PDO Threads

Non-surgical lift for face and neck

About This Treatment

PDO thread lifts use dissolvable polydioxanone sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin. The threads provide immediate lifting while stimulating long-term collagen production for continued improvement over months. Often combined with injectables or skin resurfacing for comprehensive results.

Benefits

Immediate lifting effect, stimulates collagen production, minimal downtime, results lasting 12–18 months

Ideal For

Those experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity in the face, neck, or jowls who want a non-surgical alternative to a facelift

Face Lift Threads

Lift and tighten the midface and jowls

Neck Tightening

How To Prepare

Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, and fish oil for 7–10 days prior. Avoid alcohol for 48 hours. Come with a clean face. Your provider will assess your skin laxity and discuss the type and number of threads recommended for your goals.

What To Expect During Treatment

Your provider will cleanse and numb the treatment area with local anesthetic. Using a thin needle or cannula, PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin and positioned to create the desired lift. You may feel pressure and tugging but shouldn’t feel pain. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area.

What To Expect After Treatment

Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are expected for 5–7 days. Avoid opening your mouth wide, sleeping on your face, or vigorous facial movements for 2 weeks. Skip strenuous exercise for 1 week. You’ll see an immediate lifting effect that continues to improve over 2–3 months as collagen forms around the threads. Results last 12–18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this treatment help with?

PDO threads help lift and support areas of mild to moderate skin laxity while stimulating natural collagen production. They are commonly used to improve sagging skin, facial contours, jawline definition, and overall skin firmness for a more refreshed appearance.

Is there any downtime or recovery?

PDO thread treatments involve minimal downtime. Patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, or mild soreness following treatment, which typically improves within several days to weeks depending on the treatment area.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Some lifting effects are visible immediately after treatment, with continued improvement developing over time as collagen production increases. Results typically last around 12–18 months depending on the individual, treatment area, and maintenance plan.
