What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are a safe and effective way to help smooth wrinkles, treat sagging skin, and improve the contours of the face. This treatment is non-surgical and results can be seen immediately. Threads give your skin an instant lift and contract fat tissue to tighten your skin. PDO threads promote collagen production and renew your skin.
There are two kinds of PDO threads that serve different purposes.
- Smooth threads are used to improve skin texture and give support under stubborn stagnant wrinkles. These are effective in treating skin conditions such as acne scarring and necklace lines. Several treatments are required to see lasting results.
- Lifting threads are used to lift sagging skin and restore a youthful appearance. This treatment is more invasive than smooth threads but yields much more dramatic, instant, and lasting results in one visit.
How Do PDO Lifting Threads Work?
Both smooth and lifting PDO threads are surgical sutures that are placed under the surface of the skin to target areas of concern. Smooth threads help support skin and improve skin texture and tone as they dissolve by promoting your own collagen production. Lifting threads yield the same results while also providing a dramatic lift of sagging skin. Once the sutures are placed, they anchor the skin and help to lift it upwards. Threads promote collagen production as the sutures dissolve which holds skin in place. Since collagen is slow to metabolize thread lifts can last up to 2 years.

How Soon Will I See Results?
Smooth thread results are minimal immediately after one treatment. We recommend at least three treatments over several months to promote the maximum collagen production and see noticeable but natural improvements. After your lifting treatment most results are seen immediately. These include skin lifting and contouring. Some patients notice their skin feels and looks tighter immediately after the treatment. After one or two months the final results will be visible, and this varies for each patient. Most patients report improvements in skin tone and texture over the following months lasting up to 2 years as your natural collagen is produced.
Am I a Good Candidate?
If you have pigmentation issues, lines, or wrinkles you would be a good candidate for a PDO thread lift. PDO thread lifts are great for patients seeking an instant facial lift that is non-surgical.
