PDO Thread Lift is an aesthetic procedure designed to lift and tighten loose skin with minimal invasiveness. This service achieves an immediate lifting effect by introducing polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the skin. Over time, these threads stimulate collagen production, enhancing the skin’s firmness and elasticity. PDO Thread Lifts can treat various areas, including the face, neck, jawline, and even the body, addressing concerns like drooping cheeks, jowls, and sagging skin.
PDO Thread Lift is ideal for individuals looking to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing surgery. This treatment is suitable for those experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. It is possible to see results immediately after the procedure, with the skin continuing to improve over the following few months as collagen production increases. It usually takes 12-18 months for a PDO Thread Lift to take full effect, depending on lifestyle and individual factors.

A PDO Thread Lift requires minimal downtime. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness may occur at the treatment site, which usually resolves within a few days.
Before the treatment, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications to reduce the risk of bruising. After the treatment, follow your practitioner’s instructions, avoid strenuous activities for a few days, and keep the treated area clean.
During a PDO Thread Lift, your practitioner will insert PDO threads into the targeted areas using a fine needle. In general, 45 minutes to an hour is required for the procedure, depending on the size of the treated area. You may experience some mild discomfort, but a local anesthetic is used to minimize pain.
