PDO Threads

PDO threads provide a natural-looking lift and tightening to loose skin, also refining its texture and quality. They are one of the safest aesthetic procedures and are made of absorbable suture material that causes the body to naturally increase its collagen production.Lifting threads are used to provide an immediate face lift, dramatically improving your look instantly, while also providing long term collagen stimulation. The most common areas of this treatment are the cheeks, jowls, and neck.

Smooth threads provide skin rejuvenation and tightening, improving the skin’s quality and texture. They can be used in a variety of places throughout the face and body, including the temples, double chin, forehead, and even for hair restoration.

An initial consultation with Dr. Kahan will confirm if you are a good candidate for PDO threads, based on your aesthetic goals.The procedure is low risk and utilizes only local anesthesia. The area of the skin to be treated is thoroughly disinfected and marked, and then the necessary number of threads are introduced into the skin for the desired tightening effects. Because the sutures are biodegradable, your body will eventually absorb and break down the threads, leaving behind newly formed collagen.

Allergic reactions to the procedure are exceedingly rare. The threads are crafted from polydioxanone, a well-established product that has been utilized in surgical absorbable sutures for decades. Following the procedure, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising.

This procedure involves no scarring and requires minimal downtime. In fact, most clients resume normal activity within 48 hours.

Dr. Kahan, a board-certified medical aesthetics physician, has undergone training with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and V Soft Lift to become a certified PDO thread practitioner.
