Threads and Fillers: What’s the Difference?

That’s it, you’ve had enough! You’re ready to get real results in rejuvenating your face and are tired of wasting thousands of dollars on expensive skincare products that don’t work.

So, what’s the difference between threads and fillers?

I’ve Never Heard of Threads – Give Me the Quick 411 on PDO Thread Lifts!

Threads, or thread lift, is a cosmetic treatment that lifts the skin on your face in order for you to appear more youthful and your skin to look refreshed.

Medical-grade polydioxanone (PDO) threads are gently sewn into your face and pulled tight to lift your skin like a surgical facelift. This makes your skin smooth and wrinkle-free.

They are minimally invasive and your procedure is done in about 45 minutes. Thread lifts are considered a low-risk procedure, and most people return to their usual activities after their treatment.

The results from threads last anywhere from one to three years. The threads used to pull your skin tight dissolve over time, and you need to return for further treatment to keep your results.

What’s the Difference Between Threads and Fillers?

Fillers, also called dermal fillers, are a wonderful treatment if you’re not quite ready for a thread lift, which is a little more invasive (though not nearly as invasive as surgery).

They are cosmetic injections that give your body a boost in collagen production and help your skin look more lifted and youthful.

Dermal fillers work well for your cheeks, lips, and other areas. They are non-invasive and require zero downtime, while lasting anywhere from six months to five years, depending on your brand of filler.

How Do I Choose Between Dermal Fillers and Thread Lifts?

The only way to know which treatment is right for you is by scheduling a consultation with a professional. Both have advantages, so be sure to completely discuss your cosmetic goals with your provider.
