PDO Threadlift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses dissolvable threads to gently lift sagging skin and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. It is especially well-suited for adults in their 30s to 50s who want noticeable improvement in facial contours without the downtime or scars of traditional facelift surgery.
Fine threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), a safe material that dissolves over time, are inserted under the skin using a thin cannula. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip and lift the tissue into a more youthful position. Once in place, the threads provide an immediate lifting effect. As they gradually dissolve, they trigger your body to produce new collagen, which helps maintain and enhance firmness and contour over many months.
Here is what to expect from start to finish, so there are no surprises on the day.
01
You will feel pressure or tugging but minimal pain thanks to numbing.
02
Some swelling, bruising, or a tight feeling is common. You may notice an immediate lift.
03
Mild discomfort, swelling, and possible dimpling or puckering as the threads settle. Most people return to light activities within a day or two.
04
The threads dissolve over several months while new collagen forms, leading to continued improvement in firmness and contour.
