Try a Non-Surgical Facelift with PDO Threads

When you examine your face, do you see wrinkles, sagging skin, and the other signs of aging? Would you like to do something about these problems? If so, we invite you to learn more about a non-surgical facelift with PDO threads.

Many individuals have benefited from surgical facelift procedures. These procedures are designed to remove excess skin in the mid face and lower face area. Since excess skin and tissue are removed, a person is left with skin that is tight and looks more youthful. The results of this procedure are permanent. While this procedure has a lot of benefits, it also has a lot of risks and things that may make a person nervous about using a facelift. Or it may be that a person would like to have a facelift performed, but they do not qualify or do not have the time needed to recover afterward.

A Great Alternative to a Surgical Facelift

A non-surgical facelift with PDO threads is going to give you many of the benefits that come from a surgical facelift without the risks and downsides. The treatment involves inserting a number of threads under the skin.

The main purpose of a non-surgical facelift with a PDO thread lift is to provide a structure under the facial skin where more collagen will grow. When you have more collagen growing in your facial skin, your skin is going to look youthful. You will have fewer lines and wrinkles.

The threads that are used for this treatment will dissolve over time, likely about six months after the time they are inserted. But the great thing is that the structure of collagen that was created around the threads will be left in place. You are likely to benefit from a non-surgical facelift with PDO threads for about two years.

Are You a Good Candidate for This Treatment?

Would you like the benefits that come from a facelift without the risks and downsides? If so, you may be a good candidate for PDO threads. If you are looking to address the loss of facial volume and wrinkles in the mid and lower face, this treatment can help.

You are warmly invited to contact our office in order to set up a consultation. This will be the best way for you to learn about your candidacy for a non-surgical facelift with PDO threads. When you come in for your consultation, you will have all your questions answered about the treatment.

Old Town Med Spa is located in Chicago, IL.

How Does Arm Tightening Work with PDO Threads

Aging and weight changes affect almost every part of your body. Some of these areas, such as the upper arms, can be difficult to tone and tighten. Even if you increase muscle mass, the skin may not have enough elasticity to maintain a smooth appearance over the area. If you notice loose skin and fat on the backside of your upper arms, arm tightening with PDO threads may be a good solution.

The Advantages of Arm Tightening with PDO Threads

Arm tightening with PDO threads, also known as the feather lift, is an excellent, minimally-invasive alternative to a traditional arm lift. With this option, there are multiple advantages such as little downtime, no visible side effects, no need for anesthesia, and a higher degree of precision.

Candidates for Arm Tightening with PDO Threads

Those who wish to rejuvenate and/or lift their skin, increase their skin volume, and smooth out their wrinkles may be eligible for this procedure. The best way to find out if you are a good candidate for arm tightening with PDO threads is to schedule a consultation so we can evaluate the skin and fat on your upper arms.

How Arm Tightening with PDO Threads Works

For arm tightening, fine surgical sutures are inserted through absorbable polydioxanone thread, which is then inserted into the skin to lift and support it. Your body begins to develop new collagen and fibrous tissue shortly after the PDO threads are inserted into the upper arm area. The result is a firmer, younger appearance. This procedure can also be supplemented with other therapies such as laser skin treatment and injectables for a fully revitalized appearance. Results tend to last from six months to a full year, after which a sequence of follow-up treatments can help you maintain the optimal effects.

To learn more about arm tightening with PDO threads, get in touch with Old Town Med Spa to make an appointment with us! At our two offices in Chicago, our dedicated staff will be delighted to explain this process to you in greater detail and help you enhance the appearance of your arms. Contact us to schedule your consultation today!

Erase Unwanted Ink with Laser Tattoo Removal

For many people, getting a tattoo may be considered a rite of passage, an act of rebellion, or simply a way to express their individuality; however, there may come a time when you find yourself regretting your decision to have your significant other’s name tattooed on your arm or any other tattoo. Fortunately, laser tattoo removal offers many people an opportunity to right their wrongs by providing them with a clean slate.

What is laser tattoo removal exactly? It is a procedure that uses laser light to remove tattoo ink particles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. It’s important to note, however, that laser tattoo removal cannot be done in one visit; instead, it is done over the course of various treatment sessions. The upside, however, is that each session is quick and convenient.

When it comes to choosing a practitioner to perform your tattoo removal, you should know that this is a procedure that can be performed by medical professionals as well as cosmetologists, cosmetic laser technicians, and other individuals properly trained in laser tattoo removal. That said, you have several options, but you will want to do your due diligence when deciding on the right practitioner for your tattoo removal needs. Look no further than our expert team in Chicago.

With more people turning to laser tattoo removal to get rid of their regrets, or artwork that they have outgrown, it should be noted that some patients get better results than others. As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, results can vary.

In summation, regardless of what prompted you to get your tattoo, modern technology has made it possible for you to, effectively, wipe your slate clean, or at least significantly fade your tattoo. If you’re ready for ink-free skin, consider scheduling a consultation at Old Town Medspa in Chicago. Contact us today to book an appointment.

BOTOX Injection: Target Facial Wrinkles and Lines

 

If you are ready to reduce the fine lines and deeper wrinkles on your face, then it is possible with a fast noninvasive treatment that is available from medical spas or cosmetic surgeons. Wrinkles on the face can begin at a young age due to your genetics or from bad habits such as smoking cigarettes. You don’t have to cope with an aging appearance because you can have simple injections of BOTOX in only a few minutes.

How Does BOTOX Work?

BOTOX reduces the deep wrinkles and fine lines in your face by paralyzing the facial muscles near the injection site. This is why it is important for an expert to inject the BOTOX correctly so that you will have the best outcome from the procedure.

How Is the BOTOX Injected?

First, our aesthetician or physician will collect your medical information to determine if you are a candidate for BOTOX injections. During this examination, your facial structure is analyzed to understand where the BOTOX is required. Your skin is cleansed with alcohol pads to remove pathogens before the needle of the syringe is inserted. The BOTOX enters your underlying skin layers in only a few seconds.

Where Is BOTOX Injected?

BOTOX is typically injected between the eyes or around the eyes to reduce wrinkles such as crow’s-feet. Many individuals also want to have injections around the lips to eliminate the fine lines caused by puckering while smoking. Additional areas where you can have injections include between the corners of the lips and the edge of the nose where marionette folds occur.

What Are the Benefits from BOTOX?

The benefits are that it doesn’t require anesthesia, incisions, or a long recovery time. You won’t need to have stitches in your skin, and you also won’t need to wear bandages on your face. You can schedule an appointment to undergo BOTOX treatment the same day.

How Long Do the Benefits From BOTOX Last?

The benefits from BOTOX can last for several months to a year, but you can undergo new BOTOX treatments later. You will need a new evaluation from an expert before undergoing the treatment. If you have areas of your face that you want to have treated with BOTOX, then inform the cosmetic surgeon or aesthetician.
