One of the most common signs of aging is sagging skin. While sagging skin isn’t harmful to your health or wellbeing, it has a way of affecting your self-confidence. PDO threadlifting is a safe and effective way to lift sagging skin, helping you realize your aesthetic goals of a younger-looking profile.

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive means of addressing skin laxity, tightening the skin to resemble a younger look. PDO threadlifting utilizes special PDO threads made of polydioxanone, which are commonly used for cardiothoracic surgery and wound closure; they are among the safest materials to be administered into the body.
During a PDO thread lift, dissolvable threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using a cannula. Once placed, they create an immediate lifting effect by gently repositioning the skin’s underlying structure. Over the next several weeks, the threads trigger your body’s natural healing response, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
As the threads gradually dissolve, your skin continues to strengthen from within. You’re left with lasting firmness and natural rejuvenation long after the threads have been absorbed.
There are different types of PDO threads, each designed to address different concerns:
These threads have tiny barbs or cones that anchor into the skin to provide an instant lift. They’re ideal for areas with more noticeable sagging, such as the cheeks, jawline, or neck.
These threads are used for collagen stimulation rather than lifting. They help refine skin texture, soften fine lines, and improve overall elasticity.
We will determine the best combination of thread types based on your unique goals and treatment areas.
PDO threads can tighten the skin on numerous parts of the face and body including the:
Your comfort is our top priority. Before treatment begins, a topical numbing agent or local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Once the area is numb, we will carefully insert the threads beneath the skin.
The process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. You may notice an immediate lift right after your appointment, with results improving over the following weeks as new collagen develops.
PDO threadlifting requires minimal downtime compared to surgical alternatives. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days following the procedure. Most patients return to their normal routines within two to three days.
To ensure optimal results, avoid vigorous exercise, facial massages, and dental procedures for approximately two weeks after treatment. We will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing.
Maintaining your PDO thread lift results involves a combination of good skincare, healthy habits, and professional maintenance. Protecting your skin from UV exposure with a broad-spectrum sunscreen helps prevent collagen breakdown and prolongs your lifted, youthful appearance. Keeping your skin hydrated, both by drinking plenty of water and using quality moisturizers, also helps preserve elasticity and smoothness.
Regular collagen-stimulating treatments, such as microneedling, laser resurfacing, or periodic maintenance with PDO threads, can further enhance and extend your results. These therapies promote ongoing collagen renewal.
We will create a personalized maintenance plan based on your skin type, lifestyle, and long-term aesthetic goals. This may include a customized home skincare regimen or complementary treatments that ensure your results stay luminous, lifted, and long-lasting.
PDO threadlifting grants a faster recovery than surgical approaches that involving tightening the skin. PDO threadlifting is also much more affordable than a traditional facelift. It enhances definition, restores firmness, and improves facial contours in a single visit. Results appear quickly and blend seamlessly with other aesthetic treatments for balanced, youthful results.
PDO threadlifting may be a suitable treatment for you if you are becoming discomforted with how skin laxity is affecting your image. Additionally, if you are looking for a minimally invasive means of tightening the skin, PDO threadlifting is an ideal alternative.
Ideal candidates are generally healthy adults who maintain a stable weight and have realistic expectations about what a non-surgical treatment can achieve. PDO threadlifting is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to refine facial contours, enhance jawline definition, or restore firmness to areas that have lost elasticity over time.
During your consultation, we will assess your skin type, goals, and medical history to determine if PDO thread lifting is the right fit for you.
The number of threads required depends on your treatment area, the degree of skin laxity, and the desired level of lift. Some patients may need just a few threads for subtle tightening, while others may benefit from a more comprehensive placement for full facial rejuvenation. We will customize your plan during your consultation.
Yes. PDO threadlifting pairs beautifully with other aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, or laser resurfacing. Combining treatments can enhance lift, improve texture, and deliver more comprehensive, long-lasting results tailored to your overall aesthetic goals.
Absolutely. PDO (polydioxanone) is a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical sutures for decades. The threads gradually dissolve over several months, leaving behind stronger, collagen-rich tissue and no permanent foreign material.
