PDO Thread Lift
A PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin without surgery. This treatment uses dissolvable threads strategically placed under the skin to stimulate collagen production and provide an immediate lifting effect. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
PDO Thread Lifts are an excellent alternative to traditional facelifts, offering natural-looking results with minimal downtime. They can address sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows.

Benefits:
- Provides an instant lifting effect
- Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation
- Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
- Improves skin texture and elasticity
What to Expect?
The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes and involves local anesthesia for comfort. PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days, but most patients can resume daily activities within 24-48 hours.
With immediate lifting effects and continued collagen stimulation, PDO Thread Lifts provide gradual, natural improvements, with results lasting up to 18 months.
Before, During & After
What to Expect
The first step is your free consultation.
Before Treatment
To prepare for your PDO Thread Lift, it’s essential to avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 5-7 days to minimize the risk of bruising. Staying hydrated and having a healthy meal before your appointment can help prevent dizziness during the procedure. Inform your provider of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking to ensure a safe treatment. Additionally, it’s recommended to avoid dental treatments two weeks before and after the procedure, as excessive mouth movement can impact the threads.
During Treatment
The treatment begins with cleansing the targeted area and applying a local anesthetic to ensure comfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas. The procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Most patients experience a mild pressure or tugging sensation during the process, but discomfort is minimal.
After Treatment
Following the procedure, mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common but should subside within a few days. It’s important to avoid touching or massaging the treated area, as well as excessive facial movements for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent displacement of the threads. Sleeping on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights can also help with healing. Strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive facial expressions should be avoided for at least one to two weeks. While initial results are visible immediately, the full effects will continue to improve over the next few months as collagen production increases, providing long-lasting, natural rejuvenation.
