The threads stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness over time
Results can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on individual factors and aftercare
PDO threads are made from a biodegradable material that dissolves naturally in the body, reducing the risk of complications
PDO threads can be used on various areas of the face and body, including the neck, jawline, cheeks, and even the brow area
Imagine if you could tighten and lift your entire face, minimize wrinkles and eye bags, and even contour your face in less time than it takes to get a mani-pedi, not spend your entire savings doing so, and be able to return to work immediately after the procedure
Sounds too good to be true, but it’s not!
You can get similar results to a facelift at a fraction of the cost with no surgery or downtime, thanks to a non-invasive aesthetic treatment called PDO threading
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are synthetic absorbable suture materials used in cardiac and pediatric surgeries for over 50 years. A thread lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift your skin
PDO Mono Threads or ‘short threads’ are designed to perform a revitalization of skin treatment, the treatment is beneficial for skin tightening, skin thickening and improving skin texture thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Once inserted into the skin, PDO mono threads activate collagen synthesis to gradually tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This provides the skin with a tighter feel and appearance and more of a youthful look
You are in and out the door in less than an hour, not under anesthesia, aren’t left with incisions or visible scarring, can resume normal activities almost immediately, and most patients say the entire procedure is relatively pain-free!
PDO threads treatment areas can include:
- Neck
- Jowls
- Jaw line – some also consider jawline filler
- Nasolabial folds
- Crow’s feet
- Under eye area
- Eyebrows
- Cheeks
- Marionette lines
We usually suggest at least 2 sessions for mono threads about 3 months apart
A tight sensation is common. Skin dimpling can occur, especially if there is a lot of sagging to be corrected, but usually resolves by itself within days to weeks
During a thread lift, your provider will use a fine needle to insert surgical-grade threads into the area needing treatment. The threads stimulate healing and collagen production during the weeks following the procedure.
As a result, the skin’s appearance, elasticity, and texture improve. Most people see results within three to four weeks after receiving their thread lift
Straining yourself may interfere with your natural healing process and stop you from receiving the best results from the procedure. Exercises stimulate your heart rate and blood flow, leading to increased swelling. In some cases, your provider may limit vigorous exercise for two weeks.
Of course, there is always some risk with most medical and cosmetic procedures.
Some potential side effects or complications include:
- Visible sutures, especially if you happen to have thin skin
- Pain, inflammation, or minor bruising
- In some cases, infection
- Snapping of threads
- Hematoma of the accumulation of blood
If you received a thread lift and are considering an additional treatment like a dermal filler, talk with your provider first. It takes weeks to heal and weeks to see the results from the thread lift.
The results can be long-lasting for some people, but they are temporary, usually lasting one to two years.
