Illari Threads in Las Vegas, NV

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO threads (polydioxanone threads) are absorbable sutures that immediately lift the skin while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results. Illari Threads is an FDA-cleared brand of PDO threads renowned for its strong tensile strength and range of thread types, including smooth, barbed, and specialty threads designed for specific areas of the face and body. Your PDO thread treatment, also known as a PDO lift, will be customized to target your specific skin concerns.

What Can PDO Threads Treat?

PDO threads rejuvenate a more youthful appearance by treating various signs of aging, including:

• Skin laxity (loose skin)
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin texture
• Sagging

PDO threads are commonly used on the midface and around the eyes but they can also improve body contours on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and more.

Am I a Good Candidate for PDO Threads?

PDO threads are a great option for most patients who want to address mild to moderate signs of aging. Patients with an active skin infection or a history of bleeding problems might not be good candidates. At your consultation, we will discuss your medical history and treatment goals to ensure this is a safe treatment that will provide your desired results.

How Long Does PDO Thread Treatment Take?

The PDO thread lift procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the number of threads used. First, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream can be applied if desired. Next, the PDO threads will be carefully inserted under the skin using a hollow needle. Some immediate improvements can be skin and results will continue to develop as collagen regenerates and restores volume and elasticity.

PDO Thread Aftercare

After a PDO thread lift, patients should expect mild swelling and bruising. To limit these side effects and minimize discomfort, we recommend the following aftercare steps:

• Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
• Avoid excess sun exposure, saunas, and hot tubs
• Avoid strenuous activities for one week
• Moisturize your skin with a gentle moisturizer and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher

Patients can see gradual improvements in their skin’s texture and tone, with final results appearing after a few months. New collagen production lifts and tightens the skin to create natural-looking results that refresh a more youthful appearance.
