PDO Threads: Age Correcting Without the Scalpel

March 4, 2025

The desire to maintain youthful skin is shared by many, but not everyone wants or needs to undergo invasive surgery to achieve it. That's where PDO threads come into the picture—a revolutionary option for those looking to lift and firm their skin naturally, without going under the knife. At Shmily Aesthetics in Seattle, we’re excited to offer PDO threads as a truly transformative treatment. So, let's delve into what makes PDO threads an appealing choice for ageless beauty.


Understanding PDO Threads


Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are dissolvable sutures that have been used in medicine for decades, particularly in surgeries to suture incisions. In aesthetics, they are used to lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production, addressing two primary components of aging skin: drooping and a loss of elasticity. These fine threads are gently inserted beneath the skin using small needles, which create a kind of "scaffolding" that lifts and supports the tissues. Over several months, the threads are gradually absorbed by the body, leaving behind a framework of collagen that tightens and rejuvenates the skin. 


The Magic of Collagen Stimulation


A crucial advantage of PDO threads is their ability to stimulate the natural production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that maintains skin firmness and structure, which diminishes with age. The insertion of PDO threads encourages the body to produce more collagen, restoring the skin’s elasticity and overall youthful appearance. This stimulation process continues even after the threads have dissolved, offering an ongoing improvement that is both progressive and natural-looking.


FAQ: How Long Do Results Last?


PDO thread lift results typically last from 12 to 18 months. Factors such as the patient’s age, skin type, lifestyle, and the number of threads used can affect the duration of the results. Maintenance treatments can be performed to prolong the rejuvenating effects, keeping your skin looking its best. Our expert team at Shmily Aesthetics will work closely with you to determine the best timing for your follow-up treatments.


What Areas Can PDO Threads Target?


One of the most appealing aspects of PDO thread lifts is their versatility. They can be employed to treat various parts of the face and body, making them an excellent option for those with multiple areas of concern. Predominantly, they are used to:


- Elevate sagging brows

- Lift and define the cheeks

- Enhance the jawline and reduce jowls

- Smooth lines around the mouth, known as "smile lines"

- Tighten loose skin on the neck


Pain-Free Results With Minimal Downtime


PDO thread therapy is minimally invasive, typically requiring only local anesthesia, ensuring comfort throughout the procedure. One of the reasons this treatment has gained popularity is the minimal downtime it involves. Most patients experience only slight swelling or bruising, which subsides within a few days. This means you can quickly return to your daily activities, with many opting for these treatments during their lunch break or at a time that fits easily into their schedules.


A Customized Approach for Every Client


At Shmily Aesthetics, we pride ourselves on taking a personalized approach for each client. Every individual is unique, and so are their skincare concerns and goals. During your consultation, our skilled practitioners will listen to your needs and desires, assess your facial structure and skin quality, and develop a custom treatment plan. Whether you're seeking a subtle lift or more dramatic results, we’re committed to ensuring your PDO thread lift is perfectly tailored to you.


Is a PDO Thread Lift Right for You?


While PDO threads are an excellent option for many, they might not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates are typically in their 30s to 50s, experiencing mild to moderate skin sagging. It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that results resemble a subtle, natural lift. For individuals with significant skin laxity or volume loss, combining PDO threads with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or injectables, may offer enhanced results. Our team will discuss all of your options and recommend the best treatment plan during your consultation.

At Shmily Aesthetics in Seattle, we believe that achieving radiant skin is more than a luxury—it's a powerful boost to your confidence and well-being. Among the various skincare treatments we offer, chemical peels stand out for their ability to enhance your skin's natural glow. With the right expertise and care, chemical peels can transform not only your skin but also how you feel each day. Understanding Chemical Peels: A Science-Backed Approach Chemical peels involve applying a specially formulated solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outermost layers and promotes the turnover of new, healthier skin cells. This process removes dead skin cells to reveal a fresher, smoother complexion underneath. Depending on your skin type and specific concerns, chemical peels can target issues like acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. At Shmily Aesthetics, we customize each peel to suit your unique needs. Our team of skilled professionals selects the appropriate type and strength of the peel to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits while keeping your skin safe and healthy. Types of Chemical Peels: Selecting Your Ideal Solution There are several types of chemical peels, ranging from superficial to deep, each designed to target specific skincare concerns: 1. Superficial Peels : These are the mildest form of peels, often using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic or lactic acid. Superficial peels are perfect for refreshing the skin, improving texture, and giving it a youthful glow without any downtime. 2. Medium Peels : Using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or other stronger agents, medium peels penetrate deeper to treat moderate skin imperfections. They effectively reduce superficial scars and age spots, providing a more even skin tone. 3. Deep Peels : Reserved for more severe skin imperfections, deep peels involve phenol or high-strength TCA. They deliver dramatic results by significantly reducing deep-set wrinkles and extensive pigmentation but require a more extended recovery period. Our team at Shmily Aesthetics discusses with you to choose the optimal peel, balancing the desired results with your comfort and lifestyle needs. Benefits of Chemical Peels: More Than Skin Deep Chemical peels offer a wide range of benefits that go beyond skin-deep: - Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles : By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help in smoothing fine lines and making your skin look younger. - Improvement in Skin Texture and Tone : Exfoliation through peels results in a silkier texture and a more unified, brighter skin tone. - Reduced Pigmentation : If dark spots or hyperpigmentation are a concern, chemical peels can significantly improve these issues, making your skin look balanced and radiant. - Acne and Scar Treatment: For both active acne and acne scars, chemical peels can reduce severity and visibility, promoting clearer skin. What to Expect: The Journey to Radiant Skin Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your skin’s unique needs and your desired outcomes. Once the perfect peel is selected, our experienced aestheticians will perform the treatment in a calming and sterile environment. You might experience some tingling during the application, followed by redness and peeling as your skin renews itself. It's essential to follow the post-peel care advice given by our experts to avoid complications and ensure optimal results. Chemical Peels and Your Skincare Regimen Incorporating chemical peels into your regular skincare routine can provide continuous improvements in your skin's health and appearance. However, it's vital to consult with skincare professionals to understand the appropriate frequency and type of peel for ongoing benefits without irritation. At Shmily Aesthetics , we emphasize balancing professional treatments with a suitable at-home skincare regimen for sustained results. Our Commitment to Your Skin Health At Shmily Aesthetics, we remain committed to providing state-of-the-art solutions tailored for your skincare journey. Our clinic leverages cutting-edge technologies and innovative techniques, ensuring the highest standard of care, and creating experiences that make you feel respected, heard, and understood.
