Elasty Line PDO Thread Lip is a non-surgical procedure that enhances the lips’ shape and volume while providing a subtle lift to the surrounding areas. PDO (polydioxanone) threads are thin, dissolvable sutures inserted into the lips and lip line to stimulate collagen production and create a natural-looking enhancement. At Art of Skin Dermatology, Tania Cohen, DMSC, PA-C, offers this treatment to patients who want fuller, more defined lips without invasive surgery.
Elasty Line PDO Thread Lip is an excellent option for patients seeking subtle, natural enhancements to their lips and surrounding areas, such as improving the appearance of lip lines or gently lifting sagging corners. It’s particularly suitable for individuals who avoid downtime and risks associated with traditional surgery.
A thorough consultation will be conducted before treatment to ensure this approach is tailored to your aesthetic goals.
HOW DOES ELASTY LINE PDO THREAD LIP WORK?
Elasty Line PDO Thread Lip uses specially designed threads to support and lift the skin while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Threads made of PDO are inserted into the lips and the surrounding areas using fine needles. These threads gently lift the skin and add subtle volume, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance.
As the threads are made from polydioxanone, a material commonly used in medical sutures, they naturally dissolve over time, leaving behind a framework of collagen that continues to enhance the lips long after the threads are gone. This collagen production helps to maintain the results and improve the skin’s texture and firmness around the lips.
This procedure is especially effective for patients looking to achieve a more defined lip contour, reduce fine lines around the mouth, or lift the corners of the lips that may have begun to droop with age. The results are natural-looking and can last several months to a year, depending on the individual’s response to the treatment.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AN ELASTY LINE PDO THREAD LIP TREATMENT?
A typical Elasty Line PDO Thread Lip treatment begins with a consultation to determine your goals and discuss the best approach for your needs. It may be necessary to apply a topical numbing cream to the lips and surrounding areas to ensure comfort throughout the session.
Once the area is numbed, the PDO threads are gently inserted into the lips or around the mouth using fine needles. The number of threads used will depend on your desired outcome, with most treatments taking between 30 and 60 minutes. You may feel some light pressure during the procedure, but most patients report minimal discomfort.
Since Elasty Line PDO Thread Lip is non-surgical, there is no downtime, making it an ideal option for busy professionals.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER AN ELASTY LINE PDO THREAD LIP TREATMENT?
After the Elasty Line PDO Thread Lip procedure, the treated area may experience swelling, redness, or bruising. Usually, these side effects are mild and subside after a few days. The majority of patients are able to resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, avoiding strenuous activity or excessive pressure on the lips for the first few days is advisable.
Results from the procedure can be seen almost immediately, with the lips appearing more defined and subtly lifted. Over the next several weeks, the body’s natural collagen production will further enhance the lips, improving their texture and volume. The results typically last several months to a year, depending on factors such as the patient’s metabolism and skin type.
It may be necessary to schedule follow-up treatments in order to maintain the best results. A customized treatment plan will be developed based on your goals and how your body responds to the procedure.
