PDO thread lift offers a non-surgical way to rejuvenate your face and neck by gently repositioning the skin and stimulating natural collagen, restoring youthful contours.

A PDO thread lift is a “gold standard” non-surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation. The threads are inserted to gently reposition the skin on the face and neck, triggering natural collagen regeneration over time. PDO (short for polydioxanone) is an absorbable synthetic surgical material that restores sagging tissues to a youthful position and stimulates skin regeneration.

A PDO thread lift involves placing ultra-slim threads to lift and recontour facial areas.
Every client is unique, and the number and type of PDO threads will vary from person to person. Anywhere from one to five threads may be placed to lift and recontour each facial area.




Several types of PDO threads may be used in a custom PDO thread lift, each of which has a specialized purpose. Each type of PDO thread comes in various forms, thicknesses, and lengths, and will be selected to treat the individual facial area and condition.
Three types of thread lifts:
The procedure starts with a full evaluation of your skin condition and a conversation about what you hope to achieve. The actual procedure is not painful, as the area where the threads are inserted is numbed with local anesthesia. Once numbed, the threads are inserted just below the skin surface, the tissues repositioned, and anchored to create a very natural-looking lift.
The PDO threads are attached to a long cannula, which is carefully pushed through the tissues beneath the facial skin. Once the thread has reached its designated position, the cannula is removed. The thread remained suspended under the tissues, acting as an upward anchor. This lifting process will be repeated with as many threads as are needed for your customized procedure. In most cases, the entire procedure takes less than an hour to complete.
A PDO thread lift offers both immediate lifting and long-term skin rejuvenation, making it a versatile option for those noticing early signs of aging but not ready for cosmetic surgery or a full facelift. Key benefits include:
Achieve noticeable lifting and tightening without incisions or an extended recovery.
Improves skin elasticity and firmness over the following few weeks as new collagen develops.
Subtly redefines facial contours and improves sagging skin without an overdone look.
A quick, lunchtime facelift option performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
Tailored treatment plans target the face, cheeks, jawline, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and neck.
Outcomes often persist for one to three years as threads dissolve while boosting collagen. Compared to plastic surgery, a PDO thread lift offers a practical, minimally invasive procedure to restore facial contours and support long-term skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

A PDO thread lift is an ideal treatment for men or women wanting to address the signs of age in their face or jawline without surgery. Ideal candidates should meet the following criteria:

The recovery time is brief, with any bruising or swelling typically occurring in the first three days. This side effect fades rapidly, and most clients need less than a week to return to work or social engagements. You may experience some sensitivity where the threads were inserted, which fades in about three to five days.
You should avoid any strenuous exercise or other physical activities for a week, avoid direct exposure to the sun, and avoid drinking alcoholic beverages. You have aftercare instructions that will help speed healing.
The lifting, skin-regenerating effect of a PDO thread lift will last from twelve to eighteen months, and often longer.
As the body naturally absorbs the threads, collagen production is increased, and the skin has a more supple, resilient quality.
If you would love to restore youthful jawline definition, lift and smooth sagging neck skin, or treat wrinkles and lines, a PDO thread lift can be a fantastic solution. However, the beauty of any treatment reflects the skills of the provider.
