Collagen-Boosted, Youthful Skin
What are PDO threads?
Dr. Segura offers a minimally invasive PDO thread lift that can lift, tighten, and mold the face and neck to reduce wrinkles and stimulate collagen to give a more youthful appearance. PDO threads are an FDA-approved treatment made out of the same material as dissolvable surgical sutures that can be placed under the skin to lift and reposition the skin without the discomfort, downtime, and cost of a traditional surgical facelift. PDO threads are safe, have almost immediate results, and do not leave a visible scar. Nobody will know you had a facelift!
Dr. Segura prefers smooth PDO threads for their natural, rejuvenating results. Unlike barbed threads, they focus on refining and revitalizing the skin without altering facial contours, making them perfect for delicate areas such as under the eyes or around the mouth. With Dr. Segura's expert precision, smooth PDO threads provide a subtle yet effective boost to your skin's youthful vibrancy.
Effortless Elegance
What is the PDO thread procedure like?
During the consultation, Dr. Segura will work with you to determine the best approach to get the results you want. She uses PDO MAX threads to perform thread lifts and typically uses at least four threads on each side to ensure maximum lift. PDO MAX threads are FDA-approved for thread lifts and have ample data showing that this is a safe, effective therapy for wrinkles and sagging skin.
During your treatment, Dr. Segura carefully inserts the smooth PDO threads into targeted areas using a fine needle. The threads are strategically placed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area, and requires no general anesthesia. To enhance your comfort, Dr. Segura uses lidocaine and Pro-Nox during the procedure, ensuring a relaxed experience.
