Whether you are starting to notice more facial skin laxity, a sagging jawline, loss of volume, or more noticeable wrinkles, PDO threads can help. Threading is a minimally invasive procedure that offers instant results that improve with time, lasting for years without going under the knife. You can experience timeless beauty and facial rejuvenation with a PDO thread lift by our trained nurses.
A PDO thread lift in Kansas City is a non-surgical alternative to a traditional surgical facelift. A PDO thread lift can give you a more defined jawline and a fresher, more attractive appearance.
PDO threads provide contouring of the face, offering volume and skin texture improvements. Immediately after the appointment, you will see wrinkles beginning to smooth, facial color improvements, and tissue changes.
These improvements are all due to collagen formation around the threads, and for the next 4-6 months, there will be improvements in the skin with noticeable lifting. The result can last 12-24 months depending on the age of the patient, metabolic activity of the skin cells, and lifestyle factors.
A PDO thread lift in Kansas City helps rejuvenate the skin by triggering the body to produce more collagen. Collagen is the primary component of the body’s connective tissue. It is what gives our skin strength and shine while diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, and breakouts. Unfortunately, your body begins to slow collagen production around your mid-20s. So, with age, cell renewal also decreases, which means that the skin does not have the same glow and plumpness as you get older. PDO threads help to turn this around. Once they are inserted, they initiate your body’s reaction to create 20-30% more collagen in the treated area. With the restoration of collagen, the skin will have a younger, healthier, and glowing look.
Other benefits include:
Threads can be used anywhere on the face and body, including crow’s feet, cheeks, jawline, glabella, nasolabial folds, lips, oral commissures, necklines, decollete, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and above the knees. Although they can be used anywhere, the most common treatment areas that offer exceptional results are the face, neck, and jawline.
Each person has unique needs and cosmetic concerns. One benefit of our PDO thread lift in Kansas City is that it is customizable. Threads are placed to provide additional volume, contouring, or skin tightening based on your specific skin goals and desired outcome. The number and placement of the PDO threads vary for each patient. You can also choose to have a PDO thread lift combined with other non-invasive facial treatments, such as skin resurfacing, dermal fillers, and chemical peels.
A youthful face typically has a V shape which becomes less pronounced with aging. The PDO Thread FaceLift provides a lattice under the skin to reposition, lift and support tissues into that V shape.
Threads can be used to improve brow symmetry, add lift to the brow, or fill the 11s (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows by stimulating collagen in the deep creases.
A PDO thread lift can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. Your skin will appear firmer and lifted immediately after the procedure, but the final results will be most evident after one month when the temporary swelling has resolved.
Individuals who undergo a PDO thread lift at our office in Kansas City find that recovery time is minimal. You may notice some swelling and bruising within the first 48 hours, but this will not impact your ability to perform most daily tasks. You should avoid rubbing your face and sleeping on your stomach, facials, or facial massages for the first week to two weeks after the procedure.
Avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or pursing your lips for the first several weeks, because this can help prevent accidentally dislodging the thread.
You should avoid alcohol and all aspirin products and stop smoking a week before the appointment to ensure the anesthetic is effective and prevent dehydration.
There is little to no downtime as threads are a minimally invasive procedure, and there is no need for pain medication. You may experience slight bruising.
The duration of the treatment depends on the number and treatment area of the PDO threads. Appointments usually take under an hour.
