Frequently Asked Questions

What is MediThread?

MediThread is a non-surgical facelift using PDO (polydioxanone) threads to lift and tighten sagging skin while stimulating collagen production. At healing in Cornelius, NC, we insert dissolvable threads beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect and trigger natural collagen production for long-lasting skin rejuvenation and tightening.

How does MediThread work?

MediThread uses biocompatible PDO threads inserted into the skin with fine needles or cannulas. The threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip tissue to lift sagging skin immediately. Over 6-12 months, the threads dissolve naturally while stimulating collagen and elastin production, creating ongoing skin tightening and rejuvenation even after the threads are absorbed.

What areas can MediThread treat?

MediThread effectively treats the face, neck, jawline, eyebrows, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and neck bands. The treatment lifts sagging skin, defines facial contours, and tightens loose tissue. Many Lake Norman area patients use MediThread for non-surgical facial rejuvenation without the downtime or risks of traditional facelift surgery.

Is MediThread painful?

MediThread is performed with local anesthetic to ensure comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during thread insertion, describing it as mild pressure or tugging sensations. At Purefico MedSpa, the procedure takes 30-60 minutes depending on treatment areas, and most patients tolerate it very well.

How long do MediThread results last?

MediThread results typically last 12-18 months. The immediate lifting effect lasts as long as the threads remain intact (6-12 months), while collagen production continues to improve skin quality for 12-18 months after treatment. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments annually to sustain optimal lifting and tightening results.

When will I see MediThread results?

You'll see immediate lifting results after MediThread treatment. Results continue to improve over 2-3 months as collagen production increases and swelling subsides. Optimal skin tightening and rejuvenation effects are visible at 3-6 months as new collagen remodels tissue and enhances the lifting effect.

What is the recovery time after MediThread?

MediThread recovery is minimal. Expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness for 3-7 days. Most patients return to work within 1-2 days and resume normal activities within a week. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 1 week and sleeping with your head elevated for 3-5 nights to minimize swelling.
