FAQ

PDO threads are thin, biodegradable, synthetic suture materials made of polydioxanone to anchor the sagging facial skin and fat tissue, providing and adding support for the underlying structures of the face for a noticeable lift. PDO threads offer a unique blend of skin lifting and tightening effects for a non-surgical, minimally invasive alternative to the traditional face lift procedure. While the underlying support structures of the face are lifted using the threads, the skin is simultaneously stimulated to produce collagen, which promotes natural skin tightening and improves skin elasticity. It provides skin lifting through mechanical effect, cellular renewal through collagen stimulation, and neovascularization to improve skin texture, fine lines and elasticity. 

Bruising and swelling is very common with any facial aesthetic procedure as the face is complexly vascular. To minimize the chances, we work with cannulas to prevent bruising and swelling as much as possible, but it is not entirely avoidable. Expect bruising and swelling with any facial aesthetic treatment. Plan your treatment in advance allowing yourself 2 weeks for swelling and bruising to subside. You may take over the counter ARNICA 1 week prior to your treatment to minimize the chances of bruising if it does not interfere with your current health condition and is cleared by your doctor.

In person consultations will go through full consultation of neck & up with appropriate treatment plan if necessary. If the practitioners do not find that you are a good candidate for any cosmetic procedure offered in the clinic, you will reve your money back $75. If you are a candidate the $75 will be applied towards the treatment.
