If you want to enhance your skin’s appearance without significant downtime or consider an alternative to a facelift, PDO threads at Clearskin Institute of Laser Aesthetics in Phoenix, AZ, offer a non-surgical solution with immediate and long-lasting cosmetic improvements. Here, we will outline a typical PDO thread treatment, providing insights into what you can expect during the treatment.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads, or polydioxanone threads, are synthetic absorbable surgical sutures that have found their way into aesthetic medicine as a non-surgical tool for skin lifts and tightening. Often referred to as “thread lifts,” the treatment utilizes these PDO threads, which are inserted into the skin through fine needles, to provide a supportive scaffold under the skin, gently lifting and tightening the loose and sagging areas. Over time, the threads slowly dissolve, but not without stimulating collagen production, which facilitates an ongoing natural skin-tightening effect even after the threads are absorbed by the body.
What Can You Expect During a PDO Thread Treatment?
Before a PDO thread treatment, you’ll have an initial consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and ensure the treatment suits your needs. On the treatment day, the area is cleaned, and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas to achieve the desired lift and contour. Throughout the treatment, you might feel mild tugging or pulling sensations, but the pain is generally minimal due to the prior application of an anesthetic.
After the insertion, the threads are often gently tightened, providing an instant lift to the targeted area. The entirety of the treatment typically unfolds within 30 to 60 minutes, contingent upon the area and extent of the treatment. Post-treatment, slight swelling, bruising, or tenderness might be experienced, but these side effects generally subside within a few days to weeks.
Mesh or Lift: Navigating Through the Techniques
Within the realm of PDO thread treatments, two distinct methodologies prevail: the NuMesh and the NuLift, each boasting unique techniques and outcomes.
Mesh Technique (NuMesh)
A subtler transformation involves the construction of a collagen-stimulating mesh under the skin, implemented via intersecting sutures; envisage it as a supportive net. With two vertical and three horizontal sutures, this “net” promotes collagen regeneration, tenderly tightening skin from within and heralding results that manifest progressively without abrupt shifts.
Lift Technique (NuLift)
Opting for an immediate, more pronounced impact, the NuLift incorporates PDO sutures equipped with “barbs” or “cogs” anchoring under the skin. Inserted similarly to the NuMesh, these sutures are uniquely manipulated in one or two directions, accomplishing instant skin repositioning. And just like its counterpart, NuLift also propels the generation of new collagen, ensuring the lift is securely maintained.
What Are the Benefits of PDO Thread Treatments?
PDO thread treatments offer a variety of aesthetic benefits, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Some of the notable benefits include:
Minimized Recovery Time
Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, PDO thread lifts require significantly less recovery time, allowing individuals to resume their normal activities swiftly. This minimized downtime, often with minimal visible side effects like bruising or swelling, adds to the treatment’s popularity.
Versatility in Application
PDO thread treatments are versatile, providing aesthetic improvements to various areas of the face and neck, such as the jawline, eyebrows, and cheeks. This flexibility allows practitioners to tailor treatments to address specific concerns and desires of the individual.
Immediate and Progressive Results
Clients often observe immediate lifting effects post-treatment, with progressive improvements becoming visible as collagen is produced over the weeks and months. This blend of instant and gradual results provides a swift and ongoing aesthetic enhancement.
Customizable Treatments
PDO thread treatments can be tailored to meet each individual’s specific needs and aesthetic goals, offering a customized approach to skin rejuvenation. We can adjust threads’ number, type, and placement to achieve desired outcomes while adhering to each client’s unique facial anatomy and concerns.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PDO Threadlifts?
Good candidates for PDO threadlifts are typically individuals looking to address mild to moderate signs of facial aging without undergoing invasive surgery. This treatment suits those experiencing sagging skin, fine lines, or wrinkles and seeking a non-surgical solution. Ideal candidates have reasonably good skin elasticity and overall skin health.
PDO threadlifts can benefit a wide range of ages and skin types, making it a versatile option for those looking to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. However, candidates must have realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcomes, as PDO threadlifts provide subtle, natural-looking results.
