Lift, Tighten, and Rejuvenate with PDO Threads

At Vanity Skin Bar in Baltimore, MD, one of our most popular and transformative treatments is PDO Threads, a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. 

Here’s everything you need to know about PDO Threads, how they work, and the benefits they offer.

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a type of absorbable suture commonly used in medical procedures for their safety and effectiveness. In aesthetic treatments, these threads are used to lift and tighten sagging skin, providing a non-surgical facelift. The threads are inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula, creating a support structure that lifts and holds the skin in place.

Smooth threads can be used for collagen and elastin production to tighten neck and eliminate stubborn static lines and ablate fat  (especially submental) and eliminate cellulite (especially in combination with RF microneedliong / regular microneedling / PDO Afterglo™, microneedling, and hyperdilute radiesse (great add on treatments).

How Do PDO Threads Work?

The procedure for PDO Threads involves several steps:



1. Consultation: Before your treatment, you’ll have a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners at Vanity Skin Bar. We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your facial structure, and determine the best thread placement and technique for you.
2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned, and a local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
3. Insertion: The PDO threads are carefully inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads act as a scaffold for the skin, lifting and tightening it while stimulating collagen production.
4. Post-Treatment: After the procedure, you’ll receive aftercare instructions. You may experience some swelling or bruising, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.
