THREAD LIFTS: A DIFFERENT KIND OF NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT

Achieve an Amazing Non-Surgical Facelift With Threads!

There are many different aesthetic treatments available to lift and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but threads utilize medical-grade absorbable sutures to subtly erase years from your appearance. At Pineapple Grove Medical Spa, we offer PDO, PCL, and PLLA threading as a way to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response for both immediate and long-lasting rejuvenation.

What Are Threads?

Polydioxanone (PDO), polycaprolactone (PCL), and Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) sutures are well-established biocompatible polymers that have been utilized in a variety of medical devices because of their ability to gradually and safely break down in the body. These synthetic, absorbable sutures are considered to be one of the safest materials implanted in the body. This is an injectable treatment that requires no incisions or downtime.

How Do Threads Work?

The needles used for this procedure are pre-loaded with the PDO/PCL/PLLA sutures, which are then strategically administered in a cross-hatch pattern underneath the skin to provide a strong foundation for skin improvement. This treatment option combats visible signs of aging in two major ways:

Immediate lifting: Fine lines and wrinkles are immediately lifted and smoothed for instant noticeable results.
Increased collagen production: Over the course of 4 to 6 months, the skin’s healing response grows around the sutures for stronger, more flexible skin after the sutures are absorbed by the body.

The technique behind threading aims to recreate the natural “V” shape of younger-looking complexions, creating results that subtly enhance your appearance without looking overdone. With threads, results are immediate, long-lasting, and discreet without giving away that you “had work done.”

Are There Any Side Effects?

PDO/PCL/PLLA sutures are proven to be compatible with the skin, stimulating real collagen growth without irritating or injuring the skin or connective tissues. This procedure leaves no visible scarring or evidence of treatment aside from slight bruising, redness, or swelling at injection sites for the first 24 hours.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Anyone who is seeking a chemical-free, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment may be a candidate for thread lifts. During your consultation with our medical team, your individual condition, goals, and expectations will be assessed to determine if this treatment is right for you. Patients who qualify will have a personalized treatment plan created for them outlining what they can expect from the process.
