We are impressed with the results and you will be too. Dr. E. Ronald Finger  our Medical Director, is committed to offering the latest in minimally invasive solutions for face and body rejuvenation. One of the solutions is the silhouette instalift and the other is the V-Soft Lift. Both are nonsurgical in nature and performed by Dr. Finger.  PDO Thread Lifts are ranked as one of the Top FDA cleared solutions to nonsurgical facial rejuvenation and as of recent years physicians around the USA are utilizing PDO Threads for face and body rejuvenation. There is little you cannot do with PDO threads. Some common reasons to an aged and tired appearance is sun damage, smoking, an unhealthy diet, and not enough sleep. All of which contribute to premature wrinkles, fine lines, volume loss and overall skin laxity of the face. Cosmetic medical techniques have advanced greatly in recent years. Many aspects of aging can be addressed with safe and effective procedures that produce gradual natural-looking results. PDO Threads have unique advantages such as little to no downtime and no surgical scars or complications from anesthesia. Though there is a plethora of nonsurgical PDO Thread-Lifts available today, the PDO threads Dr. Finger chooses have to have a proven track record of effectiveness and be safe for the patient. Not all threads are created equal and with so many to choose from Physicians stick to what works best for them and the patients. 

How do PDO Threads work?

PDO thread-lifting is a fairly a simple procedure to contour, shape, and lift the skin using threads to achieve a more youthful appearance. Over time the sutures will naturally be absorbed by your body while continuously stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers without an unnatural appearance. PDO thread lifts require no downtime to  minimal downtime depending on the area treated and how many threads are used at one time. Results can last 18-months to 2 years on average, but often last even longer.

Dr. Finger will assess whether which brand and method is right for you, but rest assured whether it is V-Soft Lift or Insta-Lift he will find the perfect threads for you. The biggest thing is that patients looking for nonsurgical ways to rejuvenate and turn back the clock need to be aware that nothing will replace a surgical facelift and when needed Dr. Finger will be the first to tell patients to prevent unrealistic expectations.  Sometimes a traditional Facelift may still be the way to go.

PDO Thread Lifts can be ideal for mild to moderate facial sagging and neck laxity as well as sagging skin around the knees or stretch-marks on the belly for example.  PDO threads can also be used for correcting acne scars, traumatic scars, or necklace lines caused by constantly looking down on cellphones.  PDO Threads are ideal all skin tones and men and women can equally benefit from this treatment. Dr. Finger offers PDO Thread Lift consultations in Savannah, Ga, and Bluffton, SC.

Thread-Lifts typically take 45 minutes or less to complete. Patients  can see immediate results and there is little recovery time after the procedure. Patients can expect to see 30% of the result almost immediately and final result can be seen within 4-6 months on average.  Post-procedure swelling and bruising is normal and lasts just a few days. Ask us about topical creams and ointments to prevent extensive bruising and also discuss what to do prior to the PDO Thread-Lift Procedure. 

PDO Thread Lifts fill a very important Gap in Nonsurgical Rejuvenation!

Fillers can be used to restore volume, but are not designed to reposition tissue, creating a void of non-invasive options to address sagging facial skin. HA fillers such as Juvederm or, Restylane are short lasting in comparison to PDO threads, however combining HA fillers with PDO Threads can yield amazing results when used properly. Sculptra is an option, however threads still have a place for specific lifting desires and also fill in scars beautifully.
