BOTOX vs PDO THREADS
What are PDO threads?
A PDO thread lift is a simple procedure where special stitches are put under the skin for an instant lift. It’s a newer treatment in beauty, but it’s becoming popular because it gives great results like a facelift.
There are lots of good things about a PDO thread lift. Why? Because PDO threads:
- Tighten skin by contracting fat tissue
- Make your skin produce more collagen (which Botox doesn’t do!)
- Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and make your skin feel softer
- Give you results similar to a facelift, but with a simple treatment
Who is a good candidate for a DPO threads lift?
If you’ve ever wished you could just pull your skin back to look younger, PDO threads might be the answer.
They’re a great option for folks who want the results of a facelift without surgery. If you’ve got sagging skin, droopy eyebrows, or loose jowls, PDO threads can really help. They’re especially good for older folks who want quick and noticeable results.
One big reason people go for PDO threads is that they last longer than some other treatments. Plus, they boost collagen in your skin, making it look fresher and younger from the inside out – something Botox can’t do!
What you need to know about PDO threads
1. PDO threads are a newer treatment, so it’s important to find a doctor with a lot of experience in doing this kind of lift.
2. The treatment takes longer than Botox. It can take 15-30 minutes just to numb the area being treated. If you need something quick, Botox might be a faster option.
3. How long PDO threads last depends on how thick and good quality they are, and how fast your body gets rid of them. Usually, they last around 6-9 months, which is almost twice as long as Botox!
What is Botox?
Most people know about Botox, but if you’re new to it, here’s the scoop: Botox works by relaxing muscles. It’s a neurotoxin that blocks nerves with a compound called ‘botulinum toxin protein.’
While PDO threads are cool, Botox is tried and true, loved by many for its benefits. For instance, Botox:
- Stops future fine lines and wrinkles from formin
- Can help with migraines if given by a pro
- Fights acne by preventing breakouts and scars
- Treats TMJ (lockjaw) and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Isn’t too painful, especially with numbing
- Is a bit less invasive than PDO threads
Who is a good candidate for Botox?
If you want to get rid of forehead lines or crow’s feet, Botox is perfect. The best thing about Botox is that it doesn’t just smooth lines, it stops new ones from showing up. Lots of younger people use Botox to stop wrinkles from forming when they’re in their 20s and 30s.
