Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are quickly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic treatments at BeyondBela Aesthetics & Wellness. These absorbable threads are inserted into the skin through tiny needles and then "lifted” to give the face a firmer and more toned appearance.

Dr. Dimara Vega and our team of aesthetic professionals have helped countless people reduce sagging skin, drooping jowls, and other common signs of aging that can make you feel less than confident. Call now to book a consultation and see how you can achieve natural, beautiful results in Brandon, FL.

What are PDO threads?

PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a safe, biodegradable material used in many medical procedures. Once inserted beneath the skin, these threads provide a subtle lift to support the underlying structures. They also stimulate collagen production, an essential protein that improves the texture and tone of your skin.

People who undergo a PDO lift can expect a more youthful, contoured facial profile that looks and feels refreshed. Our clinic is proud to use products like VIOLA PDO threads, which are designed to gently and gradually rejuvenate your features without the risk of scarring or tissue disruption.

How does PDO thread lift work?

Dr. Vega begins each PDO thread lift by discussing your areas of concern, expected results, and any medical conditions that could impact your procedure. We then personalize the process to help meet your unique needs and desired outcomes. Our VIOLA PDO threads are placed in strategic areas to lift and contour certain facial features.

What will my results look like?

You can expect to see an immediate improvement in your appearance after receiving a PDO thread lift. First, your facial contours will be firmer and more refined. Common but frustrating issues like deep wrinkles around the nose and mouth, sagging skin, and drooping jowls are also significantly reduced.

You should continue to see improvements over time as the body absorbs the threads and collagen production increases. Dr. Vega can provide an in-depth overview of your expected results during a consultation in Brandon, FL.

How does aftercare work with a PDO thread lift?

You may experience some minor swelling, redness, and bruising after a PDO thread lift. This is normal and should dissipate within a short period. Dr. Vega provides detailed instructions for aftercare, so you can enjoy smoother, virtually wrinkle-free skin for as long as possible. We also recommend avoiding strenuous activities that could place unnecessary strain on the healing tissues. Patients report very little recovery time and return to normal activities the next day.

How long do PDO threads last?

Results vary among patients based on factors like age and skin laxity, but on average, PDO thread lifts are visible for a year or more. Patients are more than welcome to return for touch-up sessions as necessary since outcomes are not considered permanent. Our trained staff is here to help you enjoy a refreshed appearance and smooth, glowing skin.
