What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

A PDO or polydioxanone thread lift is a procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to rejuvenate and lift sagging skin. It is a more cost-effective and quicker alternative to facelift surgery with a shorter recovery window. PDO threads enhance facial features and can tighten and tone your skin while also reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

How Does a PDO Thread Lift Work?

A thread lift is a minimally invasive alternative to a facelift. While its effects are not as immediate and permanent as a facelift, individuals have seen an overall improvement in their facial appearance.

The thread lift process starts with an initial consultation to discuss your goals. After the consultation, one of our nurses will mark where you would like the threads to be placed. Once marked, these areas will be anesthetized and then the threads will be inserted. This process is repeated until the desired lift has been achieved, which could happen after 1 thread or 15 depending on the patient.

The goal of this treatment is to restore and rejuvenate the appearance of the face.

What Is the Recovery Process Like After a Thread Lift?

The recovery period is minimal. The average recovery period is about 1 week; however, some individuals recover quicker and can resume normal activity after one day with only minor discomfort. It is common for an individual to experienced minor inflammation and bruising, which will be resolved within one week.

How Long Do PDO Threads Last?

A PDO thread lift creates firmer and tighter skin and an overall more youthful appearance. Your results can last for up to 1 year or longer based off your anti-aging regimen.

When Do You See Results?

Once the procedure has been completed, you will start to see the lifting effects. Around one month, you will notice the rejuvenating effects as new collagen has now been stimulated, forming around the thread. You will see an overall improvement in your skin’s texture. It is important to note that additional sessions may be needed to achieve your goal.
