PDO Threads
PDO Threads is a cosmetic procedure that involves inserting dissolvable threads made of Polydioxanone (PDO) into sagging facial tissues. This technique induces collagen production in the treated areas through minimally invasive techniques, providing a lift and tightening effect. The areas commonly treated include the face, particularly the cheeks, jawline, and neck, as well as the eyebrows and nasolabial folds. Along with lifting the skin, PDO Threads assist in rejuvenating and improving skin texture over time as collagen forms.
PDO Threads in West Des Moines, IA, are ideal for individuals looking for a non-surgical way to look younger. Skin laxity between mild and moderate will most likely benefit from the treatment. It is possible to see results immediately after the procedure, and in the following months, there will be continued improvements as the body produces more collagen in the following months. The effects of the treatment can last between 12 to 18 months. Book an appointment with Aesthetic Collective in West Des Moines, IA, to find a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin.
