Thread Lift in The Villages in Lake County, FL

PDO, (Polydioxanone) threads are biodegradable sutures that have been used in surgeries for many years. There are PDO threads that have been manufactured to have tiny barbs, and there are smooth PDO threads. Your goals and recommended treatment will determine which are most appropriate for your thread lift.

There is usually little if any discomfort after a thread lift. No sutures are required since the treatment consists only of injections.

If there is any discomfort, it can be easily mitigated with Tylenol. There is usually some minor swelling, but this will subside after a few days and reveal the initial results. At VIP in The Villages PDO thread lift patients are advised to avoid cosmetics, touching or sleeping on the treated areas for a few days immediately after their thread lift.

As we mentioned, PDO threads are biodegradable so they do dissolve and are absorbed by the body. But this takes approximately six months. And while this is slowly taking place, the body is boosting collagen production which is improving the skin’s condition and it’s ability to hold its new shape and position for up to an additional six months.
