How do PDO thread lifts work in the body?

PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifts are a type of non-surgical aesthetic treatment used for rejuvenating certain areas of the body.

These threads are made of an absorbable biocompatible material used to tighten and lift the skin. They are typically associated with facial rejuvenation, but here we explain how they work on other parts of the body.

How the treatment is applied to different parts of the body

The PDO thread lift procedure involves inserting the threads into the skin through small incisions or entry points. These incisions are very small and generally do not require sutures. The threads are equipped with small spicules or bidirectional cones that anchor into the skin, providing support and tension.

Once inserted, the threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. These substances are responsible for maintaining firmness and elasticity. As the threads gradually dissolve in the body, the new collagen formed around them maintains the tightening and lifting effects.

PDO thread lifts can be used on different areas of the body, such as la cara, neck, arms, thighs, and buttocks. Various aesthetic concerns can be treated, including skin laxity, wrinkles, expression lines, and lack of definition in certain areas.

It is important to note that the PDO thread lift procedure should be performed by a trained physician or professional, such as Dra. María Fernanda Benavides , who is skilled in these techniques.

Benefits of PDO thread lifts for the neck, arms, thighs, and buttocks

As mentioned earlier, thread lifts are used in these areas to treat sagging and improve skin appearance. Below, we detail the benefits of thread lifts for each of these areas:

1. Neck. Thread lifts can help tighten and lift the skin on the neck, reducing sagging and wrinkles in this area. They can also improve the definition of the jawline and smooth neck folds, such as the so-called "Venus bands."
2. Arms. Over time, the skin on the arms can become loose and saggy, especially in people who have experienced significant weight loss or due to the natural aging process. Thread lifts can tighten the skin on the arms, reduce sagging, and improve overall appearance.
3. Muslos. Thread lifts are used to treat sagging on the inner thighs, which can be caused by loss of skin elasticity or changes in body composition. The threads can help tighten and lift the skin on the thighs, providing a firmer and more toned appearance.
4. Glutes. PDO thread lifts are also used on the buttocks to improve their shape and firmness. They can lift sagging buttocks, improve definition, and give a smoother, more toned appearance.
