What is PDO Thread Lifting in Peabody | Boston, MA
Non surgical face lift
A PDO Thread lifting is a great way of lifting and tightening that loose sagging skin while you are not ready for a facelift or neck lift. Many people are afraid of too many fillers because they look less attractive and consider PDO threads instead.
We use several different types of PDO threads such as Nova threads and Mint threads which are absorbable sutures work by inducing collagen and strengthening the loose skin.
Nova Threads and Mint threads— are inserted into the skin with a pre-loaded needle or a cannula at the subdermal level. They are mostly used as a suspension device rather than lifting by repositioning the excessive tissue. The PDO threads are not permanent, are an alternative for a facelift or neck lift, and they will be absorbed in 4-6 months. During this time, the body will react to the foreign body and stimulate collagen synthesis. The new collagen structures formed will hold for another 12 months!
What areas other than the face can be treated by Mint PDO threads or Nova Threads?
Although PDO threads can be inserted almost anywhere, one area where they are especially effective is the neck and jawline. The lower third of the face is challenging to treat effectively with botulinum toxin or injectable fillers, which are most effective in the upper and middle third of the face, respectively. The threads can be placed in the abdomen, lower or upper extremities for sagging skin.
What are Nova Threads or Mint Threads?
They are hypodermic needles/ cannulas which are preloaded with PDO absorbable suture.
The PDO threads are excellent choices for a variety of skin conditions such as wrinkles, sagging, scars, large pores, stretch marks, and cellulite.
