Non-surgical tummy tuck

A non-surgical tummy tuck at Cosmetica Med Spa in Boca Raton uses a combination of PDO threads, including mono threads, to lift and tighten loose skin on the stomach and stimulate new collagen, with no surgery or general anesthesia.

What it helps with

• Loose or crepey skin on the stomach
• Skin laxity after weight loss or pregnancy
• Mild sagging around the belly button

How it works

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are placed under the skin with fine needles. Some threads give a lifting effect, while mono threads are placed in a mesh-like pattern to tighten and improve skin quality. As the threads dissolve, your body builds new collagen around them. Learn more about PDO threads.

What to expect

After numbing, treatment takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Mild soreness, swelling and bruising are common for a few days. Your provider will give you guidelines on exercise and activity during healing.

Results

You'll notice some tightening right away, with results improving over the next few months as collagen builds. Individual results vary.

Cost in Boca Raton

PDO thread treatments for the body start at $999. Your exact plan and price depend on the size of the area.

How does a non-surgical tummy tuck work?

We place dissolvable PDO threads, including mono threads, under the skin of the abdomen. They lift and tighten loose skin and stimulate new collagen as they dissolve.

Is it the same as a surgical tummy tuck?

No. A surgical tummy tuck removes excess skin and can repair separated abdominal muscles. Threads improve mild to moderate skin laxity and don't remove fat or repair muscle separation.

How long do results last?

The threads dissolve within about six months, but the collagen they stimulate can keep results going for a year or more.

Who is a good candidate?

People with mild to moderate loose skin on the stomach, often after weight loss or pregnancy, who aren't ready for surgery.
