Non-Surgical Facelift in Sweetwater

A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift tightens and lifts sagging skin without the discomfort of invasive cosmetic surgery. For optimal results, we sometimes combine the thread lift with BOTOX®. While the thread lift concentrates on sagging skin, BOTOX focuses on fine lines and wrinkles.

PDO threads have been used safely in surgeries since the 1980s, and our team is thrilled to offer them cosmetically at Moore Smiles.

How Do PDO Threads Work?

The PDO thread lift procedure, also called a non-surgical facelift, is surprisingly straightforward with minimal recovery time.

First, your Sweetwater dentist ensures you’re comfortable in the reclining dental chair. Then, we anesthetize the area you’d like to treat. Your dentist inserts PDO threads beneath the skin when the area is fully numbed. These threads dissolve over time but rejuvenate sagging skin, lifting and smoothing it. They also help boost collagen production.

The benefit of a PDO thread lift is that it can last up to a year or longer! Additionally, you can see improvements even weeks after your initial treatment. When coupled with BOTOX, the results can be truly transformative.

After treatment, you may notice mild swelling and light bruising. This is natural and doesn’t last long!

 

 

Why Combine BOTOX with Your Thread Lift

If you have smile goals, you may also have aesthetic objectives regarding your face and skin. BOTOX and thread lifts can achieve these goals without invasive surgery. Below are just a few reasons to consider combining BOTOX with your non-surgical facelift.

Two Objectives

The thread lift helps reduce sagging skin, while BOTOX treats fine lines and wrinkles. By combining these treatments, you address two issues simultaneously.

Wrinkles Be Gone

While BOTOX treats the wrinkles and fine lines you have today, your non-surgical facelift promotes collagen production to help prevent new wrinkles tomorrow.

You Deserve It

You deserve to love your appearance and pamper yourself. Combining treatments helps eradicate the aesthetic issues that are not working for you.

lifting threads Sweetwater, TNWhat Are the Benefits of Lifting Threads?

  • Collagen Production: Cosmetic threading encourages the body to produce more collagen, and collagen decreases wrinkles and gives our skin a more elastic look and youthful fullness.
  • Youthful Appearance: Thread lifting rids you of the prematurely aged appearance by raising the face and reducing the sag.
  • Less Invasive: A surgical facelift can be quite invasive, but a PDO thread lift is minimally invasive at best.
  • Improved Self-Esteem: Appreciating what you see in the mirror can enhance your well-being and emotional state.
