#How long do pdo threads last skin#

So, we offer two types of thread techniques, and one is called scalp fixation, and one is non-scalp fixation. She's feeling a little bit of stinging, and so what we're doing is we're using our kinetic vibration tool so that she's comfortable, and then she also is using nitrous, which is laughing gas, so that she's not in pain.

That's a really big difference that you might want to ask your provider about. So, the style of numbing that we do here is more of a tumescent numbing, where we're putting numbing under the skin, not topical numbing.

Lisa Goodman: PDO thread is a type of dissolvable suture that's actually made even from a sugar, and it dissolves underneath your skin over time, and everywhere where a thread is placed does create a little bit of collagen and a little bit of fibrosis, so that over time, as you do more threads, the tissues can stay more lifted.

Treatments at GoodSkin begin at $1,200, and prices vary depending on the thread count and technique.

Founder Lisa Goodman does a non-scalp fixation with results that can last two to three months.

GoodSkin in Los Angeles and New York City offers PDO thread services to help lift and tighten skin.
