PDO Thread Lift
PDO threads are a non-surgical skin-lifting and tightening treatment that uses dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to provide immediate support and stimulate collagen production. This advanced technique helps improve skin laxity, redefine facial contours, and restore a firmer, more youthful appearance over time. Results continue to improve as collagen builds, offering natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Benefits of pdo threads
Lift & Tighten: Instantly supports sagging skin for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Stimulates Collagen: Encourages natural collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation.
Enhances Contours: Improves facial definition and restores balance to the lower face, jawline, and neck.
Minimally Invasive: Non-surgical alternative to a facelift with less risk and downtime.
Natural-Looking Results: Subtle, refined improvements that maintain your natural features.
Long-Lasting Effects: Results can continue to improve over several months as collagen builds.
Quick Recovery: Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to normal activities quickly.
what areas can be treated
PDO threads can be used to treat multiple areas of the face and neck where sagging, laxity, or loss of definition occurs. Common treatment areas include the jawline and jowls, cheeks and midface, under the eyes, brows and forehead, and the neck. Threads can also be used to subtly lift the corners of the mouth, improve nasolabial folds, or enhance overall facial contours, providing a refreshed and balanced appearance without surgery.
what to expect
PDO thread treatment is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with local numbing for comfort. During the treatment, dissolvable threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin to lift and support targeted areas. Most patients experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.
Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen production is stimulated. Final results usually appear within 2–3 months and can last up to 12–18 months, depending on the threads used and individual metabolism. Recovery is minimal, allowing most patients to resume normal activities shortly after treatment while enjoying a natural, refreshed, and lifted appearance.
Recovery & Results
Recovery & Results
PDO thread treatments are minimally invasive, so downtime is typically short. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the insertion sites, usually resolving within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for about a week.
Results are visible right after the procedure, with continued improvement over the following 6–12 weeks as collagen production is stimulated. Final results provide a natural lift, firmer skin, and enhanced facial contours that can last 12–18 months, depending on the type of threads used and individual factors. The subtle, refreshed look improves over time, offering long-lasting, rejuvenated results without surgery.
Best Candidates For PDO Thread Lift
PDO threads are ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want to lift and tighten sagging areas without undergoing surgery. The best candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking subtle, natural-looking results to enhance facial contours. Common areas treated include the jawline, cheeks, brows, under the eyes, and neck.
Patients with early signs of aging who want to prevent further sagging, those looking to improve facial symmetry, or anyone desiring a refreshed appearance without the downtime of a surgical facelift are often excellent candidates for PDO threads. Individuals with severe skin laxity or certain medical conditions may require alternative treatments, so a consultation with a qualified provider is essential.

True to our mission of enhancing natural beauty, threads provide immediate lift and long-lasting improvement, enhancing facial and neck contours for a refreshed, youthful, and naturally balanced appearance with minimal downtime.
MID FACE
$3,800
Mid-face PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and restore volume to the cheeks and upper face. As we age, the mid-face can lose structure and fullness, leading to sagging, hollowing under the eyes, and a tired appearance.
Using dissolvable threads strategically placed beneath the skin, this treatment lifts sagging tissue, enhances cheek contours, and stimulates natural collagen production for long-term rejuvenation. Results are immediate and continue to improve over several weeks, offering a subtle, refreshed, and youthful appearance with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Neck
$2,100
Neck PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin in the neck and jawline area. Over time, the neck can develop loose skin, horizontal lines, and loss of definition, which can make the lower face appear aged.
Using dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin, this treatment provides immediate support while stimulating natural collagen production for firmer, smoother skin. Results are visible right away and continue to improve over several weeks, offering a refreshed, youthful, and contoured appearance with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
CHEEK
$2,100
Cheek PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and restore volume to the mid-face. As we age, the cheeks can lose fullness, leading to sagging, hollowing under the eyes, and a tired appearance.
Using dissolvable threads carefully placed beneath the skin, this treatment lifts sagging tissue, enhances cheek contours, and stimulates natural collagen production for long-lasting rejuvenation. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over several weeks, providing a refreshed, youthful, and naturally contoured look with minimal downtime.
JAWLINE
$2,100
Jawline PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and define the lower face. As we age, the jawline can lose definition due to sagging skin and diminished collagen, resulting in jowls or a softer facial contour.
This treatment uses dissolvable threads placed strategically along the jawline to provide immediate lift, enhance facial contours, and stimulate collagen for long-term tightening. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over several weeks, creating a sharper, more youthful jawline with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Fox eye
$2,100
Foxeye PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and elongate the outer corners of the eyes, creating a subtle “cat-eye” or lifted look. This treatment targets sagging skin around the brow and upper cheek to enhance eye shape and open the gaze without surgery.
Dissolvable threads are strategically placed to provide immediate lift while stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting results. Effects are visible right away and continue to improve over several weeks, delivering a refreshed, youthful, and naturally lifted appearance with minimal downtime.
Smooth Threads
$500/area
Smooth PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. Unlike lifting threads, smooth threads are placed just beneath the skin to stimulate natural collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and mild sagging.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen builds, leaving the skin smoother, tighter, and more rejuvenated. This treatment provides subtle, natural-looking improvements with minimal downtime, making it ideal for those seeking overall skin revitalization without surgery.
FAQs
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable surgical sutures used in aesthetic procedures to lift and rejuvenate sagging skin. They are commonly used in the face, neck, and other areas to stimulate collagen production.
PDO threads are inserted into the skin using fine needles. Once in place, they provide an immediate lifting effect and stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, which helps to improve skin texture and elasticity over time.
Common areas include the face (cheeks, jawline, brows, under-eye area), neck, and sometimes other body parts like the abdomen.
