Facial Lifting with Minimal Downtime
Experience a youthful lift with our PDO thread treatment. It’s subtle, effective, and can easily fit into your busy life.
What to Expect With PDO Threads
We start with a detailed consultation to plan your treatment and confirm PDO threads are the best choice for giving you the look you desire.
During your procedure, we use the threads to lift and tighten your skin. Dr. Alasio takes her time to guide you through each step of the process.
You can notice a subtle lift right away, with full results developing over the next few weeks as your skin increases collagen and elastin.

The Benefits of PDO Threads
Enjoy a natural lift and refreshed look as your PDO threads stimulate collagen production for a smoother, tighter appearance.
PDO threads are compatible with busy lives. You can get back to your normal routine quickly with no downtime required.
Experience benefits that just keep getting better—results often continue to enhance as your skin heals and improves the treatment area.

I LOVE Intentional Self Aesthetics! Dr. Alessio and her team are kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable with great bedside manners. I received my very first chemical peel from them. Holly and Dr. Teresa listened to my concerns and answered all of my "what if" questions with patience and kindness. The results of my peel were fantastic. I received many compliments on my skin -- people said I was glowing, that I looked great or beautiful, etc. And no, I didn't ask for those compliments -- they were freely given! :D Intentional Self Aesthetics is where I will be receiving all of my medical beauty treatments here on out. Thank you to the wonderful team!
