PDO Thread Lifts in St. Petersburg, FL
You may have noticed your cheeks sitting a little lower or your jawline looking less defined in photos. At GYN Solutions & Aesthetics, our PDO thread lifts in St. Petersburg offer a nonsurgical way to address facial sagging.
Your consultation begins with a discussion of the changes you would like to see. In addition to aesthetic treatments, our practice provides gynecology services in St. Petersburg.
What are PDO Thread Lifts?
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone, a material used in surgery for decades. Placed beneath the skin, they support tissue and stimulate collagen production as they gradually dissolve.
This minimally invasive treatment provides a modest lift. Thread placement follows your facial structure to preserve your natural features.
Facial Changes We Can Address
A thread lift may be suitable for mild to moderate sagging in the following areas:
- Lower cheeks: Descending tissue that reduces fullness higher in the midface.
- Early jowls: Loose tissue that makes the jawline less defined.
- Brow descent: Mild drooping that creates a heavier appearance above the eyes.
Skin tightening with PDO threads may be unsuitable for substantial laxity or excess skin, which may require another treatment.
Thread Lift Process for St. Petersburg Patients
Your PDO thread lift in St. Petersburg begins with marking the selected areas and numbing the skin to help minimize discomfort. Fine needles then guide the threads beneath the surface, and our team explains each stage as the treatment progresses.
The thread lift procedure typically takes under an hour, depending on the areas being treated. Before you leave, we explain your aftercare instructions, including any temporary activity restrictions.
Recovery and Results
Temporary swelling or bruising is common after treatment, so allow these effects to settle before judging the outcome. The degree of facial rejuvenation varies, and improvements may develop over the following weeks.
Results may last 12 to 18 months, depending on factors such as skin condition and lifestyle.
Caring for Your Skin After Treatment
Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas unless we advise otherwise. Follow our instructions on cleansing and when to resume skincare products or makeup.
We may recommend sleeping with your head elevated and temporarily avoiding strenuous exercise. Contact our team promptly if you develop a fever or have concerns about healing.
