What Is Skin Tightening and Lifting?
Over the course of our younger years, we can enjoy a copious supply of natural nutrients, which helps to keep our skin soft and firm. Later on, this essential stock of vitamins can run low, making these tissues lose volume. This leads to lines, wrinkles, and droopy skin. If you wish to boost the firmness of your complexion with a noninvasive solution, then you might want to have Ultherapy® or a PDO thread lift at NuMe Aesthetics.
Ultherapy is a noninvasive, nonsurgical intervention for loose facial, neck, and décolletage skin. Ultherapy's ultrasound energy can change the laxity of your skin in a short treatment session. When your skin starts to heal after your treatment, your body goes into a natural collagen production mode to repair the skin. A polydioxanone or PDO thread lift is a nonsurgical treatment that lifts and tightens drooping skin. The thread lift is an excellent choice for our clients who are hesitant to have a facelift operation but would like to improve evidence of aging, including lines, folds, and sagging skin.
By utilizing modern technology for noninvasive skin tightening and lifting, our treatments can help stimulate the development of collagen in order to help you get more taut, smoother skin. Our aesthetic professionals, led by Dr. Kevin Fung in Seattle, WA, are happy to perform skin tightening and lifting treatments for clients who wish to rejuvenate and firm their skin with sought-after nonsurgical procedures.
How Does Skin Tightening and Lifting Work?
When you arrive at NuMe Aesthetics for your appointment, we'll start by cleaning the target areas. We may give you a desensitizing cream to keep you comfortable during your procedure. During the Ultherapy treatment, a handheld device that focuses ultrasound energy will glide across your skin. Based on how many areas you're getting treated, your procedure can last about 1 – 2 hours. It's very common for your skin to look mildly pink and inflamed. You can apply cold packs and take an over-the-counter pain reliever to treat any pain and inflammation. You can apply makeup after your session and get back to your day as usual.
If you and our aesthetic professional choose the PDO thread lift procedure, we'll begin treatment by applying a local numbing agent before we place a fine needle into the skin to pull the threads from one part of your face to another, tugging on them to create a lifted look. The procedure takes anywhere from 20 – 30 minutes and is virtually pain-free. You will notice an immediate lift of the area, whether it's the face, the neck, the nose, the brow, the jowls, or any other body area; that lift is followed by collagen formation for the next 12 – 18 months, which is the usual duration of results.
NuMe Aesthetics Reviews
I love Nume Aesthetics! I see Dr. Fung and have got lower face/neck RF microneedling + full face/neck lasering done and love my results. I’m 34 and grew up playing water polo in Southern California so my sun damage is pretty bad. My face was looking tired and sun-spotted. The microneedling and lasering really made my skin look refreshed and rejuvenated! Dr. Fung is awesome through the whole process. I was experiencing some spiciness during one round of microneedling and he made sure to adapt the numbing agents to fit my needs. He’s also a little jokester! I’m going back soon for PRF. The office is in an unassuming business building but the people inside couldn’t be nicer. Extra shoutouts to Shelby at the front desk who didn’t hesitate to dish about her experiences with the treatments she’s had which really helped out with my nervousness, and also to Dr. Vicky who absolutely had my back and showed sooooo much kindness and patience when I got emotional (my grandmother had just passed) during a treatment! I went to a ton of consults when looking for a MedSpa and I’m really glad I trusted my gut and chose Nume.

Skin Tightening and Lifting FAQ
Will I see results from Ultherapy right away?
Immediate improvement will not be readily seen right after your first Ultherapy treatment. Optimal results become more noticeable after a few months. Typically, most patients opt to have a repeat treatment around 12 months after their initial session.
How long will PDO thread lift results last?
This will depend on the initial health of your complexion. Usually, the results of thread lifting may be visible for at least a year and a half or more. Following this period, you may want to get a follow-up procedure to help you maintain a refreshed appearance. It's possible to additionally extend your results by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which involves a balanced diet, frequent exercise, and an at-home skin routine.
Is a PDO thread lift painful?
No, most clients do not have pain when they have PDO thread lifting. Prior to starting, a numbing agent is usually used to numb the targeted area to help you stay comfortable throughout the duration of your session. A number of individuals may have minor tenderness or redness after the treatment, although this normally dissipates over a few days.
