While many athletes use full-body cryotherapy to help their physical recovery, others use it for cosmetic benefits. Cryotherapy can help improve skin tone and remove fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help boost energy levels and improve sleep. Some even claim it helps improve mood and relieve stress. It’s important to note that cryotherapy is not risk-free. The extreme cold can be dangerous for those with existing medical conditions, such as heart problems. Speak with your doctor before undergoing any cryotherapy treatment.

PDO THREADS — RESTORE YOUR YOUTH
If you’ve been in the office lately, you’ve likely met Hope, our non-surgical technician and physician assistant. Hope has over eight years of experience in facial aesthetics, injectables, micro-needling, laser treatments, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and IV therapy. One of Hope’s specialties is PDO Threads, a non-invasive and non-surgical cosmetic procedure to help reduce and reverse the signs of aging on the face and body. Areas such as the face, neck, elbows, and knees where skin may start to sag can be tightened up with this quick and easy procedure. With the same dissolvable threads and sutures we use in surgery, we tighten up these areas. The process works just like a Venetian blind: It pulls everything “up,” and while the body brings in collagen to strengthen that area, it is simultaneously tightened up. PDO Threads are a great way to put off a facelift
for many years and are oftentimes used in conjunction with fillers to create a more youthful appearance. The desirable effects of PDO Threads last about a year and can then be repeated to achieve the same look. The procedure is easy! We will bring you into the office and numb the area. Hope will then make small, tiny poke holes and insert the threads. Most of the time, five threads are necessary on each side to achieve the desired look. The downtime for the procedure is minimal, and you can expect minimal risk of nerve damage and some slight bruising that will quickly heal up. For the first week or two, you can expect your face to look and feel a bit tight, but this will quickly fade to the results you desire! For more information on PDO Threads or to schedule an appointment for a consultation with Hope, give us a call today! We are ready to reveal a more youthful you!
