDO threads?
PDO threads are intended for individuals who want to effectively smooth wrinkles, improve skin firmness, and rejuvenate their appearance in a natural and minimally invasive way. The procedure is suitable both preventatively and for visible signs of aging.
- For individuals over 30 as a preventive measure against loss of skin firmness
- For dynamic and static wrinkles (e.g., on the forehead, around the mouth, eyes)
- In cases of skin laxity and sagging
- For sagging facial contours and "jowls"
- For individuals with thin, dehydrated skin with uneven complexion
- When patients do not want or cannot use botulinum toxin
- To improve the appearance of the neck, décolletage, and eye area
Effects of PDO thread wrinkle-smoothing procedures:
- Reduction of dynamic and static wrinkles - smoothing both fine and deep facial wrinkles.
- Improvement in skin tension and elasticity - the skin becomes firmer, more elastic, and resistant to sagging.
- Natural rejuvenation effect without immobilizing muscles - the face looks younger while maintaining natural facial expressions.
- Improvement in facial contour and reduction of sagging cheeks - a gentle lifting effect without surgery.
- Firming of the skin in the neck and décolletage areas - smoothing and improving the structure of challenging areas to rejuvenate.
- Brightening and evening out skin tone - the skin gains a fresh, radiant appearance.
- Reduction of minor scars and skin irregularities - improvement in skin texture and smoothness.
The processes initiated by the threads begin around 10-14 days after the procedure and last throughout their presence in the body (up to 7-8 months). The initial results are visible immediately after the procedure, with the full effect developing over several weeks as collagen and elastin production intensifies. The effects can last up to 2 years, depending on the patient's individual predispositions.
Why opt for this procedure?
A procedure using PDO threads is a modern and effective method of combating wrinkles, combining lifting, regenerating, and rejuvenating effects. It allows for achieving natural results without exaggeration, preserving facial expressions and individual features. Through collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid stimulation, the skin gains a new lease on life - becoming smoother, firmer, and more radiant. It is an ideal solution for those seeking a safe, non-surgical way to improve their appearance and reverse signs of aging, with effects lasting up to 2 years.
