THE NEW NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT - AND YES, YOUR FRIENDS WILL NOTICE

We all desire healthy, glowing skin, which is the biggest factor that can make us look and feel youthful and fresh. However, collagen loss from normal aging, stress, and environmental pollutants eventually affect the condition of the skin, causing it to lose elasticity.

Skin begins to sag and look more dull with aging. While we can’t prevent the aging process, there are steps that one can take to improve skin’s appearance and prevent it from being further damaged.

PDO thread lift in Philadelphia, or simply “thread lift,” is a cosmetic procedure used to tighten and lift the skin. Thread lifts are quickly becoming the preferred, minimally invasive alternative to surgeries such as face lifts.

PDO thread lifts are also used for other medical procedures, including the treatment of certain gynecological disorders. Continue reading to find out how a PDO thread lift procedure by Dr. Violetta Berdichevskaya is different from other types of lift thread procedures.

WHAT IS PDO THREAD LIFT, AND WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?

A PDO thread lift uses a biodegradable, polyester suture thread material. These quick, effective treatments for rejuvenating the skin have been used safely since the 1980s. The procedures are often completed in less than 45 minutes. There are three main reasons why people go for thread lifts in Philadelphia, PA: 

  • To lift the skin

  • To enjoy a near-instant skin-tightening effect

  • To promote collagen production and renew skin at a cellular level

After a PDO thread lift, the skin is smoother, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments are highly popular for delivering great Long Lasting results without the drawbacks of surgery. 

IS PDO TREATMENT SAFE?

PDO treatment is completely safe and FDA approved. No reports of allergies or any major skin concerns have been reported. Though the treatment is recently exploding in popularity, it has been used for decades to deliver effective results. 

There are no side effects associated with the treatment, but there are certain precautionary measures that you should take before your treatment. Following these measures will help you get ideal results from a PDO treatment.
