What Concerns Do PDO Threads Address?

A Dual-Action Approach to Lifting and Tightening

A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses sutures made of Polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten sagging skin tissue. We use two main types of threads: lifting threads, which have small barbs to grip the skin and provide an immediate physical lift, and smooth threads, which are placed in a mesh-like pattern to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality. Over several months, the threads are safely absorbed by the body, leaving behind a new matrix of collagen that maintains the lifted and tightened result.

  • Sagging jowls and jawline
  • Drooping cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Neck and décolleté laxity
  • Subtle brow lift

The best part? You get the benefit of an immediate lift combined with the long-term improvement of natural collagen production.

What to Expect During Your PDO Thread Lift

Personalized, Professional, and Effective

Your PDO Thread Lift at Advanced Aesthetics is performed with the utmost care and precision.

  1. Before Treatment

    The treatment area is cleansed, and we will mark the entry points and vectors for the threads. Local anesthetic is injected to ensure the procedure is painless.

  2. During Treatment

    A small pilot hole is made. The threads, which are pre-loaded onto a cannula, are then inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin and guided along the predetermined vectors.

  3. After Treatment

    Once the threads are in place, the cannula is removed, and the tissue is gently adjusted to create the lift. You will see an immediate result. Some swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected.

  4. When Will I See Results?

    The initial lift is visible immediately. This result will continue to improve over the next 3-6 months as your body produces new collagen around the threads.

  5. Additional Benefits

    • Provides immediate skin lifting and tightening
    • Stimulates long-term collagen and elastin production
    • Improves skin texture, tone, and firmness
    • Minimally invasive with minimal downtime
    • Results can last 12-18 months
    • No incisions or scarring

  • Have good skin quality but are starting to see laxity
  • Are between the ages of 35 and 65

Combining PDO Threads with Other Treatments

Maximize Your Results

PDO threads provide a mechanical lift that repositions tissue, and when combined with treatments that restore volume, smooth lines, and improve skin quality, the result is a more complete facial rejuvenation. Popular combinations include:

  • Dermal FillersRestore volume to areas like the cheeks and temples while threads lift and reposition lax tissue, addressing both structural concerns in one plan.
  • Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport)Relax dynamic expression lines alongside your thread lift for a smoother, more balanced overall result.
  • Morpheus8Improve skin texture and tightness with RF microneedling to complement the lifting effect of the threads and extend your results.
  • Collagen BiostimulatorsUse Sculptra or Radiesse to rebuild the skin's collagen framework beneath the threads, supporting and prolonging the lift over time.

During your consultation, we'll evaluate your facial anatomy and design a combined approach that lifts, restores, and refines, for a result that looks naturally refreshed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your PDO Thread Lift Questions, Answered

How long does a PDO Thread Lift last?

The threads themselves dissolve in about 6-9 months, but the new collagen they stimulate can provide results that last for 12-18 months or longer.

Is the procedure painful?

No. We use a local anesthetic to completely numb the treatment area, so you will not feel pain during the insertion of the threads.

Is there downtime?

There is social downtime of about 3-7 days due to potential swelling and bruising. We recommend planning for this.

Can you feel the threads under your skin?

Immediately after the procedure, you may be able to feel the threads if you press on the skin. This sensation will disappear as the threads integrate into your tissue.

What are the risks?

Risks are minimal but can include bruising, swelling, infection, and temporary skin irregularities like dimpling. Choosing an expert provider minimizes these risks.

How is this different from a surgical facelift?

A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that provides a more subtle lift with minimal downtime. A surgical facelift is a major surgery that removes excess skin and provides a more dramatic, longer-lasting result but with significant downtime and risks.
