Looking for a non-surgical facelift? Discover the PDO Thread Lift at Sleep & Wellness Medical Associates!
As we age, change in skin elasticity and facial structure is common, leading to sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles. While this is a natural process of the aging process, many seek effective non-surgical ways to improve these problems. At Sleep & Wellness Medical Associates,we offer a PDO Thread Lift. A PDO, or a polydioxane thread lift, is a minimally invasive procedure that helps lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery or long recovery times.
How does a PDO Thread lift work?
A PDO thread lift uses dissolvable threads made of polydioxane, which is a natural protein akin to human hair. They were traditionally used for help in wound closure, but have found new uses within aesthetics.
How does a PDO Thread lift work?
A PDO thread lift uses dissolvable threads made of polydioxane, which is a natural protein akin to human hair. They were traditionally used for help in wound closure, but have found new uses within aesthetics.
These PDO threads, when inserted and lifted within the skin, stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastic fibers in the face. This helps combat any fine lines and wrinkles that can be seen on an individual over time.
Because the threads are fully absorbable, they safely dissolve within the skin over several months, leaving behind long-lasting, natural-looking results.

FAQS:
How is a PDO Thread Lift different from a face lift?
While both aim to lift and restore a youthful appearance, there are key differences that set them apart. Facelifts are surgical procedures with a long recovery time but more dramatic ,long-lasting results. In contrast, the PDO thread is a minimally invasive procedure with a short recovery time. While the results are more subtle than a surgical face lift, the results of a PDO thread lift can be well suited for individuals looking for a less invasive rejuvenating procedure.
Is the treatment painful?
The pain that is experienced during the treatment differs from person to person, but most patients usually experience minimal discomfort. During the procedure, a local anesthetic is injected in the area, which can help with the pain. This followed by the threads can either cause minimal discomfort or high discomfort. After the procedure, some pain relief medications can be taken or given by the provider to alleviate any pain.
How long is the treatment?
The typical duration of the PDO Treatment is around 45 minutes to 1 hour. However, the duration also largely is influenced by the individual’s needs. For less areas, a lesser time, but for more and extensive areas, even more time will be added. The provider will give a more accurate time estimate during an aesthetic consultation.
