How PDO Threading Reduces the Signs of Aging Without Surgery

 

There are many people out there who want to turn back the hands of time when it comes to wrinkled skin. They’ve tried over-the-counter creams or a more invasive procedure, but today there are more options than ever. If you’re not interested in invasive plastic surgery but still want to rejuvenate your features, Desert Med Aesthetics proudly offers treatment in the form of PDO Threads.

Board-certified anesthesiologist Dr. Doriana Cosgrove is a leading PDO Threads specialist in California who can help you achieve a younger, smoother-looking complexion.

What is a PDO Lift?

A thread lift is a quick and easy procedure that is quickly becoming the treatment of choice for anyone looking to improve the contours of their face without large incisions or scarring. A thread lift is one of the most efficient methods to lifting sunken cheeks, improve thinning lips, and smooth wrinkles—all without invasive surgery. Desert Med Aesthetic uses synthetic surgical sutures made from Polydioxanone (PDO) that encourage collagen growth, provide the support your skin needs, and are 100% absorbable.

How Does a PDO Procedure Work?

At the beginning of a PDO lift, the treatment area will be cleaned and anesthetized with numbing cream. Dissolvable sutures are then strategically placed in the targeted areas. This process takes around 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Dr. Cosgrove will provide the necessary lift to the skin before the extra threads are cut away. The excellent staff at Desert Med Aesthetic can give you instructions for taking care of your face following treatment. While there is no set recovery time associated with this treatment, most patients heal over the course of four to six months. When the skin is properly cared for, PDO threading can last for 12-18 months.

What To Expect After a PDO Thread Lift?

Patients may experience some swelling and discomfort after the procedure, which can be safely managed by simple pain medication. You also have the option of icing the area at home to mitigate some of the inflammation. Avoid strenuous activities for several days to keep the tissue free from injury while it settles into its new contoured position. You’ll be ready to enjoy your results in no time!
