PDO Threadlift
Eterna Vein & Medical Aesthetics near Edgewood, WA
What is a PDO Threadlift?
Eterna offers PDO thread lifts. PDO threads can lift and tighten the skin of the face and neck. PDO threads are made from absorbable suture material originally designed for cardiac patients. Eterna carries two varieties of PDO threads: Nova & Mint. Nova threads are finer weight and last 6 months in the body. Mint threads are heavier weight and last 12 months in the body. Your provider will assist you in determining which type of PDO thread is best for you.
What are the benefits of a thread lift?
Beside the lift and tightening you receive to your skin after a thread lift, your body also produces other long-term benefits from the procedure. Over time, your body begins to heal and absorb the PDO thread that was placed inside. Thread lifts are collagen stimulating procedures. As your body absorbs the threads, collagen cells replicate around the area that was treated. Collagen is key to a youthful appearance. Stimulating collagen help us as we age by creating the plump, smooth appearance to the skin we all desire.
