Lift, tone, and contour your body without surgery!
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that has been gaining popularity in recent years. These absorbable threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift, tone, and contour sagging areas of the body. Originally used in medical sutures, PDO threads have been adapted for aesthetic purposes due to their ability to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity.
While PDO threads are commonly used for facial rejuvenation, they can also be effectively applied to various areas of the body. At New Medical Spa in Short Pump, VA, our experienced providers specialize in using PDO threads to address body contouring concerns such as sagging skin, cellulite, and loss of volume.
The procedure involves inserting thin, barbed PDO threads beneath the skin using a fine needle. These threads act as a framework, providing support and lifting sagging tissues. As the threads gradually dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in improved skin quality and a more youthful appearance.
PDO thread treatments for the body typically take around 30-60 minutes, and there is minimal downtime involved. Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure. While there may be some mild discomfort or bruising during the healing process, these side effects are generally temporary. The results of PDO thread treatments can last for several months to years, depending on individual factors and lifestyle habits.
