PDO Threads

PDO Threads

PDO Threads offers a minimally invasive treatment using MINT™ biodegradable sutures to lift and reposition sagging skin, thereby refining the facial contours affected by aging. This procedure involves placing the PDO (Polydioxanone) threads beneath the skin to create a supportive scaffolding that not only lifts but also triggers collagen production in areas like the face, neck, arms, and more. The threads, which dissolve over 6-12 months, encourage the body to produce new collagen, maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

PDO Threads in Melville, NY, are ideal for people who want to enhance their appearance without undergoing extensive surgical procedures. The full benefits usually appear over time as collagen production increases after a quick, nearly painless session. The effects of the treatment are long-lasting, generally persisting for several years before a follow-up procedure might be needed. For a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your appearance, book an appointment with Youthology Medical in Melville, NY. PDO Threads can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look.
