If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to lift and tighten aging skin, PDO thread lifts may be exactly what you’ve been searching for.
At Eclipse Medical Aesthetics By Cassandra Rommel, ARNP, we offer EuroThreads — a premium line of polydioxanone (PDO) threads — as part of our comprehensive suite of medical aesthetic services in Mount Vernon, WA.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are ultra-fine, biocompatible sutures that have been used in medicine for decades. When strategically placed beneath the skin, these dissolvable threads physically lift sagging tissue while simultaneously stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. The result is a dual-action rejuvenation: an immediate lift combined with progressive skin tightening that continues to improve over several months.
EuroThreads, the brand we use at Eclipse Medical Aesthetics, are recognized for their exceptional quality and consistency. They come in several variations — including smooth threads for collagen stimulation and barbed threads for mechanical lifting — allowing us to customize your treatment based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What Can PDO Threads Treat?
PDO thread lifts are incredibly versatile and can address a wide range of concerns, including:
-
Sagging cheeks and midface volume loss
-
Jowling and loss of jawline definition
-
Drooping brows or hooded upper lids
-
Loose skin along the neck
-
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
-
Fine lines and general skin laxity
What to Expect During Your Treatment
PDO thread treatments are performed right in our Mount Vernon office and typically take between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. After applying a topical numbing agent and local anesthetic, Cassandra carefully inserts the threads using a fine needle or cannula. Most patients describe the procedure as very tolerable with only mild discomfort.
Following your treatment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days — all of which are normal and temporary. Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activities within a day or two. Results from the mechanical lift are visible immediately, while the collagen-stimulating benefits continue to develop over the next three to six months. Thread results typically last 12 to 18 months or longer, depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
