PDO Thread Lift

A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that uses fine, absorbable threads to lift and tighten loose or sagging skin. The threads are made from polydioxanone, a safe, medical-grade material commonly used in surgical sutures. Once inserted under the skin, they provide an instant lifting effect while gradually stimulating collagen and elastin production as they dissolve over time.

PDO Threads work to support the skin’s structure and improve elasticity, making them an ideal alternative to traditional facelift surgery. The results are a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance with no incisions or scars.

How a PDO Thread Lift Works

During the treatment, your provider will mark the areas to be lifted and apply a local anesthetic for comfort. PDO threads are then carefully inserted under the skin using fine needles or cannulas. Once positioned, the threads are gently tightened to lift and reposition the tissue, instantly improving facial contours.

Over the next several months, the threads naturally dissolve, but their effects continue as new collagen forms around the threads. This process strengthens and tightens the skin, creating long-lasting improvement in texture and tone. The treatment takes about 45–60 minutes, and most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two.

Conditions PDO Thread Lift Can Help With

PDO Thread Lifts can rejuvenate several areas of the face and body that have lost elasticity or firmness. The treatment provides both immediate and long-term tightening effects for a wide range of aging concerns.

Common areas and concerns treated with a PDO Thread Lift include:

• Sagging cheeks or jowls
• Loose skin on the neck or jawline
• Drooping eyebrows or hooded eyelids
• Smile lines and nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)
• Mild sagging of the midface
• Skin laxity in the arms, abdomen, or knees
