Thinking about a PDO thread lift but worried about the aftereffects? You’re not alone. While this minimally invasive procedure promises firmer, younger-looking skin, it’s essential to know both the benefits and the risks. From revitalized collagen production to potential complications like swelling and bruising, understanding what to expect is key to making informed decisions. In this article, I’ll break down the real effects—and occasional challenges—of PDO threads so you can approach your next step with confidence.
As we age, the skin gradually loses its firmness and elasticity, and the first wrinkles begin to appear on its surface. Then we instinctively invest in expensive creams and cosmetics, which do not always bring the expected results. A better solution, therefore, would be to opt for a lifting procedure using PDO threads, which will take care of improving the condition of your skin for a long time.
Skin revitalization with PDO threads
PDO threads with hooks are made of synthetic fibers with a uniform structure, which prevents the proliferation of harmful pathogens. Their uniqueness lies in the use of materials that gradually dissolve under the skin, which is crucial for its revitalization processes. This action stimulates the synthesis of new collagen fibers and elastin, so skin cells gradually rebuild, improving its firmness and elasticity.
The smooth insertion of lifting threads under the skin does not damage the epidermis, so the procedure does not require long-term convalescence, unlike many other lifting methods using a scalpel.
PDO threads – before and after effects.
Skin lifting with PDO threads is performed both on the face and throughout the body. PDO threads under the eyes or PDO threads for drooping eyelids help effectively rejuvenate and refresh a tired look, an effect that is difficult to achieve with cosmetics or daily makeup. Many people also face a loss of skin firmness as they age, which can cause problems with facial proportions. However, PDO threads for cheeks effectively lift them upward, and the resulting effect looks natural and fresh, as if a few years have been lost. lifting pdo threads However, PDO threads also give satisfactory results in other parts of the body. The PDO threads and the neck are another harmonious duo that will make the skin in this area regain its former elasticity, smoothness and firmness. Many women also opt for a breast lift treatment, which loses its firmness and shape not only with age, but also after childbirth and breastfeeding. The PDO threads on the bust allow to lift it upward and initiate regeneration processes of collagen and elastin fibers, so that the effect of the procedure gradually accentuates even up to several weeks after the implantation of lifting threads.
PDO threads or hyaluronic acid?
Many patients of our clinic wonder about the choice of the right lifting procedure. Among the most commonly used methods are hyaluronic acid mesotherapy, which is responsible for proper hydration of our skin, and PDO lifting threads. The use of hyaluronic acid is recommended primarily for those with the first signs of aging, as the procedure allows replenishing the diminishing natural supply of this component in the skin. The results obtained are visible almost immediately and last from 9 to 12 months**.** Dermal enhancement using threads is a more complicated procedure, but is recommended for those who need a deep lifting effect and skin biorevitalization. Thread implantation stimulates fibroblasts to produce new elastin and collagen fibers, as well as the synthesis of natural hyaluronic acid. Lifting threads under the skin dissolve after about 6 months, but the effect achieved by them lasts up to 2 years.

Its performance is worth entrusting to professionals, which will help avoid unpleasant complications of the procedure. Among them are such complications as swelling, hematomas and bruises, infections, allergic reactions or infections. However, the most serious complications of threads can be thread migration and nerve damage, so the procedure should be performed by experienced doctors using original materials with safety certification.
Conclusion
PDO threads offer a long-lasting, non-invasive way to restore skin’s youthfulness. Unlike expensive creams or temporary solutions like hyaluronic acid, threads stimulate natural collagen for firmer, lifted skin. They work on the face and body, with minimal downtime and safe application by skilled professionals. While minor complications may occur, choosing an experienced clinic ensures optimal results.
