Using 27 Gauge 25 mm PDO Threads

 I've come to think of threads as a must have in my DIY beauty journey. I haven't been in a hurry to upgrade to anything more heavy duty than the beginner threads, ie PDO 30 gauge. To step it up in a way that I was comfortable with I purchased some 27 gauge by 25 mm PDO mono threads. Not too much thicker but a good way to level up my thread game.

Being a thicker needle there was less give. This made inserting more stable because it doesn't bend as easily, however I still took my time in order to prevent hitting something and ensuring I could adjust as needed.

I began by treating my marionette lines near my mouth. I have quite some sagging here so want to encourage more collagen building to firm this area. I used a hashtag pattern, repeating 5 horizontally and 5 vertically each side.

The procedure went well with no bruising!
