During the procedure
During your PDO procedure, the injector will use small amounts of injectable anesthesia (lidocaine w/ epi) and the use of a needle to make a small self-healing pilot hole in the skin. A small needle or cannula that is preloaded with a thread is then inserted just under the skin. Multiple threads are used during a single treatment. Depending on the area treated, the procedure can take 5 minutes to an hour.
When will I see the results?
It can take up to 4-6 months to appreciate the full benefit of the treatment. On average, results can last 6-18 months or more depending on area treated and number of threads used.
