Question

I have done my pdo thread lifting for 2 month, can I have the gentle yag laser skin tightening now? Thanks a lot

There is no reason to not be able to do your laser. It can even be done at the same time of the threadlift procedure. Anyway it is better to ask your doctor. Good luck

Gregory DeLange, MD · Answer

after 4-6 months the threads will be completely dissolved and it will be safe to use any laser without worrying about affecting the threads.  This is my recommendation to my patients, better to be safe and protect that investment.  kh

Your best result after a Thread Lift, whether this is Silhouette(PLLA) or Novathreads(PDO) or Mint threads(PDO) are not the day of your procedure but in my experience a window of 4 to 6 months later.  Gentle YAG laser treatment, or Ultherapy, or even Infini RF can be done immediately prior to a Thread Lift procedure, but the real question is how long to wait after a Thread Lift procedure before doing a deeper reaching energy base treatment, and as a general rule with my patients we are waiting at least 3 to 4 months.
