PDO Threads Treatment In Helensvale
Has your skin lost its bounce and beginning to sag
Does it become wrinkled? Are there deeper grooves? Would you like to promote the body’s natural processes to halt these processes and restore a more youthful appearance to your skin? When PDO threads are used properly, they create a specific scaffolding over which your skin will naturally produce collagen and dissolve over time. As a result, your face will assume its natural oval shape, making you appear younger.
Polidoxane threads (PDO) have been recognised and used successfully in medicine for a long time. They were initially used in ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and urology as skin and subcutaneous sutures. Since then, their application has expanded, and they are being employed in cosmetic medicine to address sagging cheeks, neck, and décolleté wrinkles.
What is the course of the procedure with the use of PDO threads? How does the treatment work?
Using a guide needle, needle-cannula, or cannula, the thread is inserted under the relevant skin regions to form a mesh that will act as a scaffold for the developing proteins.
The procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes and is conducted after applying anaesthetic cream to the treatment area.

Are the effects of PDO threads immediate? How long does it take to get the final results?
Immediate effects are noticeable post-treatment, with collagen and elastin production starting around 2 weeks later. This process continues until the thread dissolves (approximately 180-240 days), with results lasting up to 24 months.
How often should the treatment with PDO threads be repeated?
While the effects can last up to two years, it’s common practise to add threads at intervals agreed upon with a specialist. This approach helps achieve expected results and spreads the intervention over time, making the procedure safer and shorter. Additionally, spreading out payments over time is important for many clients.
What does the skin look like immediately after the treatment with the use of PDO threads?
After the treatment, there may be swelling, bruises and pain.
When it is possible to return to daily activities?
The treatment with PDO threads is safe and minimally invasive. You can resume your daily activities on the same day, and any bruises and swelling should subside within the next 2 weeks.
