PDO Threads

A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses Polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift and tighten sagging skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. PDO threads are thin, biodegradable sutures that are inserted under the skin to provide a lifting effect, improve skin tone, and restore youthful contours. The procedure is often used to target areas such as the face, neck, jawline, and eyebrows, offering a non-surgical alternative to facelifts.

PDO threads are absorbed by the body over time, and the lifting effect improves as collagen production is stimulated in the treated area.


      • Non-Surgical Solution: PDO thread lifts offer a non-invasive way to achieve noticeable lifting and tightening without undergoing surgery or anesthesia.

      • Minimal Downtime: Unlike facelifts, the PDO thread lift requires minimal downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days.

      • Long-Lasting Results: Results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of threads used and individual factors like age and skin condition.

      • Stimulates Collagen Production: As the PDO threads dissolve, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, improving skin texture and tone over time.

      • Customizable: PDO thread lifts can be customized for different areas of the face or body, such as the jawline, cheeks, eyebrows, neck, or nasolabial folds.

      • Natural Results: The results are gradual and natural-looking, giving the skin a rejuvenated appearance without the “pulled” look associated with more invasive procedures.

      • Reduced Wrinkles: PDO threads help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, creating smoother skin.

      • Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the treatment.

  • PDO thread lifts are ideal for individuals who are looking for a non-invasive solution to lift and tighten sagging skin, without the need for surgery or downtime. However, there are some factors to consider:

    Ideal Candidates:

    • Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity: Those experiencing mild to moderate sagging of the face, neck, or jawline.

    • Preventative Anti-Aging: Younger individuals (30s-40s) seeking to prevent early signs of aging and improve skin quality.

    • No Desire for Surgery: People who want a lift without the invasiveness, risks, and recovery time associated with traditional facelifts.

    • Healthy Individuals: People in good overall health with no significant underlying medical conditions that may interfere with the procedure or healing process.

    Not Recommended For:

    • Individuals with active skin infections, eczema, or psoriasis in the treatment area.

    • Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

    • People who are allergic to certain materials or who have a history of keloid scarring.

    • Individuals with severe skin laxity may require more invasive procedures like a traditional facelift.

  • During a PDO thread lift procedure, a trained specialist inserts the PDO threads beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. These threads are made from a medical-grade material that is safe, non-toxic, and eventually dissolves. As the threads are placed in the dermal layer, they immediately create a mechanical lift, but the real benefit comes as the threads stimulate the skin to produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

    Step-by-Step Process:

    1. Consultation: Your specialist will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the areas that would benefit from PDO threads.

    2. Numbing: A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to ensure minimal discomfort.

    3. Thread Insertion: PDO threads are inserted using a needle or cannula, placed precisely under the skin in the targeted areas to lift and tighten the skin.

    4. Collagen Stimulation: Over the next several months, the threads stimulate the production of collagen, improving skin elasticity and tone.

    5. Dissolving Threads: PDO threads are gradually absorbed by the body over 6-12 months, leaving behind firmer, tighter skin.

  • To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery, it’s important to follow pre-care instructions prior to the PDO thread lift.

    • Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood thinners, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 48 hours before your procedure to minimize bruising.

    • Avoid Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours before your procedure, as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.

    • Discontinue Retinoids: If you're using retinoids, stop for at least a week before treatment to minimize irritation or skin sensitivity.

    • No Tanning: Avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure for at least a week before the procedure to prevent skin sensitivity.

    • Avoid dental procedures 30 days post treatment

    • Consult Your Provider: Make sure to discuss any underlying health conditions with your provider to ensure you're a suitable candidate for PDO threads.

  • Following your PDO thread lift, following proper post-care guidelines is crucial to achieving the best results and minimizing any potential side effects.

    • Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for the first few days.

    • Keep Head Elevated: For the first 1-2 nights, try to sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling and discomfort.

    • Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from intense physical activities, exercise, or heavy lifting for at least 2 weeks after the procedure.

    • No Heat Exposure: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or direct heat to the treated areas for at least 2 weeks to minimize swelling and bruising.

    • Gentle Skincare: Use mild, non-irritating skincare products and avoid products containing acids, retinol, or alcohol for the first week after treatment.

    • Follow-up Appointment: Schedule any necessary follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.

    • Monitor for Complications: Mild bruising, swelling, or redness is common immediately after the procedure and should subside within a few days. If you experience excessive pain, infection, or other unusual symptoms, contact your provider promptly.
