PDO Lifting Threads: The Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative

What Are PDO Lifting Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade sutures made from a dissolvable material that has been safely used in surgery for decades. When placed just beneath the skin, these threads provide two key benefits:
    1.    Instant Lift – Threads reposition sagging tissue, creating a subtle but noticeable lift.
    2.    Collagen Stimulation – As the threads dissolve over 4–6 months, they trigger collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity.

This dual effect makes PDO threads one of the best non-surgical facelift alternatives for patients who want natural rejuvenation without invasive surgery.

Benefits of PDO Threads

Patients choose PDO lifting threads because they offer:
    •    Immediate results with continued improvement over time
    •    Non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment with no incisions
    •    Little to no downtime (many return to work the same day)
    •    Collagen stimulation for long-term skin tightening
    •    Customizable treatment for the cheeks, jawline, brows, neck, and more

⸻

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PDO thread lifts are best for men and women in their 30s–60s who notice:
    •    Mild to moderate skin laxity
    •    Jowls or sagging along the jawline
    •    Drooping brows or cheeks
    •    Early signs of aging but who aren’t ready for a surgical facelift

A consultation is essential to determine whether PDO threads are right for you or if other treatments (like dermal fillers, Botox®, or skin resurfacing) would be more effective.

What to Expect During Treatment

The procedure is quick—typically 30 to 60 minutes. After numbing the area, we carefully insert threads beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. You may feel slight pressure but minimal discomfort.

Results are visible immediately, with optimal tightening and contouring developing as collagen builds over the next few months.

How Long Do PDO Thread Lifts Last?

While PDO threads dissolve naturally in 4–6 months, the collagen they stimulate can last 12–18 months or longer. Many patients choose to maintain results with periodic treatments.

⸻

PDO Threads vs. Fillers vs. Facelift
    •    PDO Threads – Lift and stimulate collagen, best for early to moderate sagging
    •    Fillers – Restore lost volume and smooth deep lines
    •    Facelift Surgery – Best for advanced aging and dramatic results, but with higher cost and downtime

For many patients, PDO threads strike the ideal balance—providing natural rejuvenation without surgery.
