TREAT WRINKLES AND CREPEY SKIN

APPOINTMENT TIME

5 minutes – 1 hour

The placement of PDO Threads can take as little as five minutes and as long as an hour, depending on how many threads are placed and in how many locations on the body. In addition, we often use threading with other treatments such as dermal fillers and injections of neurotoxins, which will also determine the length of the appointment. The provider will assess the need of the client and direct the appointment time.

RECOVERY TIME & SIDE EFFECTS

Redness or light swelling for about 15 minutes

Potential bruising, which can last for up to 1 week

The recovery for “threading” is virtually immediate. The client will leave our clinic and can immediately resume most activities. As with any injection in the skin, there is a potential for bruising at the site. It would be advisable for the client to abstain from exercise for several hours and to adhere to keeping treated area clean like they would after any injection treatment. After two weeks, the body starts synthesis of natural protein of the body (elastin and collagen). Production of natural proteins continues up to 1 month until the PDO thread absorption is complete.
