Threading

pdo threadlift

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that utilizes a series of threads to subtly lift, restore and rejuvenate youthful proportions and appearances to the facial features and to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

PDO threads come in a variety of textures for customized treatments. Dr. LaTowsky utilizes a combination of smooth and barbed polydioxanone or PDO threads. These threads are similar to the materials used in surgical sutures and are designed to be naturally absorbed by your body over time. The PDO threads stimulate collagen production for more volume in the treated areas so your results will improve over time.

The areas most commonly treated include the cheeks, jawline, and around the mouth, but these threads can be placed anywhere on the body. With little to no downtime, cosmetic threading is a great minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures.
