PDO Threads
About This Service
PDO Threads offer a non-surgical solution for lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating sagging skin. This treatment is ideal for clients who want visible lifting results without the downtime and expense of a surgical facelift. PDO (polydioxanone) threads are fine, medical-grade sutures that have been safely used in surgery for decades. During the procedure, these threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using a thin needle or cannula. Once in place, they provide immediate structural support that lifts and repositions sagging tissue.
Beyond the instant lifting effect, PDO threads deliver long-term benefits by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production around each thread. As the threads gradually dissolve over four to six months, the new collagen that forms in their place continues to support and firm the skin. This means your results actually improve over time and can last between 12 and 24 months.
Common treatment areas include the jawline, jowls, cheeks, brow, neck, and nasolabial folds. The procedure typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of threads and areas being treated. A topical or local anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable throughout.
After the treatment, you may experience some swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising, which usually resolves within a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and extreme facial movements for a few days to allow the threads to settle properly.
PDO threads are an excellent choice if you are looking for a noticeable lift with natural-looking results and minimal recovery time. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin laxity and facial structure to recommend the best thread placement for your goals.
