I had a facial tread lift 1.5 years ago and am now planning fraxel duo restore treatment. Is that possible?

Question

William Groff, DO · Answer

Fraxel doesn’t affect a thread lift, whether it was done more than a year ago or yesterday. The laser energy doesn’t reach down to the level of the threads and won’t harm them, anyway. Also, after a year and a half, your threads have been replaced by your body’s natural collagen. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert with Fraxel to get a stunning, uniform rejuvenation.

Michelle Ellern, DO · Answer

Fraxel will not affect a thread lift in anyway and are perfectly fine to get as close together as you like.  Good luck with your treatment.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

A Fraxel laser procedure is perfectly fine after having a thread lift. The PDO threads will have dissolved after 1.5 years anyways. Even if other threads were used, the laser will not affect them.
