PDO Smuth threads are fine dissolvable sutures placed just under the skin. They are not there to pull anything. As they dissolve over the following months your skin builds fresh collagen along the path they left, and the tissue they sat in supports itself better for it.
This is what Sam reaches for in the places a needle full of filler does not belong: the lip border, the fine vertical lines above the mouth, the crepey skin at the tear trough.
Sam does not do lifting threads. Barbed threads that grab and reposition tissue are a more invasive procedure, and they are not on her menu. Everything she places is a Smuth thread, and the point of it is collagen.
Sam looks at your skin quality and what is actually bothering you, then says whether threads are the right tool. Often the answer is threads plus something else, or something else first.
The area gets numbed thoroughly before she places a single thread.
Threads go in through a fine needle or cannula, laid down in a lattice across the area. A session usually runs 30 to 60 minutes depending on how much ground you are covering.
Nothing dramatic happens that afternoon. Over the following two to three months, as the threads dissolve, collagen builds along every line they left, and the area firms from the inside.
The threads themselves absorb over about four to six months, and the collagen they leave behind keeps working after that. A lot of her clients treat once or twice a year.
Tenderness, tightness and possible bruising are normal for the first week. For two weeks: no dramatic facial expressions, no dental work, no massages or facials, sleep on your back, and skip strenuous exercise. Nothing looks dramatically different right away — the result builds over the following two to three months as collagen forms along the threads.
Your pdo smuth threads appointment is with Samantha Cormier, CRNA, FNP-C. Her first career was anesthesia, so the hand placing your units spent years doing precision work under a great deal more pressure than this. Nothing is rushed and no sales quota shapes your plan.
Your consult ends with a mapped plan and an exact total, and you approve it before anything touches your skin. Sometimes the right answer is a smaller treatment than you came in for. Sometimes it's nothing yet. You'll get that answer too.
People drive to Maurice for pdo smuth threads from Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Abbeville, Milton and Scott. Most work out that the drive takes less time than the wait at a busy Lafayette clinic, and the appointment itself is nothing like one.
Parking is free and right at the door. There's no waiting room to sit in, and Sam will remember your last visit without opening a chart. It's the counter-commute, south, away from the Ambassador Caffery traffic, toward quieter care.
Book online, or text Sam first if you have questions. Either way the plan gets mapped and priced with you before anything happens.
