The signs of aging can impact both men and women emotionally. Elective plastic surgeries such as facelifts are growing in popularity as patients find ways to combat the unwanted appearance of lines and wrinkles across the face and neck. However, there are less invasive solutions for Southlake and Dallas, Texas, area patients to consider, including PDO threads for smile lines, necklines, and more. Below are a few frequently asked questions about PDO threads for the face and neck!
The L.A.B. Med Spa team describes PDO threads as synthetic absorbable surgical sutures made from polydioxanone, a material commonly used in surgeries. These threads are inserted into the skin and then pulled tightly to create a lifting effect on the face or neck.
PDO threads stimulate collagen production in the skin, which addresses skin elasticity and firmness. The threads also support sagging skin, resulting in a lifted appearance. As the body naturally absorbs the threads over time, it stimulates collagen production, giving long-lasting results.
PDO threads treat various face and neck areas, including the brows, cheeks, jawline, and neck. They also reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the mouth.
PDO threads are usually considered very safe when performed by a trained and experienced medical professional. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there may be risks involved, such as bruising or infection. It is important to consult with a qualified provider before undergoing any treatment.
Results from PDO thread treatments can last anywhere from 12-18 months. However, individual results may vary based on age, lifestyle habits, and skincare routine.
Our team finds patients may experience minor swelling, bruising, or discomfort after PDO thread treatments. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a week.
Absolutely! Our PDO threads can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, like Botox and dermal fillers, for enhanced results. However, consulting with our providers to decide the best treatment plan for your needs is strongly encouraged.
The number of treatment sessions needed for optimal results will vary depending on various individual factors, including skin laxity and desired outcomes. In most cases, two to three sessions are recommended for long-lasting results. Our team works directly with you to create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs and goals.Ā
