LIFT WITHOUT SURGERY

A Subtle Lift That Builds Its Own Support

PDO threads use polydioxanone, a biocompatible, dissolvable suture material, placed beneath the skin to physically lift sagging areas while stimulating new collagen production.

Albany uses Silhouette InstaLift threads, and offers both barbed and smooth thread types depending on your goals: barbed threads grip the underlying tissue to provide an immediate, mechanical lift, while smooth threads focus on stimulating collagen and improving skin quality without the same lifting effect. As the threads dissolve naturally over several months, the collagen they triggered stays behind, holding your results in place well after the thread itself is gone.

care Guidelines

Pre & Post Care Tips

Because threads physically lift and anchor tissue, a bit of extra care after treatment helps everything settle properly.

Pre Care Guidelines

- Avoid blood-thinning medications for a few days before your appointment to reduce bruising risk.
- Come in with a clean, makeup-free face for accurate thread placement.
- Share any previous thread lift or filler history with your provider beforehand.

Post Care Guidelines

- Avoid excessive facial movement, chewing gum, or wide yawning for the first few days.
- Skip strenuous exercise and facials or massages on the treated area for about a week.
- Avoid sleeping face-down to prevent pressure on the newly placed threads.

Kiera has been taking care of me since day one that she started her business. She has never changed her methodology and is one of the kindest, most adorable practitioners you will ever meet and deal with. Not only is she an absolute expert at her craft, but she also deeply cares about her clientele to the point where she’s always trying to give you the best deal but she genuinely cares about the direction she’s taking you for your skin care and wellness. She doesn’t try to sell you anything she knows that you don’t need. I have had many services performed by her, including tox and several other things. She has always been absolutely considerate and amazing!!. And btw…Nobody does lips better than her!! Her facility is absolutely adorable and as soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the most beautiful, caring, informative staff and every inch of the place is well thought out and beautifully decorated. I love going to Albany and specifically to Kiera, but all of the practitioners there are absolutely amazing. 5/5 all day!! You will not be disappointed!!
