What are PDO Threads?

The non-surgical
lift that rebuilds support from within.

PDO Threads are medical-grade, dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to lift and support areas affected by laxity and sagging. Once inserted, they provide an immediate mechanical lift while also stimulating collagen production as they naturally dissolve over time.

They are commonly used to improve facial contour in areas such as the jawline, cheeks, brows, neck, and fine lines around the mouth. The result is a more lifted, structured, and refreshed appearance without changing your natural expression.

PDO Threads are FDA-cleared, minimally invasive, and considered a step beyond injectables for patients looking for more structural support and visible lifting without surgery.

FAQ

The real answers

Do PDO Threads hurt?

You may feel mild pressure during placement. A numbing agent is used to keep the procedure comfortable.

How long do results last?

Results typically last 12–18 months as collagen continues to build after the threads dissolve.

When will I see results?

There is an immediate lifting effect, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen develops.

Is there downtime?

There is mild downtime. Swelling, tightness, or bruising may occur for a few days to a week.

Will it look natural?

Yes. The goal is subtle lifting and support, not changing your facial structure.

Who is a good candidate for PDO Threads?

Ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity and want lifting without surgery.

Can PDO Threads be combined with other treatments?

Yes. They are often combined with fillers or Botox for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
