PDO Threadlifts

Subtle Support for Aging Skin
PDO threadlifts are minimally invasive procedures that use absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) sutures placed beneath the skin. Strategically positioned threads can provide temporary support and reposition selected facial tissues, creating a subtle lifting and contouring effect without surgical incisions.

Strategic Support Beneath the Skin
PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using a needle or cannula and positioned according to the areas being treated and the desired outcome.
Certain threads contain small barbs or cones that engage underlying tissue, allowing your provider to reposition and support the treatment area. The threads gradually dissolve over time, while the procedure itself can also stimulate a localized healing response around the treated tissue.
- Step 1: Your provider evaluates your facial anatomy, skin, and treatment goals.
- Step 2: Treatment areas are mapped and prepared.
- Step 3: PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin.
- Step 4: Selected tissues are repositioned to create the desired lifting effect.
- Step 5: The absorbable threads gradually break down over time.

Am I a Good Candidate for PDO Threadlifts?
PDO threadlifts may be appropriate for patients with mild to moderate tissue laxity who want subtle lifting and definition without undergoing traditional facelift surgery. Candidacy depends on facial anatomy, skin quality, medical history, and desired results.
- Mild facial skin laxity
- Early jowling
- Reduced jawline definition
- Sagging cheek tissue
- Patients seeking a nonsurgical lifting option
Benefits and Outcomes
PDO threadlifts offer a minimally invasive approach to repositioning selected facial tissues and improving visible definition with less recovery than traditional surgery.
Strategically positioned threads provide temporary structural support that can subtly lift and reposition selected facial tissues.
Treatment can improve visible definition in areas such as the cheeks and jawline without surgical incisions.
PDO threads are absorbable and gradually break down within the body rather than remaining permanently beneath the skin.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, irritation, or minor irregularities may occur after a PDO threadlift. Gentle care is important while the threads and surrounding tissue settle and heal.
Follow your provider's instructions for managing swelling, bruising, discomfort, and caring for thread entry points.
Handle treated areas gently and use cold compresses or other comfort measures only as directed by your provider.
Contact your provider if you notice worsening pain, signs of infection, unusual skin changes, or other concerning symptoms.
Avoid rubbing or aggressively massaging a sore injection site immediately after treatment.
Avoid strenuous exercise immediately after treatment for the timeframe your provider recommends.
Avoid excessive facial movement, pressure, or activities that place unnecessary force on treated areas during early healing.
Any Questions?
Results are temporary and vary according to the treatment area, technique, individual anatomy, and other factors. Your provider can discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
No. A threadlift provides more modest lifting than surgical facelift procedures and does not remove excess skin.
Bruising, swelling, soreness, and temporary irregularities or dimpling can occur. Your provider will explain activity restrictions and aftercare based on your treatment.
Yes. Possible complications can include bruising, swelling, infection, asymmetry, thread visibility or extrusion, and other issues. A consultation is important for determining whether treatment is appropriate.
