Pull Back threads are barbed PDO threads designed to lift and reposition sagging skin, offering a noticeable lifting effect in areas like the jawline, cheeks, brows, or neck. Unlike mono threads, which focus on collagen stimulation, pull back threads physically anchor and pull tissue upward for a more sculpted, lifted appearance.
Barbed PDO (polydioxanone) threads are inserted beneath the skin along a mapped vector. The tiny barbs grip the surrounding tissue, allowing your provider to gently pull the thread to reposition and lift sagging skin. As the threads dissolve naturally over several months, they also stimulate collagen production, helping maintain firmness even after the threads fully absorb.
Here is what to expect from start to finish, so there are no surprises on the day.
01
Your provider reviews your treatment goals and maps out the lifting vectors for thread placement.
02
A topical or local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to keep you comfortable.
03
Barbed threads are inserted beneath the skin along the marked vectors using a thin needle or cannula.
04
Your provider gently pulls each thread to reposition the skin and achieve the desired lift, anchoring it in place beneath the surface.
06
The treated area is checked for symmetry and lift before any excess thread is trimmed.
07
You'll receive instructions on activity restrictions, facial movements to avoid, and what to expect as results settle over the coming weeks, before you leave.
