Frequently Asked Questions
How long do thread lift results last?
Thread-lift duration varies by anatomy, thread type, placement, skin quality, and aftercare. The clinic reviews realistic maintenance timing during consultation.
Who is a candidate for PDO threads?
PDO threads may fit selected patients with mild to moderate laxity who want lift or support without a surgical procedure. Candidacy depends on skin thickness, facial anatomy, medical history, prior procedures, and whether surgery, filler, BOTOX®, or skin tightening would better fit the concern.
How much do PDO threads cost?
Cost depends on the number of threads, treatment areas, technique, whether other services are staged, and follow-up needs. KMHCS reviews pricing before treatment so patients can compare the plan with other options.
What are the risks of PDO threads?
Risks can include swelling, bruising, tenderness, dimpling, asymmetry, visible or palpable threads, infection, thread movement, unsatisfactory lift, or need for correction. Your clinician reviews risks and aftercare before consent.
How are threads different from filler or BOTOX®?
Threads are used for selected lift and tissue-support goals. Fillers add or restore volume, while BOTOX® and similar neuromodulators relax selected muscles that create expression lines. Some patients compare these options or use a staged plan.
Is the procedure painful?
Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area. Patients may feel pressure or pulling, and comfort varies by area, thread count, and individual sensitivity.
What is the recovery time?
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, or tightness can occur for days to weeks depending on the plan. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous exercise, dental work, facial massage, and exaggerated facial movements for a period reviewed by the clinic.
