Lifting your skin and reversing the aging process has never been easier thanks to an innovative non-invasive facelift, also known as the PDO lift. This anti-aging treatment is minimally invasive, far less so than a traditional surgical facelift, and will help you achieve a younger-looking appearance using PDO threads. At ReVive RX Med Spa in Kansas City, MO, we perform PDO thread lifts that deliver transformative results.
PDO Thread Lift: The Non-Surgical Facelift
The PDO thread lift is a unique treatment that stimulates collagen production to lift and tighten the skin. In doing so, it can smooth facial folds, lines, and wrinkles by forcing the body to grow new collagen in the treatment areas. At ReVive RX Med Spa, we use reliable PDO threads that help us achieve the best possible results.
Ready to Lift, Tighten, and Rejuvenate Your Skin Without Surgery or Downtime?
PDO Threadlift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses dissolvable threads to instantly lift sagging skin while stimulating collagen production for long-term tightening and rejuvenation.
This non-surgical facelift helps smooth wrinkles, improve facial contours, and restore a more youthful appearance. At Revive RX Med Spa in Kansas City, we customize every treatment to deliver natural-looking, lifted results that continue to improve over time.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are polydioxanone threads that have been used for decades in the medical world during various surgical procedures. The body absorbs them over time as the body converts them to water and carbon dioxide and absorbs them through a process called hydrolysis. When we use these threads during the PDO thread lift, they remain in the body for approximately six months before they’re absorbed. Once injected into different areas of the face with a micro-cannula, however, they stimulate collagen production to smooth facial folds and wrinkles and lift and tighten the skin.
How the Treatment Works?
This treatment process begins with an initial consultation. We need to evaluate your areas of concern in person to determine which type of threads and techniques to use during your treatment. When you arrive for your treatment, we will apply a topical numbing solution to your skin to enhance your comfort and then use a special pen to mark the injection sites on the surface of your skin. Then we inject the PDO threads into the specified treatment areas. Once inserted into the skin, they will immediately adhere to the tissue to lift, tighten, and improve the appearance. They also relax the muscles and tendons in the treatment area, which increases blood flow as the body reacts to the presence of what it perceives as a foreign body in the area. This process stimulates neocollagenesis, a process also known as collagen induction therapy.
PDO Threadlift – Before & After Results
A Treatment That Naturally Increases Collagen and Elastin Production
After your treatment, the PDO threads will remain below the surface of the skin, and the body will create new collagen as it works to break down and absorb the threads in the four to six months following the treatment process. You won’t have to worry about any cuts, incisions, or scarring post-treatment. Instead, you benefit from both immediate effects and gradual anti-aging effects over time.
Am I a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for a PDO thread lift are patients looking for a minimally invasive, non-surgical, non-invasive facelift that will deliver noticeable yet natural anti-aging results. If you’ve begun to notice skin laxity around your brow, neck, or cheeks, or you’re noticing that jowls have begun to form, you may be a good treatment candidate. This non-invasive facelift can help you achieve similar results to a surgical facelift without the surgical procedure or the risk. It’s a suitable option for patients who want to address aging on the upper, middle, or lower half of the face and neck. It can treat crow’s feet, drooping brows, facial folds, and wrinkles. It’s also an effective option for patients who have undergone plastic surgery but experienced relapse, specifically after a neck lift or surgical facelift.
The Importance of Choosing an Experienced Technician
While many Med Spas may offer similar treatment options, whenever you’re dealing with your face and appearance, it’s important that you choose experience. When you schedule a PDO thread lift at ReVive RX Med Spa, you’ll be treated by the expert herself, Kathleen Smith, who has extensive training and experience in performing PDO thread lifts with finesse. Her patients never experience any complications post-treatment; just incredible results. When you trust Kathleen with your non-invasive facelift, expect results that exceed your expectations.
PDO Threadlift FAQs
What are PDO threads?
Maintaining a youthful appearance has become a priority for many as we age. While the desire to look good is undeniable, many avoid invasive procedures. PDO threads provide a minimally invasive procedure to achieve a noticeable lift without the need for surgery or downtime.
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are thin, dissolvable sutures placed under the skin to lift and tighten the skin without the need for surgery. PDO threads are incredibly thin (the size of human hair) yet potent enough to achieve rejuvenating benefits for aging skin. They are best suited for mild to moderate skin laxity in patients aged 30s to 50s.
How do PDO threads work?
The treatment works in two ways. First, the threads physically lift sagging tissue for immediate improvement. However, the real magic happens in the weeks that follow. PDO threads stimulate your body to produce collagen over time, naturally strengthening and thickening skin. This dual-action formula creates an instant lift, enhancing your skin’s texture, promoting overall firmness, and restoring the appearance of aging lines.
What can I expect during PDO thread treatment?
When you choose ReVive RX Med Spa for your skincare needs, you can expect expert, comfortable care that you can trust. Here’s how your PDO thread treatment unfolds:
- Consultation: We’ll examine your skin and discuss your goals to determine if PDO threads are a good fit for you.
- Procedure: We’ll clean the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic to maximize comfort. Next, we gently insert PDO threads under your skin with a fine needle or cannula. Treatment takes about 30-45 minutes.
- Recovery: One of the notable benefits of PDO threads is quick recovery. You may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these symptoms should subside within a few days. Many patients can resume their everyday activities after treatment.
What are the aftercare guidelines after PDO threads?
Apply a cold compress (20 minutes on, 20 minutes off) to manage swelling. Limit exaggerated movements, such as wide yawns, heavy chewing, or frowning, for the first few days to allow threads to settle. Avoid strenuous activities, saunas, and hot showers for at least one week. Attend any scheduled check-ins to ensure the threads are settling properly.
When can I expect the results?
You’ll notice an instant improvement after the procedure. However, mild swelling may occur, but it typically resolves within a few days. The real magic, however, happens in the next few months as the body ramps up collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness.
How long do the results last?
While most PDO threads dissolve completely around six months after the procedure, collagen production helps the body continue to enjoy benefits. Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the threads used and individual factors. Proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle can help you enjoy the results longer.
What is the cost of PDO threads?
The cost of PDO threads depends on several factors, including the treatment area, the severity of your skin issues, and other variables. Our team will guide you on costs after an in-office consultation. We’ll also discuss our flexible payment options.
