PDO thread lift
Smooth threads are passed under the skin via fine cannula, are dissolvable and grip the underlying tissues as the thread is pulled tight. They stimulate collagen production over time creating volume in the face. InstaLift threads use barbs or cones and are threaded under the skin tightening muscles and tissues. They leave an entry and an exit point that heal perfectly.
Though popular for lifting the mid-face and cheeks, the eyes, neck and jawline can also be treated. Other parts of the body such as the breasts, knees, thighs, buttocks and under arm area can also benefit from PDO threads. Depending upon the area(s) being treated the lifts usually take from 1-2 1/2 hours.

The ideal candidate for a thread lift is typically in their early 30’s to mid 60’s and in good health. They simply want to tighten sagging skin and lift wrinkled or drooping areas but are not considering surgery.They should not have any known allergy or sensitivities to plastic/ biomaterials. People with skin that appears to be very thin and might show the threads or be palpable, are also not candidates for PDO threads.
The first biodegradable sutures were used in the 1960’s for medical use. In the 1990’s, a plastic surgeon cut notches in the surgical sutures he was using to implement on a car accident victim’s face by threading them under the skin. He felt these mesh sutures, or “threads,” would be a good aesthetic tool. Many types of thread came into use but were non-absorbable and eventually taken off the market. Around 2010 surgeons in Korea began using Polydioxanone (PDO) threads” for aesthetic lifting and tightening of the skin. They were FDA approved in 2016 and considered strong and flexible and safely absorbed into the body about 4-6 months after insertion.
There are different types of PDO threads available, each has distinct qualities that make that brand unique. In our practice we use Nova threads that are smooth and are inserted using a cannula and Silhouette InstaLift which are barbed and do not use a cannula. Both stimulate collagen and lift tissues.
After receiving Nova threads patients see a lift with improved facial contouring for at least six to 12 months. Immediately following the InstaLift procedure, you will see instant lifting but results will improve for approximately three to six months as the sutures and cones are naturally broken down and eliminated by the body. Collagen production will also be stimulated in the treated areas. Results vary by patient, but on average results last for 12-18 months.

I’ve gotten my lips done here twice now and both times I’ve gained a new found confidence that has made all the difference in the world in my day to day life. This is the greatest investment I’ve ever made into how I feel about myself and I will continue to get all of my aesthetic work done here. I cannot recommend this place enough!
