PDO Lifting Threads: A Revolutionary Non-Surgical Lift

PDO (Polydioxanone) lifting threads are an advanced, non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating natural collagen production. This procedure is an excellent alternative to surgical facelifts, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.

How Do PDO Threads Work?

PDO threads are ultra-thin, dissolvable sutures strategically inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once placed, these threads provide an instant lifting effect while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Types of PDO Threads:

1. Barbed Threads (Cog Threads):  Designed for lifting and repositioning sagging skin, commonly used for the jawline, cheeks and brows.
2. Smooth Threads:  Stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, commonly used for fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Twist Threads:  Add volume and firmness to areas with deeper wrinkles or skin laxity, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Treatment Areas:

• Jawline & Jowls: Defines and contours the lower face for a more sculpted look.
• Cheeks & Midface: Lifts sagging skin, restoring youthful volume.
• Brows & Forehead: Provides a subtle brow lift, reducing hooded eyelids.
• Neck & Décolletage: Tightens loose skin and improves texture.
• Under Eyes: Smooths out fine lines and crepey skin.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes. A topical anesthetic or local numbing agent is applied for comfort. PDO threads are then inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.

How Long Do PDO Thread Results Last?

Results are visible immediately and improve over the next 2-3 months as collagen builds. The effects typically last between 12-18 months, depending on individual skin quality, lifestyle, and metabolism.

Key Benefits of PDO Thread Lifting:

• Instant, natural-looking lift with minimal downtime
• Stimulates collagen for long-term skin rejuvenation
• Minimally invasive with no major incisions or scars
• Can be combined with other treatments like dermal fillers or skin resurfacing

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PDO threads are ideal for individuals in their 30s to 60s experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want to improve sagging skin without undergoing surgery.
