Lift sagging skin with dissolvable threads

PDO thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are inserted into the skin to provide immediate lifting effects while stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation. The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only local anesthesia, and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. PDO thread lift is an effective solution for those looking to improve skin laxity, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial contours without the downtime of traditional surgery.

PDO thread lift treats:

  • Sagging skin on the face and neck
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Drooping eyebrows
  • Loss of jawline definition
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Marionette lines
  • Mild jowls
  • Cheek sagging
  • Loose skin on the décolletage
  • Crepey skin under the eyes

Your PDO thread lift experience

Consultation

Your PDO thread lift experience begins with a thorough consultation with your aesthetic provider. During this session, you’ll discuss your cosmetic goals, areas of concern, and overall skin health. Your practitioner will evaluate your facial structure and skin laxity and determine the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Procedure

Your aesthetic provider will cleanse the treatment area and apply a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. The PDO threads are then carefully inserted into the skin using a fine needle. The threads are positioned to lift and support sagging tissues, providing an immediate lifting effect. The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.

Recovery

After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately, although it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and facial massages for about a week.

Results

You will notice an immediate improvement in the lifted areas, with full results becoming more apparent as the threads stimulate collagen production over the following weeks. The effects of your PDO thread lift can last 12 to 18 months, after which you may choose to undergo additional treatments to maintain your rejuvenated appearance.
