At New U Women’s Clinic & Aesthetics in Kennewick, Washington, we understand that aging and environmental factors can affect skin firmness and facial contours. PDO thread lifts offer a minimally invasive solution to lift, tighten, and refresh the skin without surgery. This advanced treatment stimulates collagen production while providing immediate structural support, helping patients achieve a natural, youthful appearance with minimal downtime. Here are some frequently asked questions about PDO thread lifts to help you understand the benefits and process.
PDO threads are inserted into the deeper layers of the skin to lift and support sagging areas. The threads stimulate collagen production, strengthening the skin over time and enhancing facial volume. This approach provides a visible lift without the risks, scars, or extended recovery associated with surgical facelifts.
PDO threads are versatile and can be used on the cheeks, jawline, jowls, nasolabial folds, brows, and neck. These areas commonly experience sagging or loss of definition, and thread lifts can restore a smoother, firmer appearance while complementing natural facial features.
Results can last up to 18 months, influenced by factors including age, skin condition, lifestyle habits, and the specific type of threads utilized. Collagen stimulation continues after the procedure, which helps maintain and gradually enhance the lift over several months.
During the procedure, a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort, and most patients report only mild pressure or tugging sensations. After the treatment, minor swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but will subside in several days. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately, making this an appealing option for busy individuals.
Our aesthetic team evaluates each patient’s skin elasticity, facial structure, and aesthetic goals. Thread type, placement, and number are carefully chosen to achieve a natural lift tailored to the individual, ensuring both safety and optimal results.
Yes, PDO thread lifts can be combined with treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, or skin rejuvenation procedures to enhance facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. Coordinated treatments allow patients to achieve comprehensive aesthetic improvements.
Many patients see an immediate lift and improved facial contours after the procedure. As collagen continues to form over the following weeks, the results become more pronounced, leaving the skin firmer and more youthful in appearance.
