Elevate Your Expectations
Sandpoint & Coeur d’Alene PDO Thread Lifts at Signature Aesthetics
Most of us will experience signs of aging, like sagging skin, wrinkles, and creases, that we’re not thrilled about. However, not everyone wants to undergo an invasive procedure like a facelift to address these issues. Minimally invasive treatments like injectable neuromodulators and dermal fillers can be effective for many concerns but may not provide the lifting effect you desire. At Signature Aesthetics in Coeur d'Alene & Sandpoint PDO thread lifts offer an excellent middle ground, providing long-lasting lift through the minimally invasive placement of biocompatible polydioxanone threads under the skin.
Areas like the forehead, brow, eyes, cheeks, chin, and neck can be elevated from within to reduce sagging and wrinkles while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results even after the threads dissolve into the surrounding tissue. Our highly qualified providers design every treatment around your unique needs in order to highlight your one-of-a-kind allure. To learn more about PDO thread lifts Sandpoint & Coeur d'Alene patients should schedule a consultation at Signature Aesthetics today.
Uplift From Within
What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift is an innovative procedure that provides subtle inner lift and wrinkle reduction for sagging skin on the face, neck, and other areas. Here at Signature Aesthetics, We only use absorbable PDO Threads by NOVATHREADS. NOVATHREADS are the only pre-loaded PDO threads made in the USA with the highest quality standards for the manufacture and sterilization.
During the procedure, these absorbable PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using a thin needle or cannula. These threads act as a support structure, lifting the skin and boosting collagen production. Over time, as the threads dissolve, the newly formed collagen helps maintain the lifting and tightening effects, resulting in improved skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. Results commonly last for up to a year and as long as three to four years in some individuals. The treatment may also be repeated as needed to refresh your look any time.
Radiate Your True Essence

- Cheeks: Lift and contour for better definition.

Collaborative, Personalized Care
Your PDO Thread Lift Consultation
With our PDO thread lifts Coeur d'Alene & Sandpoint patients start with a personal consultation with a Signature Aesthetics provider. This will include an in-depth discussion of your goals. Your provider will carefully assess potential treatment areas and learn about your medical history in order to determine whether a thread lift is a good fit for you. You will then work together on a customized treatment plan, identifying ideal locations for thread placement and going over preparations for your procedure. This may include avoiding alcohol and medications or supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding for a short period of time. We prioritize a well-informed treatment process, providing attentive support and guidance every step of the way.
Uniquely You
Your PDO Thread Lift Procedure
During a PDO thread lift, you will recline in a comfortable position in one of our serene and state-of-the-art treatment rooms. Your provider will go over your treatment plan once more and then cleanse your skin to prepare it for thread placement. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure minimal sensation. Your provider will then carefully insert the PDO threads using a thin needle. Once inserted, the PDO threads are lifted and anchored into place, where they act as a support structure for the skin, and the needle is removed.
Because local anesthesia is used, you may drive yourself home after your procedure and resume most light activities right away. You will be given detailed aftercare instructions, and your provider will remain on hand to answer any questions and offer additional support and guidance as the treatment area recovers. Here at Signature Aesthetics, we provide a variety of anti-anxiety options like laughing gas or anti-anxiety medications.
