What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO Thread Lift is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment designed to lift and contour sagging facial tissues. It involves the use of polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are absorbable sutures that are strategically inserted beneath the skin to create a natural lift while stimulating collagen production. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind firmer, more youthful skin as collagen continues to build.
How Does a PDO Thread Lift Work?
During the procedure, PDO threads are placed in specific areas of the face or neck using a fine needle. These threads act as scaffolding to support the skin and provide an immediate lifting effect. Additionally, they stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin for long-term improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
What is the PDO Thread Lift Procedure Like?
The PDO Thread Lift is performed in-office and typically takes less than an hour. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort during the procedure. Using a fine needle, Julie inserts the threads beneath the skin, precisely lifting and repositioning tissues for optimal results. Most patients report minimal discomfort, and there is no need for general anesthesia or significant downtime.
What Results Can I Expect from a PDO Thread Lift?
One of the greatest benefits of a PDO Thread Llift is the immediate improvement in facial contour and skin tightness. Right after the procedure, patients can see a visible lift in the treated areas, as the threads act as a support structure for sagging skin. While there may also be mild and temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, or slight tightness in the skin, side effects typically subside within 3-7 days and involve very little discomfort.
Over the following months, the PDO threads stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, causing the skin to become firmer, smoother, and more elastic. These improvements typically start to become more pronounced around 4-6 weeks after the procedure, with full results visible by 3-6 months. Patients often notice enhanced skin texture, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and improved definition in the jawline, cheeks, or neck, depending on the treated areas.
How Long Do Results from a PDO Thread Lift Last?
PDO Thread Lift results are long-lasting, with most patients seeing benefits for 12-18 months. Although the threads dissolve naturally over time, the collagen stimulation process continues to provide structural support and maintain the rejuvenated appearance. Many patients choose to schedule follow-up treatments to extend their refreshed look, ensuring they enjoy the benefits of lifted and youthful skin for years to come.
