There are several different types of threads that can be used. Your specific type of thread will depend on the areas that you are targeting and what you want to achieve. For example, barbed threads are most commonly used to lift sagging tissue around the jaw and neck in order to improve the patient’s profile. Whereas mesh braided threads can be used for increasing volume in areas such as the cheeks, undereye, and folds around the mouth. This can also create a lift in the facial tissues without barbs. Braided Mesh Threads can also be used for decreasing wrinkling in all areas of the face. An advantage over fillers is that threads promote skin tightening and collagen production.

PDO thread treatments can be used on many areas of the face including the cheeks, brows, undereyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline and neck. It can also be used on the body including arms, thighs and abdomen. A consultation will help determine threads will be an appropriate treatment for you.

This will depend on the area being targeted, but normally it can be completed in 45 minutes -2 hours.
