Non-Surgical Face & Neck Lift

PDO Thread Lift Gilbert, AZ

About PDO Thread Lifts

Imagine a non-invasive treatment that not only uplifts your appearance but also stimulates your body’s natural healing processes.

That’s precisely what PDO thread therapy offers. Our experienced medical professionals strategically insert these specialized threads into areas where your skin has lost its firmness and vitality.

PDO threads are medical-grade sutures made from a biocompatible material called polydioxanone. These threads have been used in surgery for years due to their safety and efficacy. PDO threads are used to address various concerns associated with aging and skin laxity.

Once in place, PDO threads act as architectural supports for your skin. They gently lift and suspend tissues, creating an immediate and visible lift effect. However, the magic doesn’t stop there. These biocompatible threads are designed to stimulate collagen production over the next six months. As your body naturally absorbs and breaks down the threads, it replaces them with a robust framework of fresh, youthful collagen.

PDO Threads FAQ

PDO Threads provide an instant lift as well as stimulate collagen production for long-term benefit. With little to no downtime, treatment with PDO threads can turn back the hands of time and help you look refreshed & rejuvenated. Results are often noticeable immediately after the procedure, but the full effects become more apparent as collagen production increases over the following weeks. Optimal results can be seen within 2 to 3 months.

Recovery time is minimal. Some patients might experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort for a few days. You can resume regular daily activities shortly after the procedure, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for about two weeks. You should avoid any face treatments (facials, chemical peels etc) as well as dental work, massage, and chiropractic for 4 weeks to allow the threads to settle and integrate.

PDO threads are inserted into the skin using blunt cannulas. Once inserted, the small barbs on the threads create a support structure that helps lift and tighten the skin and deep fat pads of the face. Think of PDO threads as scaffolding for the deeper face structure. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind improved skin texture and increased collagen production.

PDO threads are suitable for a wide array of people including all skin tones, textures, and age groups. They are most effective on people who have some lax skin they would like to lift and tighten and are especially effective for nasolabial lines, jowls, and jawlines. People with a lot of loose or sagging skin may not notice as dramatic of benefits as someone with mild to moderate laxity since the skin is not being removed, just lifted (It has to go somewhere!)

The PDO threads will begin to dissolve after about 4-6 months. However, their effects last much longer than 4-6 months in most people. This is because the threads stimulate collagen production in the area they were placed, which remains long after the threads dissolve. In many cases, the results of a PDO thread lift last up to two years.

Immediately after your PDO thread lift, you will notice an instant lift in the area treated. However, you will likely be swollen and could notice bruising and/or puckering. These are all to be expected! Although you will notice an immediate difference after your thread lift, it takes about 2-4 weeks for your treatment area to heal, and a total of 5 weeks for you to see the full effect of your thread lift.

The cost of PDO threads in Arizona vary based on the following factors:

  1. The clinic’s location. Some areas of the state, such as Scottsdale, are generally more expensive vs. Gilbert where PDO thread lift prices are typically less expensive
  2. Who is performing the thread lift. This factor may or may not affect the price of PDO thread lifts. Typically plastic surgeons or dermatologists will charge higher prices than naturopathic doctors or nurses, however, this is not always the case.
  3. Treatment areas & the number of threads. The cost of your PDO thread lift will depend on how many threads are placed, and how many sections of the face are treated. The more threads and treatment areas, typically the more it will cost.

We price our PDO thread lifts per area. Areas are the forehead/eyes; the midface; the lower face/jawline; the neck. Each area (which includes both the right and left sides) ranges in price from $1000 $1,200. A full face thread lift (2-3 areas) costs (on average) between $2,500 to $3,500

What To Expect

Consultation

Your appointment begins with an in-depth assessment of your facial structure and consultation about your aesthetic goals. Next, the doctor will discuss the areas that are suitable for PDO threads and the number of threads needed to achieve your desired result.

Treatment

Each treatment area is first numbed with lidocaine. Then, the threads are inserted with a blunt cannula that glides beneath the skin along areas of your face and/or neck.

Aftercare

Over the next 7-14 days, your treatment areas may feel sore and tight. There may also be some bruising and swelling afterward as well. The lifting effects will be immediate, and after about 5 weeks, you will see the full result. The threads dissolve over a 6 month period, leaving new collagen in their place. Results can last up to 2 years, however, many people benefit from touch-ups prior to 2 years.
