PDO Threads: The Non-Surgical Alternative to a Facelift
Our skin naturally weakens over time due to lack of elastin and collagen, which are both responsible for the structure of our face. This causes a noticeable (and frustrating!) side effect of aging to show– loss of facial volume and definition. Sagging skin around the mouth, jowls, cheeks, and neck can cause us to look older and more tired than we really are.
It can feel disorienting when how we feel on the inside doesn’t match our outer appearance. While many people will consider a Facelift when they start to see these changes, it’s always best to consider the minimally-invasive approaches first before opting for surgery.
The Beauty Collective in Reno, NV is proud to offer the PDO Thread Lift, which is an excellent alternative to a surgical facelift. This quick and simple procedure can help to lift and tighten your skin– helping you feel younger on the inside and out!
What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO Thread Lift is a procedure designed to restore your facial structure by tightening and lifting the skin. It produces almost the exact same results as a facelift would, but without the surgery or downtime!
During the procedure, threads are inserted via a thin tube beneath the skin, which attaches to surrounding tissues almost instantly. Results are seen quickly, and the downtime associated is very minimal.
PDO Thread Lifts also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which is ultimately the most important when it comes to reducing visible signs of aging and restoring plumpness and volume. Because of all of the production, you’ll continue to see improvements to your skin long after the treatment is over.
How Do PDO Threads Work?
Our team at The Beauty Collective will first assess your areas of concern during a consultation. We will be able to recommend the exact placements to get your desired results. During the procedure, tiny entries are made strategically in the targeted areas. The threads are inserted via a cannula along the marked contours and are attached to the tissues.
Once the threads are underneath the skin, the body naturally produces collagen around the placed threads, which is what helps the natural-looking and subtle lifting effect on the skin. The threads are biodegradable and will usually dissolve 9 months following treatment, but you’ll see results anywhere from 12-18 months because of the collagen that formed around them.
Who Could Benefit From PDO Threads?
PDO Thread Lifts can work for both men and women who are experiencing mild sagging or loose/excess skin. Anyone who is looking for a minimally-invasive treatment to tighten skin and restore facial structure would greatly benefit!
Why Are PDO Threads Better Than a Surgical Facelift?
A surgical facelift is more expensive, invasive, and includes a lengthy recovery period. It usually takes a few weeks or more to get back to your normal daily activities fully. As with all surgical procedures, it is riskier- especially compared to minimally-invasive alternatives like the PDO Thread Lift.
One huge benefit of using PDO threads over a surgical facelift is that when the threads naturally dissolve, it’s easy to get this same treatment and results again. With a surgical facelift, results can last for several years, but it’s rare for anyone to undergo a successful second facelift. This is because many people develop scar tissue after their first surgical facelift.
Though the PDO Thread Lift is known to be a revolutionary treatment in aesthetics, the PDO threads have been used for decades in the medical world. Most notably they are used as sutures and stitches, which makes them ultra-reliable.
