Recovery: Side Effects, Downtime, Aftercare
After your PDO thread lift, you might experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated areas. These side effects usually subside within a few days. You can resume most daily activities immediately, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive facial movements for the first few days. You must follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions, which may include gentle cleansing and avoiding direct sunlight.
Results: Onset, Longevity, Frequency
You’ll start noticing improvements from your PDO thread lift within a few days as the immediate lifting effect takes shape. The full results develop over 6-8 weeks as collagen production increases. The effects can last between 12-18 months, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. To maintain optimal results, you might consider periodic touch-ups as needed. Your practitioner will provide recommendations based on your goals and skin condition.
