Your Ultimate Guide to PDO Thread Pre and Post Treatment
Your Journey to Exceptional Outcomes Begins with Proper Care
Welcome to the hub of information on PDO Thread Treatment at Voyage Med Spa. Here, we’ll guide you through what to expect before and after your treatment, ensuring you get the most out of your experience.
What is PDO Thread Treatment?
Polydioxanone (PDO) thread treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin. Available in two types—smooth and barbed—PDO threads offer a dual benefit of instant lift and gradual collagen stimulation.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines for PDO Threads
Before your PDO threads treatment, we recommend following these instructions to ensure success:
- Consultation and Customization: Your first step is a consultation with Dr. Ben-Kane, where we tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs.
- Skin Preparation: A week before the procedure, we recommend discontinuing blood-thinning medications and supplements.
- Hydration: Staying hydrated is key to a successful PDO thread treatment.
Postoperative Care for PDO Threads
To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery after your PDO thread lift, please follow these postoperative care instructions carefully:
- Swelling Management: Expect some swelling. Apply ice packs to the treated area for 30 minutes at a time over the next few days to reduce swelling.
- Gentle Washing: Wash the treatment area gently for the first 24 hours.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoid alcohol, sugary drinks, and smoking for 1-2 weeks to facilitate healing and prevent infection.
- Facial Movements: Minimize exaggerated facial movements such as wide yawns, big smiles, and excessive chewing for 2-3 weeks. Think “royal demeanor” – gentle and refined.
- Pre-Treatment Considerations: In some cases, pre-treatment with muscle relaxants like Botox or Dysport may be advised two weeks before your thread lift to enhance results.
- Sleeping Posture: Avoid lying on your face or sides for 4 hours post-procedure. Aim to sleep on your back with your head elevated for 3-5 days to avoid shifting the threads.
- Physical Activities: Refrain from yoga, headstands, heavy workouts, and any strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks. Also, postpone dental treatments if possible during this period.
- Facial Care: Avoid deep facial massages for a few months. Laser treatments, however, may be considered one-month post-procedure.
- Follow-Up: You’ll have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Ben-Kane to assess the results and make any necessary adjustments.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our office. We are happy to provide you with specific instructions based on your needs and lifestyle to ensure that your treatment is successful and the risk of complications is minimized.
