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
LOVE how I feel when in the talented hands of this medi-spa, whether the intimate Northgate location or the sophisticated Bellevue office. The beautiful Ms Vicky, the ever-so endearing Dr Kevin, and the entire staff have nothing but YOUR best interest on the line. Don’t expect upsell or pressure, just genuine consideration for your comfort, budget, concern, and goals. I’m 3 yrs into my orchestrated maintenance process of Botox, fillers, and skin tightening/resurfacing. And at 62 I look better than I did in my 40’s…and nobody knows why (well maybe now). I’m no stranger to have dabbled here and there in the past but under their guidance, I have found my forever team. With the extensive array of modern equipment, I will continue to trust the process, always having overwhelming results!
Very professional and helpful throughout consultation and treatment process. Came to clear up acne scarring and Dr, Kevin provided different options and his ultimate recommendation.
I was a little doubtful coming in for a facial. I want sure of it would be worth it or make a difference and I was pleasantly surprised. It is such a great experience. Always calming and relaxing and I feel well taken care of.
I have been visiting NuMe for the past few months for varies treatments, including injections, laser and light treatments. My first impression was the elegantly designed interior, which provides a clean, professional and calming ambiance. Staffs are professional throughout the whole process, consultations were thorough, treatments and aftercare were explained clearly. With their latest technology and techniques, treatments were not only effective but also comfortable. I am very happy with all the results, skin improvements are very noticeable, particularly in terms of pore size and overall plumpness. Pigmentation issues were treated as well, leaving me more even skin tone and lighter dark spots. As they are committed to continuous education and staying updated with the latest techniques and technologies, I look forward to future treatments and results.
Visualize a cozy and peaceful place where you are at the center of the universe. That’s how Shelby and Dr. Fung made me feel. From the moment I arrived, Shelby and Dr. Fung customized my treatment taking into consideration numerous health factors including my ethnicity. That was a first and I was very impressed by their professionalism and knowledge. Additionally, they helped select the most cost effective treatment for me. I had fine combed this city for a skin clinic where I could have my skin evaluated by a physician, and finally found it! Dr.Fung and Shelby are a dream team. I just had my first treatment of a series of 3 and am extremely pleased with results.

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.
