PDO thread lifting is best for people who want to get rid of deeper wrinkles but Ultherapy treatment is better at treating fine lines. With that, Ultratherapy is also a good option if you're looking for something that's less invasive than traditional surgery.
Once your skin has healed around the threads inserted during an "InstaLift," we recommend pairing your thread lift with a treatment like ultherapy. Ultherapy uses gentle pulses of ultrasound energy to heat the connective tissues beneath the skin, thereby stimulating collagen production.
Thermage can treat more areas of the body than Ultherapy. These areas include the eye area, face, abdominal area, and other parts of the body. Many choose to get this treatment done on their thighs.
The results from a facelift last much longer than a thread lift. Depending on your age and goals, a thread lift may not be adequate. A facelift may have more impact on older patients or those who may want more dramatic correction.
For patients with mild to moderate signs of age, including wrinkles, jowls, and under-eye puffiness, Ultherapy® may be an effective alternative to facelift surgery. The results will not last as long as facelift surgery; however, the effects may last up to one year for many patients.
Ultherapy is safe and non-invasive but does cause some side mild effects. These can include swelling, redness, soreness, bruising, and numbness or tingling.
The results of Ultherapy tend to last around two years but they can last longer if you take steps to boost your collagen production and keep your existing collagen healthy. To discover if this non-invasive facelift is right for you, please reach out to the office of Ingrid E.
CONS OF THE THREAD LIFT:
The thread lift is considered a minor surgery, and as such, once the skin is cut there is the risk of infection, bruising, temporary discomfort, rippling off the skin and temporary numbness.
A study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirms PDO thread lifts do work, stating thread lifts indisputably lift and shape facial soft tissues. Another study published by the NIH indicates this therapy yields around a 90 percent success rate.
Lactic Acid threads, dissolve after 12 to 18 months. PCL, or polycaprolactone threads, are the most durable of the three. They take two to three years to dissolve fully.
Laser resurfacing This is the most effective procedure for tightening loose skin. Unlike the laser treatment described above, this procedure requires some downtime. You'll need to stay home for 5 to 7 days. Laser resurfacing also gives you the fastest results.
The best age for Ultherapy is left to the discretion of anyone seeking to improve mid - moderate skin laxity. However, most candidates begin in their mid 30s to 40s.
How Many Treatments Will I Need? Almost all of our clients find that they only need one Ultherapy treatment to achieve their ideal aesthetic. However, people with significant collagen loss find that they need two treatments spaced four to six weeks apart to achieve their desired aesthetic initially.
Ultherapy treatments stimulate the skin from the inside out to smooth and tighten many areas, including the face, jowls, eyes, and brow. Ultherapy is also effective for lifting the skin on specific areas of the body, including the neck, chest, knees, and stomach.
Does Ultherapy melt fat? No. Sometimes people with thin faces feel that they have lost volume from their Ultherapy treatment. In actuality, the lifting and tightening of their skin may make a thin face appear a little more narrow.
The average age range for thread lift clients is between 35 and 55, though there is no single best age to get a thread lift. Consider the severity of facial wrinkles and skin laxity you would like to treat when deciding if a thread lift could be right for you.

The socialite admits that she often uses thread lifts and is one of the first to come forward and accept them. According to her, she considers them to be her secret for young and healthy skin. She uses them along with her traditional filler and injection treatments.
Side effects plagued patients, including infections, breakage and, for pale patients, a visible blue thread beneath the skin. Even those who achieved lifted skin saw their faces sag after a few months due to everyday mannerisms like smiling.
Over time, the threads dissolve, and your body absorbs them. If you like your results, you can have another thread lift procedure.
The Thread class has the following disadvantages: With more threads, the code becomes difficult to debug and maintain. Thread creation puts a load on the system in terms of memory and CPU resources. We need to do exception handling inside the worker method as any unhandled exceptions can result in the program crashing.
Ultherapy Side Effects
Muscle deterioration. Scarring. Fat atrophy that can result in a sunken facial appearance. Vision loss.
Treatment with Ultherapy at regular intervals can slow aging in the face and potentially delay the need for facelift, neck lift, or brow lift surgery later on. The results from your initial treatment may last a year or more; we recommend periodic treatments with Ultherapy to help maintain your results.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that serves as an alternative to a traditional facelift. The procedure corrects signs of aging like wrinkling and sagging. It's an FDA-approved solution that stimulates collagen production, which in turn helps restore the health and structure of the skin tissues.
