PDO Threads
Book NowA PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin, stimulating collagen and elastin for natural-looking rejuvenation. Each session typically takes 15–30 minutes, often under local anesthesia, and most patients undergo 1–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal lift and collagen stimulation. Visible improvements appear immediately, with progressive refinement over 3–6 months and results lasting 12–18 months on average
Avoid same-day fillers/lasers.
Avoid alcohol, NSAIDs, fish oil, vit E 3–5 days.
No dental work 2 weeks before/after.
Clean skin; arrange ride if anxious.
Resume normal activities immediately; most return to work the same day.
Local anesthesia minimizes discomfort; many describe only mild pulling or tingling during insertion.
Thread type (mono, cog, screw), number, and vector are tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Collagen scaffold endures 12–18 months, with some patients maintaining improvement up to 24 months.
The procedure begins with a detailed consultation to assess facial anatomy and determine the right threads for your goals—lifting threads for structure or smooth threads for collagen. After applying local anesthesia, tiny entry points are marked, and threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using fine cannulas. Once positioned, the threads are gently pulled to lift and reposition sagging areas, with excess thread trimmed. Over the following weeks, your skin naturally produces collagen and elastin around the threads, enhancing firmness and texture.
Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massages for 1–2 weeks; sleep on your back for 1 week.
Apply cool compresses intermittently to reduce swelling; cleanse gently and follow your provider’s topical regimen.
Mild bruising, swelling, and temporary dimpling or puckering at entry points are common and resolve within 3–7 days.
Skin settles and collagen matures over 3–6 months, revealing lifted, firmer contours.
