PDO Thread Lift Treatment Specialist in Culver City Los Angeles, CA

PDO thread lifts are a minimally invasive alternative to having a facelift. Creating similar results without the need for general anesthetic and scalpals, PDO thread lifts are a great alternative for those who are looking for a more youthful appearance. PDO threads are a specific type of dissolving suture that is used for this procedure as its biological closeness means the body can break down the suture and create the desired look patients are trying to achieve. PDO threads also come in two styles, both are used for facelifts, however, the non-barbed PDO threads are used to create more minimal ‘natural’ results in patients, while the barbed PDO thread creates much more dramatic results in patients.

During your procedure, the doctor performing will sanitize your face using rubbing alcohol, and use a needle to insert a cannula under your skin. This cannula is where the threads are fed through to create your desired look, and in some cases, it may involve multiple threads. Once the thread has been placed and anchored securely, the doctor will remove the cannula and continue this process until it achieves the look you discussed during your consultation.

The amount of sessions needed will vary greatly on your desired appearance, the number of threads used in previous sessions, and the age of the patient. During your consultation, your doctor will review your current skin condition and the skin’s laxity and discuss your desired outcome from your PDO thread lifts. It is not common to have to do multiple sessions, but it is not a reflection on the health and appearance of the patient, it is based on the desired goals from having a PDO thread lift and you may be recommended to come back within a few weeks of your initial appointment to have more done.

You may also require multiple sessions based on the type of thread used. If perhaps you chose to use the non-barbed threads for your initial treatment and do not feel the results were what you expected, you may have the next session done using barbed PDO threads to reach the outcome you were initially looking for.

There is no set age on when PDO thread lifts are the best, but that said they are the most beneficial for those who are in their mid-30s to late 40s as these patients will still have elastin and collagen production still happening, and only minor signs of aging. Patients above these ages will still benefit from having PDO thread lifts done, but it is important to go over your expectations during your consultation as PDO thread lifts do not create nearly as dramatic results as a facelift would.

The best candidates for PDO thread lifts are moderate to mild skin laxity, those who have previously used fillers or other methods of anti-aging, and those who do not have current sun damage to the skin. The reason for this is these patients will see the most benefits from receiving a PDO thread lift, and those who have used fillers and are not seeing the results they had hoped for may find that the use of PDO thread lifts in conjunction with fillers will create the exact look they want to achieve. It is also important to discuss during your consultation the type of PDO thread that is going to be used since, as previously noted, the barbed PDO threads will create much more dramatic results than the use of non-barbed PDO threads.
