Lift Facial Skin & Boost Collagen Production

PDO thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. The threads are strategically inserted beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting rejuvenation. This treatment is especially effective for areas like the jawline, cheeks, neck, and forehead. The PDO threads gradually dissolve over time, but the increased collagen production continues to enhance skin elasticity, smoothness, and firmness for several months.

PDO Thread Lift is Best For:

  • Sagging cheeks and jowls
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Loose neck skin
  • Drooping eyebrows
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)

How Does PDO Thread Lift Work?

PDO thread lift works by inserting fine, biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO) threads under the skin using a needle. These threads act as scaffolding, providing an immediate lift to sagging tissue. Once in place, the threads stimulate the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. Over time, the PDO threads dissolve harmlessly, leaving behind a strengthened collagen structure that supports the skin for months. This increased collagen production improves skin elasticity, smooths wrinkles, and enhances firmness, providing long-lasting rejuvenation without surgery or downtime.

Benefits of PDO Thread Lift:

  • Non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure
  • Immediate lifting effect with natural-looking results
  • Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin tightening
  • Quick recovery time with minimal downtime
  • Customizable for various facial and neck areas
  • Safe and absorbable threads that naturally dissolve
  • Suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages

How is the PDO Thread Lift Administered?

During a PDO thread lift, a local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort. Your provider carefully inserts thin PDO threads under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads are placed following a predetermined pattern to lift sagging tissue and provide support. Once inserted, the threads are gently adjusted to create the desired lift. The procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, the threads stimulate collagen production, enhancing the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

What is the Recovery Process?

After a PDO thread lift, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site, which subsides within a few days. Most people return to their normal activities within 1-2 days, but strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and direct sun exposure should be avoided for a few days to reduce side effects. Follow any aftercare instructions provided by your aesthetic practitioner to ensure optimal results.

What Results Can I Expect?

After your PDO thread lift, you’ll begin to see the initial lifting effects immediately, with optimal results becoming more apparent as collagen production progresses over the following months. The effects typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin’s condition and individual response.

To maintain your results, you might consider touch-ups every 12 months or so. Your aesthetic provider can help you determine the best treatment schedule based on your goals.
