PDO Thread Lift in Shorewood, IL

A PDO thread lift at Express Med Spa in Shorewood is a minimally invasive treatment that uses dissolvable polydioxanone threads to lift and support sagging skin. The threads also stimulate natural collagen production, helping improve firmness and facial contour over time.

Key Benefits:
✓ Non-surgical skin lifting
✓ Stimulates natural collagen production
✓ Improves firmness and support
✓ Minimally invasive treatment

PDO thread lifts are commonly used to treat the jawline, cheeks, midface, brows, and neck. Treatment areas are selected based on skin laxity, facial anatomy, and aesthetic goals during consultation at Express Med Spa in Shorewood.

Key Benefits:
✓ Targets facial sagging
✓ Enhances facial contours
✓ Versatile treatment areas
✓ Customized placement strategy

PDO thread lift results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on skin quality, age, lifestyle factors, and individual collagen response. While the threads dissolve over time, collagen stimulation may help maintain improvements beyond thread absorption.
