PDO THREADS

What is a PDO Thread Lift?

A PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical treatment that uses dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. The threads are placed beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula, creating a subtle but visible “lift” and stimulating collagen production over time.

How do PDO threads work?

Once placed under the skin, PDO threads provide an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve, leaving behind a stronger, more youthful support structure in the skin.

 

Which areas can be treated with PDO threads?

PDO threads can be used in many areas, including:

  • Jawline and lower face (for contouring and definition)
  • Cheeks (for lift and volume)
  • Neck (for tightening loose skin)
  • Brows and forehead (for a subtle lift)
  • Body areas with sagging skin (arms, abdomen, thighs)

 

Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PDO threads can be combined with treatments such as dermal fillers, skin boosters, and microneedling to achieve enhanced results and full-face rejuvenation.

 

How long do results last?

Most patients enjoy results lasting between 12–18 months. Longevity depends on lifestyle, age, skin quality, and the type of threads used.

 

Is the treatment safe?

Yes — PDO threads are absorbable and biocompatible. Minor side effects such as swelling, bruising, or tenderness are common but usually resolve within days.

 

Is there downtime?

You can usually return to daily activities within 1–2 days, although more strenuous exercise should be avoided for about a week.
