Thread lifts are a minimally invasive way to achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance. Key benefits include:
PDO and Silhouette InstaLift threads are currently the only two threads approved by the FDA for the purpose of lifting facial tissue. However, while both of these procedures rely on a similar mechanism of action, there are some key differences between them.
PDO Threads are sutures that are made from a biocompatible material. PDO threads remain in place for about four to six months, after which point they slowly dissolve. Patients can expect to keep seeing the results of their PDO Threads lift for a year or more after their treatment. This effect comes from the improvement in skin condition that results from collagen stimulation
PDO Threads come in several different styles: barbed sutures, which are ideal for gathering skin therefore producing more of a lift, and smooth sutures, which produce less of a lift, but are excellent for collagen stimulation.
The application of PDO Threads is relatively quick and easy for the patient. Local anesthesia is used to numb the areas that are going to be treated, then a small instrument (a thin cannula) are used to insert the threads below the skin. This entire process usually takes just 30 to 45 minutes.
The Silhouette InstaLift is focused on lifting the skin and stimulating collagen production. Rather than being smooth or barbed, InstaLift contains a number of sutures interspersed with tiny “cones” that grab at the tissue. This allows the threads to gather more skin, producing a more noticeable lift to the cheeks and jowls.
Silhouette InstaLift threads are designed to create fairly long-lasting results, lasting anywhere from 1-2 years.
The Silhouette InstaLift procedure takes about 45 minutes on average and can be performed under local anesthesia. A specially designed thin needle is used to insert the threads into the skin. This procedure is very well tolerated with little downtime.
The average cost of “Threads” is $600-$3,300 (depending on how many threads used).

I was needing surgery in my knee. I canceled surgery and decided to get a stem cell injection instead. I immediately felt strength and mobility return to my knee. Matt McKinlay at Regenerative & Joint Clinic did an incredible job. He is exceptional PT to go to for this procedure.

Hey Matt, thought I would check in with my progress after stem injection. I am virtually pain free and enjoying my gardening this year. Range of motion is a bit limited, but still can put on my own socks. I am so pleased with our joint decision of doing a stem cell implant. I do thank you for helping me with this decision. Life is great. Thank you again…KM

Matt was great. He listened to my issues when others would not. I felt 1000% better when I started my treatment plan. Should have gone a long time ago!
