Advancement of modern technology in recent years has changed the way we do nearly everything. From powering how and from where we work, to how children are educated, to how we shop, plan and research information, there’s hardly any aspect of life that isn’t affected in some way by technology.
In recent years, technological tools have been developed that help people visualize how things might look if they make a purchase. For instance, brands have created apps that use modern technology to allow you to “visualize” how a new couch might look in your actual living room, for example.
This powerful technology — a combination of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) — can be used for other purposes, too. In fact, many cosmetic medicine facilities and providers have harnessed the power of these tools to allow patients to do a virtual “try-on” to see how the treatment might look before they get it.
In this article, we’ll discuss how virtual PDO thread “try-on” interfaces work and what they can do.

What is a Virtual Thread ‘Try-On’ Interface?
Virtual “try-on” interfaces are technological tools that can help prospective patients visualize what it might look like if they were to get a PDO thread treatment. A picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes, and the impact of it becomes that much more effective when it’s personalized.
In other words, before-and-after photos of patients are a great way to show how a PDO thread lift might look. Yet, virtual “try-on” interfaces take that a step further, allowing people to see how the treatment might look on their own face.
Most of the time, these interfaces are run through mobile apps. Using some combination of AR, VR, AI and other modern technologies, they allow you to select the type of PDO thread treatment you’re interested in, and then see how it would look on your actual face.
This is done by using digital simulations and images and overlaying onto a view of your face, in real-time. It’s very similar to how AR interfaces are used to visualize how a new couch might look in your house, as mentioned above.
You simply open the app, choose the PDO thread treatment you want, and hold your smartphone up as if you’re taking a selfie. The technology will show, in real-time, the results the procedure might produce for you.
In most of these virtual “try-on” interfaces, you can move around the phone so you can see your face from different angles, or in different lighting wherever you might be.
| Technology | Role in Try-On Interface |
|---|---|
| Augmented Reality (AR) | Real-time facial overlay |
| Virtual Reality (VR) | Immersive simulation (if supported) |
| Artificial Intelligence (AI) | Tailors predictions based on face data |
| Mobile App Frameworks | Provides platform for interaction |
What Are the Benefits of Virtual Thread ‘Try-On’ Interfaces?
There are a number of benefits that virtual thread “try-on” interfaces can provide to both patients and cosmetic medicine facilities alike.
From a patient perspective, they can enhance the decision-making process. By being able to visualize what a treatment might look like on their actual face in a realistic way, patients are able to see what the outcomes might look like before they ever get a treatment.
The interfaces also set up realistic expectations about what they can expect. This can go a long way in establishing trust between the provider and patient, as well as allowing them to clearly understand what results, as well as limitations, the procedure might have.
When these virtual “try-on” interfaces are available at the clinic, patients will be able to view the potential results and ask their provider questions if they have any. Again, this improves the communication between the patient and provider, which can lead to increased trust and an approach that’s much more collaborative.
In the end, this can result in a better overall experience from start to finish for both the patient and the provider.
Use V Soft Lift’s PDO Threads for Your Next Treatment
Modern technology has advanced so significantly that things thought not possible just a few years ago have already come to fruition. One such example are virtual thread “try-on” interfaces, which allow patients to get a real-time, realistic view of the possible results of a PDO thread treatment.
These interfaces can provide a wealth of benefits to patients and providers alike, which is why an increasing number of facilities and providers are making them available.
In addition to understanding the realistic expectations of PDO thread treatments, one of the most important aspects of the results of your procedure is the quality of the threads that are used. That’s why it’s so important to use high-quality threads from a company such as a V Soft Lift.
We have produced a long line of PDO threads that are all fully FDA cleared for usage in the United States. Providers can choose from the different products we have created based on each individual patient’s specific skin type and procedure, which helps ensure the best results possible.
