Thread Lift in Southlake

Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are dissolvable sutures that provide an immediate manual lift and a long-term biological lift. Our experts carefully place these treads beneath your skin’s surface, anchoring your skin into a more lifted, youthful position that accentuates your natural contours.

As these threads break down in the months after treatment, they trigger collagen production. Collagen proteins act as the building blocks for your skin, so by increasing production, we give your skin the power to rebuild itself. Meanwhile, the threads also stimulate the production of elastin—the fibers that give your skin its “bounce” and flexibility, keeping it firm.

This process takes about 2 to 3 months, building on your initial results to preserve them for up to a year by laying a stronger foundation. At The Aesthetics Society, we use PDO threads to deliver lasting, impactful results that look and feel authentic to you.

Both PDO threads and collagen-building injectables, like Sculptra and Radiesse, stimulate collagen production. However, they work differently to achieve specific goals.

We gently insert PDO threads beneath your skin, providing an immediate lifted effect. As the threads dissolve over the following months, they increase collagen in the area, enhancing contours and firmness. Sculptra and Radiesse are injectable formulas that boost collagen production to restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles.

So, we may recommend a thread lift in Southlake if your main goal is to address sagging, and collagen builders if your primary goal is to replenish volume or smooth specific wrinkles.
Your skin, vision, and lifestyle are unique, so we’ll help you decide which approach is best for you during your consultation. In some cases, we combine injectables with threads for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Absolutely! While PDO threads manually lift your skin, while building its strength internally, precise injectables allow you to achieve comprehensive results.

For example, Botox builds on threads’ wrinkle-combatting powers, targeting the underlying muscles. Dermal fillers complement the natural volume boost from PDO threads, giving you the ability to accentuate specific areas, like your lips or temples.

By blending injectables with PDO threads, we rejuvenate your face on every layer—the skin, muscle, and structure. At The Aesthetics Society, our goal isn’t to change who you are. Rather, it’s to restore harmony and balance, avoiding “overdone” results and preserving your confidence.

Preparing for a thread lift is simple, but it helps ensure treatment goes as smoothly and effectively as possible. For at least a week before your appointment, avoid tanning, waxing, or facials, which can increase sensitivity.

To minimize bruising, do not use alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E. Unless your provider says otherwise, temporarily discontinue all blood-thinning medications.

On the day of your visit, drink plenty of water and eat a light meal to stay hydrated and comfortable. Arrive with a clean face, free of any makeup or skincare products. From the moment you walk through our doors, you are the priority. We’ll ensure you feel seen, heard, and truly cared for at every step, supporting you throughout the process.

After your thread lift in Southlake, it’s normal to experience some bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the insertion sites. As the threads settle over the next 1 to 2 weeks, these mild symptoms and “pulling” sensation diminish.

For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid makeup and extensive facial movements like yawning to keep the area clean and avoid excess pressure. Do not exercise or use saunas, hot tubs, tanning beds, or pools for the first week, and hold off on skin treatments like facials. To control any discomfort, use Tylenol and a cool compress as needed, and avoid alcohol and smoking, which can slow healing.

Most swelling and tenderness resolve within 2 weeks. Then, you can return to your normal routine and watch your results build over the next 2 to 3 months.
