You can return to your regular schedule immediately after thread treatment, but you can anticipate some visible swelling, redness, and possible bruising. You’ll need to follow some aftercare steps like avoiding extensive exercise, sleeping on your side, and rubbing the area where PDO threads were placed. Our team can discuss a recommended skincare regimen with you and which products to avoid during your short recovery, as well as which products can help you maintain your results. Immediate improvements in skin sagging will be apparent and benefits from the procedure will continue to emerge over the course of one to two months, with the PDO threads fully dissolving after four to six months. Newly stimulated collagen will remain, and results can last from 1-3 years depending on skin integrity.
