PDO Thread Lift vs Non-Surgical Facelift
As the years pass, the signs of age appear on our face and neck, resulting in a loss of the natural, firm, and plump facial appearance. Our skin begins to sag and loses volume, causing jowls, wrinkles, creases, and other unwanted changes.
If you’re ready to look younger, define your features, and achieve firmer, tighter facial contours, you might have considered a facelift. However, many people aren’t ready for a surgical procedure that includes incisions, downtime, and other drawbacks.
Today, there are non-surgical options when it comes to refreshing and revitalizing the appearance. At Flawless Aesthetic Center, we offer PDO thread lifts and non-surgical facelifts. Both options achieve outstanding results.
Details of the PDO Thread Lift
What is it?
A PDO thread lift uses PDO threads, dissolvable sutures that are inserted under the skin to lift and firm the tissues. “PDO” is short for polydioxanone, a durable, flexible polymer that is a harmless substance, eventually absorbed by the body.
What happens during the treatment?
Starting with a topical and local anesthetic, PDO threads are inserted into the correct areas of the face to achieve a lifted, sculpted appearance.
Benefits:
No scarring, no general anesthesia, no incisions, no downtime. With PDO threads, you achieve immediate, beautiful results that take years off the face and last for up to two years.
Recovery period:
Minimal, with some soreness or redness.
Details of the Non-Surgical Facelift
What is it?
A non-surgical facelift is a customized, combination treatment that is designed for the unique needs of every patient. A non-surgical facelift typically includes injectable treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and Kybella. Other treatments may include laser lifts and other laser treatments, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and ultrasound treatments.
What happens during the treatment?
We will start with a careful consultation to understand your unique needs and aesthetic goals. From there, a customized combination of injectable, laser, and other treatments is designed to achieve a lifted, more sculpted, firm appearance.
Benefits:
No incisions, no general anesthesia, no downtime. With a non-surgical facelift, you achieve a refreshed, revitalized appearance that takes years off of your face. Results may last for up to a year.
Recovery period:
Minimal, with a low degree of swelling, some soreness or redness.
Which Procedure is Best for You?
Deciding which procedure is best for you is a personal decision for each individual, depending on your aesthetic goals and unique needs.
Generally, patients who are experiencing moderate facial sagging, a poorly-defined jawline and jowls are ideal candidates for PDO thread lifting. PDO thread lifting defines the jawline, and dramatically lifts and sculpts the facial features.
Patients who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, wrinkles and fine lines, and other early signs of aging are ideal candidates for a non-surgical facelift. Injectables can lift the cheekbones, add facial volume, smooth the jawline and other facial features, reduce submental fat (under the jaw), and smooth away wrinkles.
