How Much Does a PDO Thread Lift Cost in Cleveland OH?

PDO thread lifts are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that serves as an alternative to a facelift. While also stimulating long-term collagen production, this thread lift technique produces immediate results. PDO stands for polydioxanone, a flexible and durable polymer that can be absorbed into the skin. PDO threads come in three main textures: Mono, a single, smooth thread that provides a small lift; Cog, a barbed thread that lifts the tissue and encourages the production of new collagen; Screw, one or two intertwined threads that can also augment volume. Mono is good for skin tightening, whereas cog and screw provide more lift and volume, mimicking the results of a facelift without the incision marks.

PDO thread lifts can treat:
• Fine lines
• Mild wrinkles
• Loose skin
• Volume loss
• Sagging jowls
• Tired or aged appearance

A PDO thread lift procedure can cost anywhere from several hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. The actual cost of a PDO thread lift is dependent upon location, the number of areas treated, the severity of the skin conditions being treated, and the length and involvement of the procedure.

The results of a PDO thread lift procedure evolve over a period of several months. The thread dissolves leaving an intact collagen fibrous protein matrix, enhancing its effects. The results of the PDO thread lift vary depending on age, sun exposure, lifestyle factors, and even gravity. On average, patients can enjoy their refreshed appearance for about 12 to 18 months, and in some cases, the results can even last for up to two years! To further enhance and prolong the results, other complementary treatments may be recommended, including wrinkle relaxers, injectable dermal fillers, chemical peels, and more. Maintenance procedures are recommended every 18 months.

Following a PDO thread lift treatment, patients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the suture sites. These symptoms should resolve within three to five days, during which time over-the-counter medications may be used for alleviation if approved by a physician. Most clients are able to return to work after one to two days, if not sooner, though mild bruising or soreness may still be present. Following the procedure, PDO thread lift patients will notice an improvement in their appearance. As the swelling subsides and the tissues heal completely, the results will continue to improve over the next several days and weeks.

Clients are able to resume the majority of their daily activities following a thread lift, but strenuous physical activity and exercise should be avoided for about one week, or until cleared by a physician. Patients should also minimize sun exposure and alcohol consumption, as these can hinder the results and recovery process. The clinician may also provide PDO thread lift aftercare instructions, which will likely include avoiding submerging the face in water and stomach while sleeping.
