Achieve a Non-Surgical Facelift: How PDO Threads Lift & Smooth Aging Skin
It’s very natural for us to notice changing in our skin as time passes. Our jawline might soften, or we might notice more creases around our mouths. Many believe that achieving a youthful appearance at this point requires invasive surgery, general anesthesia, and painful downtime, but Advanced Practice Aesthetics offers another way.
If you want to turn back the block without going under the knife, consider scheduling a consultation for PDO Threads, which offers the ultimate solution for naturally aging skin. This innovative treatment provides structural support, serving as a non-surgical facelift that restores definition and smooths the signs of aging.
Quick Facts About PDO Threat Lifts
-
PDO Thread Lift Technology: Uses Polydioxanone (PDO) threads–medical-grade, bio-absorbable sutures that have been safely used in cardiothoracic surgery for decades.
-
The Dual Action Results: Instantly lifts sagging tissues while simultaneously triggering a natural “healing response” that floods the area with fresh collagen.
-
The Versatility: Features two distinct types of threads: Lifting threads to reposition sagging contours and Smooth Threads, which erase fine lines and improve texture.
-
The PDO Thread Experience: Performed as an in-office treatment using state-of-the-art procedures and technology, completely bypassing the risks of traditional surgery.
Lifting vs Smoothing: Understanding Your PDO Thread Options
Not all signs of aging are the same, so your PDO thread treatment must be chosen to address your concerns. Let’s take a look at the difference between Lifting Threads and Smoothing Threads and how they can rejuvenate your skin.
PDO Lifting Threads: Sagging Skin and Contours
If your primary concern is structural sagging, such as loose jowls, drooping cheeks, or heavy nasolabial folds, then you will want Lifting Threads. These specialized sutures feature microscopic barbs or molded cones that gently anchor them into the deeper layers of the subcutaneous tissue. Once secured, we physically reposition the skin upward, creating an immediate, visible lift to facial contours and redefining a soft jawline.
PDO Smooth Threads: Texture and Fine Lines
If your goal is to repair crepey skin, acne scars, or fine lines (such as smoker’s lines or under-eye wrinkles), Smooth Threads can be used. As the name implies, these threads are completely smooth and are threaded in a mesh-like pattern just beneath the skin's surface. They do not physically lift the tissue. Instead, they act as scaffolding to stimulate massive localized collagen and elastin production. They dissolve over time, naturally plumping and tightening the skin from within.
PDO Thread Recovery Time
At Advanced Practice Aesthetics, we strive to be transparent about recovery time. While a PDO Thread lift is entirely non-surgical and requires a fraction of the recovery time of traditional face lifts, it is still a deep-tissue treatment that requires patience. Let’s take a look at a typically recovery from a PDO Thread procedure.
-
The First 24-48 Hours: You may experience a tight, slightly restructured sensation when chewing or smiling, along with mild tenderness.
-
Bruising and Swelling: Because the threads are placed through a cannula (a thin, flexible tube), localized swelling and bruising are completely normal. For most patients, this peaks within the first few days and resolves within a week. Minor bruises may occasionally persist for a few weeks after.
-
Long-Term Results: The initial mechanical lift is visible immediately. Over the next 3 to 6 months, the threads will slowly dissolve via a safe process called hydrolysis, leaving behind a rich network of your own collagen that maintains your refreshed look for up to a year or more.
