Lift and Tighten Sagging Facial Contours
PDO thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads are inserted beneath the skin to provide structural support and stimulate collagen production over time. The procedure targets areas like the cheeks, jowls, jawline, and neck, helping to enhance facial contours and restore a youthful appearance. Because the threads naturally dissolve over several months, the results gradually improve as your skin rebuilds its firmness.
PDO Thread Lift Helps Treat:
- Sagging cheeks and jowls
- Loose skin along the jawline
- Mild to moderate neck laxity
- Drooping eyebrows or eyelids
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Loss of facial volume and definition
- Early signs of aging without surgery
How Does a PDO Thread Lift Work?
A PDO thread lift works by inserting biodegradable polydioxanone threads beneath the skin using fine needles. These threads create a lifting effect by physically supporting sagging tissue. As the threads gradually dissolve over 4 to 6 months, they stimulate a natural healing response, triggering fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin.
This strengthens the skin’s structural integrity, resulting in firmer and tighter contours. The dual mechanism of instant lift and long-term regeneration makes PDO thread lifts effective and enduring.
Benefits of PDO Thread Lift:
- Immediate lifting and skin tightening
- Stimulate natural collagen production over time
- Require minimal downtime and recovery
- Avoid the risks and scars of surgery
- Subtle, natural-looking results
- Improve skin texture and elasticity
- Customizable to target specific facial areas
How is a PDO Thread Lift Administered?
During your PDO thread lift, your provider will first cleanse and numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Then, using a fine, hollow needle or cannula, the PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath your skin at strategic angles to lift and support sagging tissue. Once in place, the threads are gently pulled to achieve the desired contour before being trimmed and secured. The entire procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
What Is the Downtime After a PDO Thread Lift?
PDO thread lifts involve minimal downtime. You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort in the treated areas, but most patients return to work and routine activities within a day or two. However, it’s advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive facial movements, or heavy makeup application for about a week to allow optimal healing.
How Long Do PDO Thread Lift Results Last?
You can expect the visible lifting effects of a PDO thread lift to last 12 to 18 months. While the threads themselves dissolve within 4 to 6 months, their presence boosts collagen production, which helps maintain improved skin structure and firmness. To extend the results, your provider may recommend complementary treatments or periodic touch-ups.
When Will I See Results After a PDO Thread Lift?
You’ll notice an immediate lifting effect right after the threads are placed. However, the full results will continue to develop over the next weeks as your skin begins producing new collagen around the threads. Maximum improvement is typically seen 2 to 3 months post-procedure, with your skin looking progressively firmer, tighter, and more youthful over time.
