PDO Thread Lift

Monaco MedSpa Miami's PDO thread lift program offers a surgical-alternative approach to facial and body lifting, performed entirely by Dr. Barrueta under local anesthesia in a comfortable clinic setting. The polydioxanone threads used are the same absorbable suture material used in cardiac surgery — their safety profile is well established, and they dissolve naturally over 6–12 months while stimulating new collagen deposition along the insertion tract.

Dr. Barrueta deploys two distinct thread types depending on the treatment goal. Armed (barbed or harpoon) threads provide immediate mechanical lifting: the barbs anchor into subdermal tissue and physically reposition sagging skin upward and laterally. These are used for jowl correction, midface lift, neck tightening, and brow elevation. Smooth mono threads, by contrast, create a collagen-induction scaffold without significant mechanical lift — ideal for…

The fox eye lift — achieved by placing brow threads to elevate and elongate the outer canthal area — has become a signature request at the clinic, delivering the lifted almond-eye effect without the permanence or recovery of surgical blepharoplasty.
