PDO Threads or Facelift: Which is Right For You?

Now that mask mandates are starting to fade, we’re easing back into facing the world again. For some of us, putting our best face forward is something we’ve put on the back burner. And it’s understandable why— given the past two years. Want to get back to a youthful appearance but think a facelift is the only way to achieve your goal? There may be another, less invasive option for you. A bit back, I Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co., shared a post on if PDO Threads are right for you. However, PDO Threads only work if you are in the earlier signs of aging. For some, PDO Threads. For others, the only option is a facelift. If you’re considering one or the other, take a look to see if PDO Threads are right for you first. It could be a great start before a facelift.

If you’re unhappy with your nasolabial folds, cheeks, marionettes or jawline and the aging process isn’t too far along, PDO Threads are most likely the best option for you. Here’s why it’s a plus over a facelift. PDO Thread lifts are minimally invasive. It’s also more affordable. It doesn’t require anesthesia and has minimal side effects and healing time. It’s a procedure that leaves no scarring and provides flexible options. However, the results do not last as long as a facelift. While it does promote the growth of collagen, it is not a lasting effect and may require additional visits for desired results. The results are also less dramatic than a facelift. So if it’s a slight change you’re looking for, this is the option for you. 

PDO Threads are great for the face and neck area. It will also rebuild collagen in the skin and hold the skin and lift it for an extended period of time. Enhancing collagen can help reduce wrinkles and leave skin looking smoother and younger. Results yield around 30 percent more improvement, compared to a facelift. And those results can last 1 to 2 years, while a facelift can yield results that last up to 20 years and offer a 100 percent improvement.
