Why More Men Are Choosing PDO Threads

PDO threads are surging in popularity as a great alternative to invasive surgical procedures such as facelifts and rhinoplasties. Yet, PDO threads aren’t just for women; they are very popular with men, too.

While a lot of attention in the aesthetic medicine world is focused on women, men also have similar desires for how they want to look. After all, aging is something that affects everyone, regardless of their gender.

Men might not have the same desired results as women when it comes to PDO threads procedures. That doesn’t mean they can’t gain immense benefits from PDO threads to achieve a much more youthful look.

We’ll discuss what PDO threads are below as well as why more men are choosing PDO threads.

What are PDO Threads and How Do They Work?

PDO threads are thin threads that are inserted into a person’s skin to achieve different results. Some have barbs on the end of them, which grab onto parts of the skin to lift it up, allowing providers to mimic the results of a traditional facelift.

There are also smooth PDO threads, which are used in other procedures to correct different issues such as lines and/or wrinkles.

All PDO threads are made from a synthetic material that is 100% biocompatible and biodegradable. This means that there is a very low likelihood that they will cause complications, and that the body will use natural processes to break them down over time.

While PDO threads have come into mainstream aesthetic medicine in more recent years, they have been used as dissolvable sutures in surgical procedures for more than 60 years now.

Your provider will insert the PDO threads into your skin using a preloaded cannula, which is very similar to how an IV line is inserted. They will then position the threads where they need to be to achieve your desired results, and snip off the ends so that nothing is protruding from your skin.

As a minimally-invasive procedure, there is no need for general anesthesia. Local numbing agents are used for the area that’s being treated, and you should only feel slight tugging or pressure while they are being inserted but not pain.

The entire procedure is typically done in less than an hour, and you’ll be able to resume most of your daily activities as soon as it’s over.

As your body works to break down the PDO threads, it will produce extra collagen in the area. This helps to make the results of the procedure last longer, and also makes your skin more elastic, smoother and plumper looking.

What are Some Common PDO Threads Procedures for Men?

Women have flocked to PDO threads to address many issues in their face. Some of the common ones include getting a fox eye lift, providing contour around their lips and evening out fine lines or wrinkles.

While some of these procedures might not interest men, there are plenty of uses for PDO threads that men would be interested in. This includes …

• Fine lines and wrinkles: PDO threads can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on your face, including under the eye, frown lines, forehead lines, marionette lines (from the mouth to the chin) and more.
• Loose skin: Men also experience loose skin as they age. PDO thread lifts can tighten this loose skin, treating neck wrinkles, jowls, sagging eyebrows and crepey necks, to name a few.
• Lip lifts: Men might not want plumper lips like some women do, which is why they might be averse to getting dermal fillers. That being said, they could be interested in having lips that are healthier looking and that have more definition. PDO threads are great for this.
• Acne scars: Men who suffer from acne scars can also get this treated with PDO threads. Since the procedures stimulate the production of collagen, they can smooth out the skin and improve its overall texture.
