Thread Lift
Duration
1 hour
A minimally invasive facial lifting procedure using polydioxanone (PDO) threads to mechanically lift and tighten lax skin while stimulating collagen production. Formula Wellness offers both smooth PDO threads for collagen stimulation across the face, neck, scars, lips, and body, and helical barbed sutures for immediate lifting — typically four to five threads per side for the mid-face and jowl area. Results can last up to one year or longer. Minimal downtime with same-day return to normal activities for most patients.
About this treatment
PDO thread lifts at Formula Wellness Dallas offer a middle path between injectable treatments and surgical facelifts — delivering visible lifting and skin tightening without general anesthesia, incisions, or extended recovery time. The procedure uses polydioxanone (PDO) sutures, the same absorbable material long used in cardiovascular surgery, which the body safely metabolizes over three to six months.
Formula Wellness works with two categories of PDO threads. Smooth mono threads are used primarily for biostimulation — placed in a grid pattern across the cheeks, forehead, neck, lips, or décolletage to provoke a localized wound-healing response that generates new collagen fibers in the subcutaneous tissue. This approach is well-suited to early aging skin or as a maintenance treatment between more aggressive interventions. Smooth threads are also…
Helical barbed sutures provide the mechanical lifting component. The bidirectional barbs physically grip the underlying tissue and suspend it in an elevated position, creating immediate improvement in jowl definition, nasolabial fold depth, and mid-face volume distribution. A typical mid-face lift treatment uses four to five barbed threads per side, placed under local anesthesia through small entry points that leave no visible scarring. The lift is…
