Natural results with polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting
Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting in Vienna
Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting is an innovation both in smoothing fine lines such as lower eyelid and upper lip wrinkles, and in lifting various facial and body areas such as jowls, eyebrows or a slight double chin. The smoothing of the skin, e.g. in the cheek area, can be significantly improved by the simultaneous use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a material that has been used worldwide for decades as a surgical suture material. Today it is mainly used to tighten and smooth the skin — by stimulating collagen production. Due to its decades of use, it has demonstrated high tolerability.
Depending on the thickness, twists, barbs and length of the threads, an individual mix of these threads can be chosen for each face to form a kind of mesh within the skin that smooths the skin, or to gather the skin along the threads and thus lift the skin against gravity.

Treatment procedure
The polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifting treatment is extremely simple: after a barely noticeable prick, the threads are inserted into the skin with a cannula, the cannula is then removed and the thread remains in the skin. When treated in combination with platelet-rich plasma, the cannula is also used to introduce the enriched plasma and is only removed afterwards. Results are immediately visible and are further improved over time by tissue regeneration.

Over time the threads dissolve. This depends, among other things, on the thickness of the threads. Thus the durability is individual and varies depending on the thread. It ranges between 6 and 9 months or between 12 and 15 months, after which a refresh is recommended. In general one can say: the more threads, the better and longer-lasting the result.

FAQs
PDO thread lifting is a minimally invasive method for skin tightening and skin rejuvenation without surgery. In the process, special resorbable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) are inserted into the skin. These stabilize the tissue and at the same time stimulate the body's own collagen production on.
The threads produce a slight mechanical tightening effect and additionally stimulate the skin to form new collagen. As a result, the skin's texture is improved and the skin appears firmer, smoother and tighter.
The treatment is suitable for women and men with mild to moderate skin sagging, who wish for skin tightening without surgery. The procedure is particularly frequently used for:
sagging cheeks
