Daxxify vs Botox: Cost, Units, and Expected Outcomes
Considering injectable treatments but not sure which is best for you? Learn the differences between Botox and Daxxify, including the units used.
PDO Thread Lift · Westchase, Tampa
PDO threads lift sagging skin along the jawline, cheeks, and neck without surgery, placed at our Westchase flagship, where the deepest provider bench in our practice sees the lift through every week of healing.
The Honest Timeline
A PDO thread lift starts working the moment it is placed and keeps working long after you leave. The threads are polydioxanone, an absorbable suture material regulated among aesthetic devices, and your body clears them completely over four to six months. The lift you see on day one comes from the threads; the result you keep comes from the collagen your skin builds along them.
We tell you about that whole arc up front, including the swollen week in the middle, because a good thread lift is planned in months, not minutes. Westchase is the location Dr. Tali Arviv, MD built the practice on in 2014, and its team includes three advanced-practice providers, the deepest clinical bench of our three Florida locations.
Treated Areas
Threads answer droop. When the real concern is lost volume, dermal fillers rebuild it, and when it is gradual thinning across the midface, Sculptra works the collagen angle over months. Your consult sorts out which of the three your skin is asking for.
Large threads lift and contour where the jaw meets the neck. Deeper neck laxity often takes several threads and sometimes a paired skin-tightening plan.
Thin, hair-like threads build collagen support around smile lines, a route for guests who want structure there rather than added filler volume.
Threads also tighten skin on the abdomen, the arms, and above the knees, usually over a few sessions rather than one.
When neck skin needs more than a thread can give, your provider can pair the lift with skin tightening from the flagship's device bench. We also place threads in Miami and Ocala, so your plan travels with you.
What to Expect
The appointment is short. The result is not. Here is how the weeks after placement actually go, so nothing on the calendar surprises you.
A provider maps where your skin has loosened and tells you whether large threads, small threads, or a combination plan will carry the result you want.
Threads go in under local anesthesia through a cannula, which bruises less than a needle alone. Most guests book midday and return to their afternoon.
Swelling peaks here, then settles. A compression garment helps, and for about four weeks you skip heat, lasers, and wide jaw movements.
The full lift shows within two to three weeks, and collagen keeps building as the threads dissolve, with results lasting about a year.
Lift, Not Fill
Threads reposition mild laxity and prompt collagen along the line they take, placing this between the injectables on the bench and surgery. That middle position decides whether it suits you.
Threads are placed beyond the face here as well, so the consult covers which areas belong in your plan and which are better served by something else. Book a consult and the map gets drawn with you.

Individual results vary. These are real patients photographed at our offices; no photo is a promise of your own outcome, and only a consult can tell you what is realistic.
In Their Words
No published review of the Westchase flagship names a thread lift, so we will not imply otherwise. What the record carries is the care around a visit and guests years into being patients here, and that is what the reviews of this address actually record, so it is what we quote.

Address & Phone
Hours
The threads dissolve over four to six months, and the collagen they leave behind holds the result for about a year. If you want the lift to carry on past that, your provider maps a maintenance rhythm at your consult.
Yes, and the neck is where combinations earn their keep. When laxity runs deeper than threads alone can lift, your provider may pair them with Ultherapy or laser skin tightening, sequenced so each treatment has room to work.
Our Westchase team includes three advanced-practice providers, the largest clinical roster of our three Florida locations. Whether threads suit your skin, and which provider builds your plan, is decided together at your consult.
Yes. Thin threads add support to crepey skin on the abdomen, the arms, and above the knees. Body work usually takes a few sessions, and flexible financing helps when a plan spans several visits.
