pdo thread lift

PDO Threads also known as Thread Lift treatments, are non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments that mimic the results of a facelift without the cutting, scarring, or anesthesia typically associated with the traditional surgical procedure. These dissolvable threads give our client’s the lift and youthful appearance they desire for months at a time.

Once in place, the PDO thread then has chemical reactions within the sub-dermal tissues of your skin to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Over time, the threads are fully absorbed into the body.

frequently asked questions

PDO Threads are a type of non-invasive and non-surgical cosmetic treatment that helps reverse the visible signs of aging on the face and neck.  A versatile cosmetic tool, PDO threads are placed beneath the skin’s surface to lift, rejuvenate and volumize the skin. They are made from a safe, absorbable and biocompatible material.

Upon placement into the skin, they lift and tighten the skin tissue into a more youthful position resulting in an instant lift. Once in place, the PDO thread has a chemical reaction within the sub-dermal tissues of your skin to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Over time, the threads are fully absorbed into the body, extending the duration of your results while preserving a natural look.

The PDO threads can be used to treat nearly any area of the face where a patient might desire lifted, tightened skin including:

  • Brows
  • Forehead wrinkles and lines
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Sagging jawline or jowls
  • Drooping cheeks
  • Chin and neck

For the right candidate, the Thread Lift can provide a pleasing, natural rejuvenation of the face with the benefit of no general anesthesia, rapid recovery and very minimal cost compared to a facelift or a necklift. Thread Lift may be combined with other, more minor surgical procedures, such as Botox, Injectable Fillers, microneedling or skin resurfacing lasers.

Ideal candidates for thread lifts include those with minimal signs of aging who need just a small lift. Good candidates are those who are starting to see some droopiness of the brow, cheeks, jowls and/or neck and would like to see a lift effect, but do not want the risk, scars, or recovery of a real browlift, facelift, or necklift operation. Or for those who do not wish to undergo a surgical facelift or necklift for various reasons such as not wanting a prolonged recovery of a stand facelift or do not wish to spend money on an expensive facelift.

The areas to be treated will be numbed with topical as well as local anesthetic. The areas to be treated are then marked. The threads are then inserted under the skin in precise locations using a small hollow needle. The skin is immediately lifted and tightened as the PDO threads are placed. This requires no cuts or incisions. Once the desired results are achieved, any excess threading will be removed to produce a smooth and natural appearance. The PDO thread treatment takes up to one hour to perform.
The results of this treatment are immediate. On the same day as your treatment, you will notice that your skin has fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and you will have a more youthful-looking visage. The results of this treatment will continue to improve as the threads interact with your body’s natural regenerative abilities to increase latent amounts of skin-supporting proteins and acids in the skin.
Pain can be usually managed with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and/or ibuprofen (Advil). We recommend avoiding strenuous activity for few days. After receiving PDO threads, you may experience some minor sensitivity, swelling or redness in the treatment area, however, these side effects should fade within a few weeks. There is very little downtime required after your PDO threads are inserted. You will be able to resume most normal activities immediately after your appointment, and we will provide you with further instruction on caring for your skin during the days following your treatment.

Since PDO thread lifts are non-invasive, there isn’t a lot you need to do to prepare. However, there are some precautionary measures you can take to ensure the best results from your treatment. Here are things you should avoid one to two days before treatment:

  • Alcohol
  • Ginko
  • Omega fish oil supplements
  • Chinese medicine
  • Vitamin E
  • High-intensity workouts
  • Steam rooms and saunas
There are not a lot of special after-care requirements to this treatment. However, you should hold off on any dental treatments for the first two weeks after your PDO thread lift. Holding your mouth open for an excessive period of time can affect the results of your treatment. Moreover, you’ll want to sleep on your back for the first couple of weeks. This ensures you don’t put too much pressure on one side of your face.
