Our non-surgical facial rejuvenation center at Prime Med Spa offers two of our most sought-after procedures: PDO thread lifts and dermal fillers, which deliver contrasting methods for skin tightening and volume enhancement. The following information will assist you in determining the most suitable procedure between PDO thread lifts and dermal fillers.
PDO Thread Lifts: The Non-Surgical Facelift
How It Works
Medical staff insert biodegradable threads beneath skin layers to execute tissue lifting and repositioning of sagging tissues.
The procedure activates collagen production to achieve sustained tightening effects during a period of three to six months.
✔ Results last 12-18 months
Best For:
✅ Moderate sagging (jowls, cheeks, brows)
The procedure delivers lifting effects through surgery-free methods to patients who want this outcome.
✅ Patients wanting a lifted look without surgery
✅ Those avoiding synthetic fillers
Pros & Cons
| ✅ Pros | ❌ Cons |
|---|---|
| Immediate lift + long-term collagen boost | Mild bruising/swelling for 3-5 days |
| No foreign substances (threads dissolve naturally | Slight “pulling” sensation initially |
| Works on neck & décolletage too | Not ideal for severe sagging |
Dermal Fillers: Instant Volume & Contour
How It Works
The hyaluronic acid-based gels Juvederm and Restylane serve to fill in sagging areas.
The product restores natural volume in facial areas including the cheeks and temples as well as the lips.
The duration of the results from this procedure depends on the type of filler used and ranges between 6 and 24 months.
Best For:
✅ Volume loss (hollow cheeks, thin lips)
The procedure provides a light lifting effect when cheek filler treatments are used to raise the mid-face area.
✔ Patients seeking fast results
The treatment works for patients who require quick outcomes
Pros & Cons
| ✅ Pros | ❌ Cons |
|---|---|
| Immediate results | Temporary (requires touch-ups) |
| Minimal downtime | Potential for overfilling if not done precisely |
| Reversible (with hyaluronidase) | Not a true “lift” for severe sagging |
