To learn more about PDO thread lifts, call the office or schedule an appointment online today.
Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lift is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens your skin with dissolvable sutures. During a thread lift, the team at Refine Skin Medspa uses special sutures that suspend and hold portions of your skin.
The sutures pull, lift, and tighten your skin, giving you a more youthful look. The PDO threads also stimulate the skin’s healing response, increasing collagen production. Collagen is a protein that keeps the skin strong and pliable.
Over time, the PDO threads dissolve, but the results remain because of the increase in collagen in the skin, providing natural strength and support.
A PDO thread lift can help you look years younger by lifting and smoothing out the skin around the face. The team can insert PDO threads on any area of your body, but they’re most effective on the face, particularly around the neck and jawline. They can lift eyebrows and restore sagging cheeks and jowls.
Benefits include:
You’ll see ongoing results as your skin continues to heal and regenerate.
Refine Skin Medspa takes a patient-centered approach to care and determines if you’re a candidate for PDO thread lift during a consultation. They may recommend the minimally-invasive procedure if you have mild to moderate skin sagging that no longer responds to cosmetic injections like Botox® and dermal fillers.
They may also consider you a candidate for PDO thread lift if you have more severe skin laxity but can’t have a surgical facelift because of underlying medical conditions.
The team performs your PDO thread lift in-office at Refine Skin Medspa. The procedure takes about 45 minutes.
While you sit and relax in the aesthetic treatment chair, your provider cleans your skin and applies a numbing lotion. They then use a cannula to create a tiny puncture in your skin, placing the PDO threads to pull, tighten, and anchor your skin to create the desired look.
They may place the sutures around your cheeks, jaw, neck, or eyes. After your procedure, your provider sends you home with after-care instructions.
You can expect some mild swelling and redness at the site of your thread placements, but these side effects resolve within a few days. You can resume most of your usual activities within a day or two after your PDO thread lift.
The team provides specific at-home instructions to ensure you get the best results. The PDO threads dissolve within six months, but the results of your aesthetic treatment may last 3-4 years*.
