PDO Thread Lift

What is PDO Thread Lift?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade dissolvable sutures inserted under the skin to lift and tighten facial tissues. They stimulate collagen production as they dissolve over 6-8 months, creating lasting improvements even after the threads are gone. Results typically last 12-18 months.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Combine PDO threads with other treatments like Botox or fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Many clinics offer combination packages at discounted rates.

⚠️ Insider Note: Results depend heavily on practitioner skill. Choose a clinic with extensive thread lift experience and review before-and-after photos carefully—this is a technique-dependent procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do results last?

12-18 months typically. The threads dissolve by 6-8 months, but collagen stimulation continues. Results gradually fade, and touch-up threads can be added.

Is the procedure painful?

Minimal discomfort with local anesthesia. You'll feel pressure and pulling during insertion, but it's well-tolerated. Post-procedure tightness is normal for 1-2 weeks.

How many threads do I need?

Depends on treatment area. Full face: 10-20 threads. Specific areas like jawline or jowls: 4-10 threads. Your practitioner will recommend based on your needs.

Can threads replace a facelift?

For mild to moderate sagging, threads provide a non-surgical alternative. Significant laxity or excess skin typically requires surgical facelift for optimal results.

What are the risks?

Common: bruising, swelling, temporary asymmetry. Less common: dimpling, thread visibility. Rare: infection. Experienced practitioners minimize these risks significantly.

When can I return to work?

Most people return in 2-3 days. You may have some residual swelling and minor bruising that can be covered with makeup.

Can I have threads if I've had fillers?

Yes, but inform your practitioner. Treatment order may need planning—typically wait 2-4 weeks between procedures for optimal results.

Are PDO threads safe?

Yes, PDO is a biocompatible material used in surgery for decades. The threads dissolve naturally over 6-8 months without leaving any residue.
