Thread lift procedures are an excellent minimally-invasive alternative for some people who are either too young for a facelift or are not ready to commit to one. A thread lift from our Med Spa can also be used to further enhance the results of a surgical facelift and potentially delay the need for a second one.
The dissolvable sutures are placed in a manner that tightens and lifts your facial skin and leaves you looking younger, with fewer wrinkles and less drooping skin. If you are experiencing sagging skin under your chin and near your cheeks, such as nasolabial folds, we offer PDO thread lifts in Dallas, Plano, and Southlake.
Specialized sutures, or “threads,” are used to produce a subtle yet visible lift of your facial skin. These threads are actually barbed sutures that have very fine barbs like the quills of a porcupine along their entire length. The barbs grab the skin along their entire length, giving a firm grip that our team can then use to lift the skin without significant incisions. Instead, the sutures pull excess skin up and slightly back, which lifts and tightens your face. The presence of the suture material also sets off your body’s healing response which means your body will start producing more collagen which will plump and firm the skin.
Because a PDO thread lift is not a full surgical procedure and because it does NOT require general anesthesia, recovery time is very quick. The entire lift can be done under local anesthesia so that you can drive yourself home and work the same day. You will see some of the results immediately. This improvement will only get better with time as your body forms new collagen in response to the PDO threads.
Thread lifts can last one to three years, depending upon how fast your body metabolizes the PDO material. While the threads do dissolve over time, if you liked the results, you can always repeat the procedure in the future.
If you are interested in having a thread lift using the PDO Max or PDO Mint technology, we would love to meet you and discuss the procedure in further detail in any one of our five convenient locations, Southlake, Plano, Frisco, Highland Park Dallas, or Fort Worth.
