Our bodies naturally produce collagen. It plumps up the skin and keeps skin texture youthful. Collagen gives us that youthful appearance. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and we start seeing signs of wrinkles and deep lines.
PDO threads are solid thread fillers that help to plump up the skin and smooth out lines. They are FDA approved and considered non-invasive. They’ve been around and used in other areas of medicine for quite some time. In recent years, PDO threads have become more popular in facial esthetics as an anti-aging treatment. The threads slowly dissolve over time while encouraging collagen production. The threads typically dissolve within 6 to 9 months, depending upon the individual. However, the effects of the threads can last up to 2 years because the body replaces the threads with collagen.
As we mentioned earlier, PDO threads lift, diminish lines, smooth out skin texture and help your body to produce collagen over time. There are several types of PDO threads used for different areas for the face and neck. PDO threads are used in many areas of the body. However, Dr. Estep focuses her attention on facial esthetic treatments.
During your consultation, Dr. Estep will discuss with you your goals and suggest treatment options. She might recommend a combination of PDO Threads, Neurotoxins, and/or Dermal Fillers for the best outcome. You may need more than one treatment in an area to achieve best results.
