PDO Threads
PDO Threads: Lift, Tighten, and Rejuvenate Your Look
Welcome to Essential Aesthetics & Wellness Medspa, where we believe in helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with innovative and minimally invasive treatments. If you’re looking to lift sagging skin, tighten loose areas, and stimulate natural collagen production for a more youthful appearance, our PDO Thread Lift may be the perfect solution for you.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are a revolutionary non-surgical treatment designed to lift and tighten skin, improve skin texture, and promote cellular renewal. Made from a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical sutures for decades, PDO threads are fully absorbable by the body over time.
When strategically inserted beneath the skin, these threads provide an immediate lifting effect. More importantly, they stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin – essential proteins for maintaining skin’s firmness, elasticity, and youthful glow.
How Do PDO Threads Work?
The PDO thread lift procedure involves the insertion of fine, absorbable threads into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using a very thin needle or cannula. There are various types of PDO threads, each designed for specific purposes:
Mono Threads: Smooth threads that primarily stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines.
Cog Threads: These threads have tiny barbs (cogs) that anchor into the skin, providing a more significant lifting and repositioning effect for sagging tissues.
Screw/Tornado Threads: Twisted threads that offer volume and stimulate collagen, often used for areas needing more plumping.
Once inserted, the threads create a supportive meshwork that gently lifts and holds the skin in place. As the threads dissolve over 6-9 months, they leave behind a new collagen structure, resulting in sustained improvement in skin laxity and texture for up to 1-2 years.

What to Expect During Your PDO Thread Procedure
Your journey to a more youthful appearance at EA Wellness Medspa begins with a personalized consultation.
Consultation: Our experienced aesthetic professionals will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals, and determine if PDO threads are the right treatment for you. We’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Preparation: The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed, and a local anesthetic will be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Procedure: Using a fine needle or cannula, the PDO threads are skillfully inserted into the predetermined areas beneath the skin. You may feel a slight pressure, but generally, the procedure is well-tolerated. The entire process typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of threads and areas treated.
Aftercare: Immediately after the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which are temporary and resolve within a few days to a week. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

Are beginning to notice sagging in your face or neck.
Wish to improve skin texture and elasticity.
Are looking for a non-surgical alternative to a facelift.
During your consultation, we will thoroughly evaluate your suitability for the treatment and address any questions or concerns you may have.
