About A Thread Lift

Beauty and Wellness Center is a leading provider of PDO Threads in Dearborn, Michigan. PDO threads are an innovative cosmetic treatment, comprised of dissolvable sutures that are made from a substance similar to sugar. PDO threads are designed to gently dissolve under the skin over time. Their unique feature is their ability to stimulate collagen production and induce a mild fibrotic response in the treated areas. At Beauty and Wellness Center, we use PDO threads to gradually lift and firm the skin, providing an effective way to maintain a youthful appearance. Choosing Beauty & Wellness Center means opting for a Botox experience that is straightforward, effective, and rooted in a profound understanding of healthcare and aesthetics.

What are PDO Threads?

For years, surgical facelifts were the go-to option for patients seeking significant improvements in facial skin tightening. This method was so effective that even individuals with minimal sagging often opted for this invasive procedure. However, anti-aging treatments have evolved rapidly, introducing a variety of less invasive techniques designed to smooth wrinkles and tighten facial skin. Among these innovative methods is the non-surgical facelift using PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, also known as COGS. While Botox indeed restricts muscle movement, it doesn't limit emotional expression when applied correctly. Post-Botox, you can still frown, raise your brows, and smile, just with reduced intensity. This balance allows for a natural look while achieving the desired aesthetic effect. One of the most appealing aspects of Botox injections is their convenience. The procedure typically takes no more than half an hour and you can expect to start seeing the effects within a week.

How do PDO threads work?

PDO threads are inserted into the subcutaneous layer of fat, initiating a two-phase lifting effect:

 

  • First, the threads mechanically tightens the targeted facial area.
  • In the next phase, the threads stimulate collagen and elastin production around the treated area, extending the lifting effect for 2 to 3 years, even though the threads themselves dissolve after six months. 

 

This process enhances the skin’s thickness and elasticity, with the extent of facial tightening dependent on the number and placement of the threads.

What Areas Can You Treat With PDO Threads?

This method can rejuvenate various facial regions, including:

 

  • The forehead (eyebrow lifting)
  • Midface lifting (cheek area)
  • Lower face lifting
  • Neck
  • Combinations of the above

 

The procedure takes about an hour, during which local anesthesia is applied, making it painless. Post-treatment, patients might experience mild swelling and bruising for 3 to 4 days. Avoiding sun exposure and facial expressions that stretch the skin is advised in the initial days following the procedure. It’s crucial for patients to understand that results vary significantly based on individual factors, including the amount of subcutaneous fat available for thread anchoring.

PDO Threads Treatment Guide

Before

  • The first step is to schedule a thorough consultation with our practitioners to discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your skin condition, and determine if PDO threads are the best treatment option for you. This is the time to ask questions and express any concerns you might have.
  • You may be advised to avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding (like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil) for a week or so before the procedure. It’s also recommended to stop smoking and avoid alcohol consumption a few days prior to your treatment to promote better healing.

During

  • Although PDO threads treatment is minimally invasive, local anesthesia is typically applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
  • Using fine needles, the PDO threads are inserted into the subcutaneous layer of your skin in specific areas depending on the desired lift or tightening effect. The threads anchor the skin and lift it upwards. The remaining threads are then cut off. The entire process usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area.
  • After the threads are inserted, you might notice an immediate improvement in your skin’s appearance. The full effect of the treatment, particularly the collagen production and skin restructuring benefits, will develop over the following months.

After

To ensure the best results and minimize complications, follow our practitioner’s post-treatment instructions. These may include avoiding vigorous exercise, dental procedures, and facials for a couple of weeks. It’s also important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas to prevent dislodging the threads.

Questions?

How long does a PDO thread lift last?

The lifting effect from the treatment is immediate, with results typically lasting between 6 to 18 months. The dissolvable threads will naturally be absorbed by your body over time, but the collagen stimulation and skin tightening effects continue beyond the lifespan of the threads themselves up to 3 years.

We may recommend a follow-up appointment to assess the results and decide if additional threads or treatments are necessary to achieve your desired outcome.

Patients usually experience minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to local anesthesia and some may feel a slight tugging sensation.
