PDO Threads

Non-Surgical Face Lift using PDO Threads

As we get older, our skin loses some of its natural elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and drooping. Thankfully, there are plenty of minimally invasive procedures that can lift and tighten the skin, allowing you to look and feel youthful once more. One of the most popular and effective options is PDO threads.


In essence, this procedure does not involve any cutting or incisions to lift the loose skin, instead, it employs absorbable PDO sutures that are weaved beneath the skin to mesh or lift and smooth it leaving natural results. The PDO sutures will be naturally absorbed by your body and replaced by collagen and new elastin production, refreshing your skin’s clarity and tightness.. The results are firmer, tighter, smoother, younger-looking face and skin! 


These threads help to support areas of your face, neck, or body that have started to sag. 

What is PDO Threads

Polydioxanone (PDO) threads aren’t really “threads”, they’re hair-thin strands of synthetic absorbable materials that has been used in surgery since the 1980's! These dissolvable sutures have tiny barbs that, when inserted under the skin, gently lift and tighten the skin while stimulating new collagen growth. The result is an instant rejuvenation that also improves over time.  


PDO Threads are naturally broken down within the body over 6-8 months, although the beautiful results will last around 18 months. As the PDO dissolves naturally over time a strong collagen bond results.  


The principle behind PDO thread lifting is not simply about pulling the skin into a different position, but rather to stimulate the body’s natural reaction to a ‘foreign body’ – which is to produce collagen and improve blood circulation, contracting the tissue.

Why are threads an excellent option

PDO threads used in our thread lift is so safe that they are used in delicate procedures such as open-heart surgery. In addition, they do not post the risks of anesthesia complications.

What to Do before a treatment

To prepare for skin for effective treatment, we recommend the following steps:


  •  Avoid any kind of blood thinners, including baby aspirin, Aleve, and Motrin, for about three days prior to treatment. This helps minimize any bruising you experience.
  •  Steer clear of alcohol and smoking for a couple of days before treatment.
  •  Make sure you use sunscreen any time you’re outside, especially in the days leading up to your treatment; we may not be able to perform treatment on skin that is sunburned.
  •  If you have any kind of bacterial or fungal infection, make sure you let us know before treatment begins.

What to Do After a Treatment

 One reason why patients love PDO threads is that the recovery period is pretty mild. Here are some recommendations to ensure your recovery is as smooth as possible:


  •  We advise that you avoid strenuous exercise for about two days after your procedure, and don’t get a massage near the treatment area for about two weeks.
  •  With these exceptions, feel free to get back to your normal life, including walking, driving, chewing, going to work, etc., right away.
  •  Over the first 24 hours, use cold compresses to minimize any swelling that you experience.
  •  Return to your normal skincare routine after the first 24 hours.
  •  For three to five days after your treatment, we recommend sleeping on your back. This helps minimize your risk of the threads being moved out of place.
  •  Use Tylenol to manage any minor discomfort you experience. For most patients, post-treatment soreness is fairly minimal.
  •  Avoid taking a shower or washing your hair for the first 24 hours after treatment.
  •  Avoid visiting any saunas or hot tubs for about a week.
