The aging process is destined to happen. Facial rejuvenation is a way to defeat this natural process. Although we can’t turn back the clock, medical procedures could help obtain a youthful and refreshed look. With options of fillers and PDO threads, you can achieve results instantly. Fillers and PDO Threads are non-surgical procedures to give a youthful look. They are both safe and effective options. Even though they both achieve similar results, talk to your physician to see which procedure would be best for you.
Fillers such as Botox, are an injectable liquid that creates volume to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Fillers add volume which will give a smoother look.Fillers are used to give sagging areas a plumper look. Results from Botox will remain for about 6 to 8 months.
PDO Threads are used to tighten and lift sagging areas of the face with tiny hair-like threads made of proteins. Threads are placed under the skin with a fine needle.Placing threads in proper areas will pull skin creating a tight youthful look. In addition to physically lifting skin to give a tight look, PDO Threads will help stimulate collagen production and hyaluronic acid which helps maintain refreshed skin making lasting results. Results of PDO Threads last about 18-24 months.
Botox helps reach and relax muscle but does not increase skin elasticity likePDO Threads. Since Botox stops muscle movements, wrinkles are refined giving a smoother appearance. Botox could give the illusion of tighter facial skin, but PDOThreads physically tighten facial skin. The tight skin appearance from Botox will fade over a few months.
Both procedures are beneficial to obtain a youthful look. Like any medication,side-effects may occur. Possible side-effects are similar with both procedures.Aesthetic dissatisfaction, bumps, lumps, bruising, swelling, allergic reactions, and occlusions are all possible side-effects of Botox and PDO Threads. Talk to your doctor to discuss any concerns about either process. After looking at your history, desired results and concerns, your provider will see which option would be best for you.
