FAQs
How Do Threads Work?
Threads represents a secure and absorbable suture specially crafted to bring together sagging tissues. After the thread is introduced into the skin, the small barbs on the thread secure themselves to the sagging tissue and are subsequently adjusted to enhance and accentuate your inherent features. Over a period of 6-8 months, the thread gradually dissolves, potentially triggering your body to generate its own collagen, thus further enhancing the overall appearance of your skin.
How Safe Is It?
The threads are crafted from polydioxanone (PDO), a sophisticated sugar-based material that has a proven track record of safety. PDO has been utilized in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries for more than three decades. What sets threads apart is its extensive safety profile, supported by over six years of documented research. Furthermore, threads stands out as the first PDO suture in the US market to have obtained three FDA clearances.
When can I see results?
On average, the procedure typically lasts about 1 hour, and immediate results become visible. Patients can anticipate experiencing minimal discomfort, minimal scarring, and minimal recovery time when compared to surgical alternatives. As time passes, results will continue to enhance as swelling, redness, and bruising gradually diminish.
How long is downtime?
Following the procedure, you can promptly return to your regular daily routine. For more strenuous activities like exercise, it’s advisable to wait a week before resuming them. However, it’s essential to consult with your provider before doing so.
Can I Get PDO Threads More Than Once?
Although a single treatment may suffice for certain individuals, you have the option to undergo PDO thread treatment again if desired. These threads fully dissolve within a period of 6 to 8 months, allowing for the possibility of repeat treatments after consulting with your healthcare provider.
Are there any side effects?
Typical side effects may encompass sensations of tenderness, minor bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort. Should you encounter any unusual issues or if the side effects persist longer than expected, we urge you to seek guidance from your healthcare provider. To mitigate the potential for complications, we strongly advise ensuring that your provider possesses verified professional training credentials in PDO thread procedures.
