Call now to book a consultation and see why so many men and women choose our nonsurgical facelift — we know the importance of feeling and looking your best.
Polydioxanone threads are made from a synthetic, absorbable material and are commonly used in medical procedures. The threads are inserted just beneath the skin to lift and reposition the tissue.
Sometimes called a "lunchtime facelift," this facial rejuvenation treatment is designed to reduce wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and redefine your facial contours. PDO threads also stimulate collagen production, which helps your skin generate new tissue and maintain a healthy complexion.
Traditional facelift surgery involves cutting into the skin and tightening the underlying tissues and muscles to create a youthful appearance. Recovery can be long and uncomfortable, and some scarring is common afterward.
PDO threads are a minimally invasive way to achieve similar results but with less downtime and fewer risks. Plus, the procedure can be done in one simple office visit — patients in Slidell, LA, Hattiesburg, MS, and Mobile, AL can all take advantage of this revolutionary treatment.
Before placing any PDO threads, Dr. Balder will perform an assessment to determine the details of your nonsurgical facelift. We consider your problem areas as well as the amount of lifting, repositioning, or tightening that should occur. Once we are ready to begin, a topical numbing agent will be applied to ensure your comfort. Threads are administered into targeted areas and gently pulled to lift the skin.
PDO threads are designed to be metabolized by your body over time, so they are not considered permanent. However, results can last up to 18 months or longer with proper maintenance and care. You may need occasional touch-up sessions depending on how quickly your skin responds to the threads. We offer customized plans to ensure that your facial rejuvenation treatment lasts as long as possible.
Dr. Balder is highly experienced in performing PDO thread lifts and is a national trainer for the AMI. He has successfully instructed medical doctors, doctors of chiropractic medicine, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses to perform thread lifts all across the country.
