The Impact of Aging on Our Skin
Before we jump into the specifics of PDO thread treatments, let’s start with a quick overview of how aging affects our skin.
As we age, our skin undergoes a variety of changes, including:
Decrease in collagen production
Decrease in elastin production
Natural loss of facial volume
These factors contribute to the loss of the skin’s elasticity and firmness, and promote the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles.
The aging process can look different for evereyone, which is why we offer complimentary consultations at Refresh & Renew MedSpa.
PDO Threads: An Overview
PDO threads are used to lift and contour facial features while strengthening tissue through collagen production. This minimally-invasive treatment is an ideal alternative to a surgical facelift, providing instant and profound results without the added risks associated with more invasive procedures.
PDO threads are made from a safe, proven suture material that is completely absorbed by the body over time. The threads are placed in specific areas of the face or body to tighten the skin and improve the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. And that’s not all – the placement of PDO threads promotes collagen production, which means that even after the threads are absorbed over subsequent months, your body produces increased collagen to improve your skin’s elasticity, texture and overall volume for a long-term natural, refreshed appearance.
There are two types of PDO threads: lifting threads and smooth threads. Let’s explore the benefits of each to see which treatment is ideal for your unique needs.
PDO Lifting Threads: A Non-Surgical Facelift
The lifting threads treatment is a non-surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, effectively reversing the effects of gravity and aging. The PDO threads are gently inserted beneath the skin, creating an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production for long-term improvement.
PDO lifting threads are commonly used to help clients achieve the following:
Heart-shaped, higher cheekbone contour
A more defined jawline
Softer nasolabial and marionette lines
Decreased jowls
Smoother neck lines
The benefits of a PDO thread lift include:
Immediate results, with an instant visible lift and improved skin texture right after the procedure.
Increased collagen production, which enhances your skin’s natural elasticity and firmness for a lasting effect.
Minimal downtime and discomfort compared to surgical facelifts.
Results that can last up to a year, making this treatment a worthwhile investment if you’re looking for lasting rejuvenation.
PDO thread lifts offer immediate results, with lasting effects of collagen production.
PDO Smooth Threads: A Solution for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
While PDO lifting threads are ideal for addressing sagging skin, smooth threads excel in targeting fine lines and wrinkles. These threads are thinner and smoother and can be used throughout the face and body to tighten and smooth the skin.
The advantages of smooth PDO threads include:
Precise wrinkle reduction, perfect for delicate areas like the forehead, crow's feet and lip lines.
Natural-looking results that integrate seamlessly with your skin, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.
Minimal discomfort and downtime compared to other skin tightening treatments.
Smooth threads are often used as a combination therapy with neuromodulators like “Botox,” as they address different layers of the tissue. While the neuromodulator is injected into the muscle, smooth threads are placed in the sub-dermis layer, helping to smooth fine lines and plump the skin. This powerful combination works extremely well to treat areas on the face like frown lines (“11’s”), crow’s feet and lines around the mouth.
The Power of Fillers
Another effective way to combat volume loss and restore youthful contours is through dermal fillers. These highly versatile injectables add volume to the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and can be used to target various areas of the face, including the cheeks, lips and nasolabial folds.
