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!
