Threads: Euro Threads, and Nova Threads
There are less invasive options for facial rejuvenation that don’t involve extensive surgery or downtime. Threads, specifically PDO threads, offer a unique solution by subtly lifting and tightening the skin with minimal intervention. This innovative procedure can address concerns related to sagging skin and loss of facial contours, providing a more youthful appearance.
Conveniently located to serve San Antonio, New Braunfels and Fredericksburg.
How Threads Work
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are designed to lift and secure sagging skin in a desired position. When inserted under the skin, these threads act as a scaffold, encouraging collagen production around the thread. This process not only lifts the skin but also promotes natural rejuvenation and tightening over time.
Benefits of Threads
Choosing lifting threads like PDO threads, offers numerous advantages:
- Minimally invasive – Far less invasive than traditional facelifts, avoiding surgical incisions.
- Quick recovery – Enables a return to daily activities almost immediately, with minimal downtime.
- Immediate lifting effect – Visible lifting and tightening of the skin right after the procedure.
- Natural collagen stimulation – Promotes the body’s natural collagen production for improved skin texture and firmness.
- Subtle, natural-looking results – Offers a more natural appearance than surgical alternatives.
- Versatile application – Can be used to enhance various facial areas, providing flexibility in treatment options.

Before + After Results
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for thread lifts are those experiencing mild to moderate sagging of facial skin and seeking an improvement in their facial contours without the downtime associated with surgery. Candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
Consultation
At Turquoise Medical Spa, your consultation is a comprehensive evaluation where your facial structure, skin quality, and specific aesthetic goals are discussed in detail. Expect a personalized discussion with our double-board-certified doctor, Dr. Bill Murphy, about how threads can address your concerns, the procedure’s suitability for you, and the anticipated outcomes. This session is crucial for tailoring the treatment plan to your unique needs, ensuring the best possible results.
The Procedure
The thread lift procedure is typically completed within an hour. Initially, local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the process. Using fine needles, PDO threads are then precisely inserted into predetermined areas beneath the skin to achieve the desired lifting effect. The threads act as a scaffold that lifts sagging skin into a more youthful position.
The procedure involves minimal discomfort, and patients can leave the clinic shortly afterward, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
Recovery
After a thread lift, most patients can resume their normal activities within a day. To promote optimal healing, it’s advisable to follow these guidelines: refrain from strenuous exercise and facial massages for up to four weeks, sleep with your head elevated for the initial few nights to reduce swelling, and use cold compresses as necessary. While mild swelling and bruising are common, they typically resolve quickly.
Expected Results
While some results are visible immediately, the full effect of the threads will become apparent as collagen production increases, enhancing skin firmness and texture. The results can last up to 18 months, varying from patient to patient.
Cost
The cost of a thread lift varies depending on the number of threads used and the areas treated. A detailed quote will be provided during your consultation, tailored to your specific treatment plan.
