Smoothing and Lifting PDO Threads In Wyandotte And Downriver, MI

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO threads are dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone. This material is the same as that used in medical sutures for many decades. When expertly placed beneath the skin, they gently lift, tighten, and stimulate collagen production to revitalize your face from the inside out.

Some key treatment areas for PDO threads include:

• The jawline
• The nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• The cheeks
• The neck
• The forehead

At Great Lakes Health, Wellness & Aesthetics, we use V Soft PDO threads, known for their precision and strength. The tensile strength of V Soft PDO threads is 10-20 times greater than that of other PDO threads, making them a clear standout in the world of nonsurgical facial rejuvenation.

Types Of PDO Threads

V Soft offers several types of threads, with the main categories being:

• Smooth threads are primarily used for skin tightening, but aren’t specifically focused on lifting.
• Barbed threads have tiny, strategically placed hooks that anchor into the tissue for a subtle yet effective lift. Molded threads are a type of barbed thread that features deeper, more defined barbs, which are molded within the threads rather than cut into them. They provide a powerful grip for repositioning deeper tissue.

Both options work beautifully to define contours and create a smoother, more youthful appearance, without the need for surgery or prolonged downtime. Depending on your goals, you can combine smooth and barbed threads.

The Effects Of PDO Threads

Once placed, PDO threads provide an immediate lift and initiate collagen production, enhancing skin texture and firmness over time. Treated areas appear more sculpted and refined, with ongoing results that can last up to a year or more.

Combining PDO Threads With Other Treatments

To enhance results and longevity, we often combine PDO threads with other aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers and neurotoxins. Pairing threads with injectables can enhance your overall facial rejuvenation by up to 40%, providing a more comprehensive and longer-lasting outcome.
