Minimally invasive lifting procedure using absorbable PDO threads.
About this treatment
A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using absorbable medical-grade threads inserted beneath the skin. The threads create an immediate mechanical lift, and as they dissolve over 6–9 months, they stimulate new collagen production along their path — providing ongoing improvement even after the threads are gone. Different thread types serve different purposes: smooth threads stimulate collagen in areas like the neck and under-eyes, barbed/cog threads provide structural lifting of the mid-face, jowls, and brows, and twisted threads add volume to sunken areas. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia.

Who is this for?
People with mild to moderate skin laxity who want lifting without surgery. Those not ready for a full facelift but wanting more than injectables can offer. People seeking a treatment that provides both immediate lift and long-term collagen stimulation. Anyone wanting a minimally invasive procedure with less downtime than surgery. Those aged 30–60 with early jowling, sagging cheeks, or drooping brows.
Preparation required
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 1 week before treatment. Do not drink alcohol for 48 hours before. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Inform the provider of any skin infections, autoimmune conditions, or previous adverse reactions to local anesthesia. Plan for mild swelling for 3–7 days after.
