Lift, tone, and contour your body with PDO Threads
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads offer a minimally invasive solution for body contouring, gaining popularity for their ability to lift, tone, and rejuvenate sagging areas. Originally used in medical sutures, PDO threads are absorbable and stimulate collagen production, making them highly effective for aesthetic applications. At New Medical Spa in Short Pump, VA, our experienced providers specialize in PDO threads for body contouring to help you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
How PDO Threads Work to Sculpt and Lift the Body
While PDO threads are often associated with facial rejuvenation, they are also effective for body treatments. By inserting thin, barbed threads beneath the skin with a fine needle, we create a supportive framework that lifts sagging tissues. As the threads dissolve over time, they promote collagen and elastin production, resulting in enhanced skin quality and natural-looking contour improvements. This treatment can address various concerns, such as sagging skin, cellulite, and volume loss in areas like the arms, abdomen, and thighs.
What to Expect from Your PDO Thread Treatment
A typical PDO thread session for the body takes 30 to 60 minutes, with minimal downtime required afterward. Most patients can return to their regular activities almost immediately. Some mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling may occur, but these side effects generally subside quickly. Results from PDO threads can last several months to years, depending on individual factors and lifestyle.
