PDO Threads in Boise, ID
PDO Threads
Over time, our skin loses collagen and elasticity, resulting in sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads provide a minimally invasive solution to lift and tighten skin without surgery. This innovative treatment provides a natural facelift by stimulating collagen production and repositioning sagging skin. At Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo, & Medspa in Boise, ID, our expert team, including Dr. Jason Nealy, and Travis Blaser, NP, uses PDO threads to provide patients with a refreshed, youthful appearance.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover how PDO thread lifts work, their benefits, and why Silk Touch Medspa is a top choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO Threads are absorbable sutures carefully inserted beneath the skin to provide an instant lifting effect. As the threads dissolve over time, they trigger the body’s natural collagen production, enhancing skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. PDO threads can be used in various areas of the face and body, including the following:
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Neck
- Eyebrows
- Under-eye area
PDO threads come in two main types:
- Lifting Threads: Barbed threads that hook into the skin, providing an immediate lift and repositioning of sagging skin.
- Smooth Threads: Smaller threads improve skin texture and stimulate collagen without creating a lifting effect.
Benefits of PDO Threads include
PDO thread lifts offer a range of advantages, making them an attractive option for patients looking to rejuvenate their appearance:
- Non-Surgical Facelift: PDO threads provide a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional facelift without general anesthesia or large incisions.
- Immediate Results: Lifting threads give an instant lift, with additional improvements as collagen production increases.
- Minimal Downtime: Patients can usually return to normal activities within a day or two after the procedure, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
- Natural Collagen Stimulation: PDO threads lift the skin and boost natural collagen production, providing long-term improvements in skin quality.
- Customizable Treatment: PDO threads can be tailored to each patient’s needs, addressing areas such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and volume loss.
- Long-Lasting Effects: The results of a PDO thread lift can last up to 12-18 months, with continued benefits as collagen production continues.
Procedure Details
PDO thread treatments are relatively quick and straightforward, usually taking about 45-60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Here’s a breakdown of the procedure:
Consultation
During your consultation at Silk Touch Medspa, We will examine your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. We will determine the most appropriate areas for PDO thread placement and the best thread type for your needs.
Preparation
A local anesthetic is given to the treatment area to lessen discomfort during the procedure.
Insertion
The PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Lifting threads are strategically placed to reposition sagging skin, while smooth threads improve skin texture and firmness.
Post-Treatment
The insertion points are closed with small bandages, and patients can typically return to their normal activities within a day or two. Mild swelling or bruising may appear, but this usually subsides within a few days.
