Biocompatible threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) are inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula. PDO is a safe material commonly used in medical sutures. The inserted threads have small barbs or cones that anchor into the skin, allowing them to lift and reposition sagging tissues. This helps to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin. Over time, the PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. This collagen production helps to further enhance the lifting and tightening effects of the treatment. The PDO threads gradually dissolve over several months, but the effects of collagen stimulation can last longer. The exact duration of results varies depending on individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and skin condition.

Thread lifts accomplish results that last for up to three years. Patients who wish to achieve long-term improvement with their thread lift can receive another PDO Thread Lift at this point to extend their lifted, rejuvenated results. The PDO Threads will be dissolved and expelled naturally from the body within six months of the procedure.

A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift. It can provide noticeable lifting and tightening effects without the need for invasive surgery. This procedure instantly tightens and lifts the face, while also stimulating collagen production. This can lead to long-term improvements in skin texture and quality.

A PDO Thread Lift, when performed by a certified medical professional, is a safe, effective procedure. Bruising and swelling are common post-procedure, but are a normal part of the healing process and will diminish in the days following the Thread Lift. In the rare case that a thread shows through the skin or moves to a different position, they can be removed safely and easily.

While some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort may occur after the procedure, the downtime associated with a PDO thread lift is generally shorter compared to surgical options. Most individuals can resume their normal activities within a few days.

The price of your PDO Thread Lift will depend on the details of your individualized treatment plan. The cost of a PDO Thread Lift varies based on treatment area, type of thread, number of threads, and if additional rejuvenating procedures will be included. Once the details of your treatment plan have been determined, you will receive a cost estimate that reflects your personalized plan.

You will see an improvement in the lift and contour of your skin within a week of your PDO Thread Lift. As your body produces more collagen to support the changes accomplished with the Threads, you will notice more youthful volume in the desired areas. With every passing week, your results will improve as the skin adjusts to its new position. Your body will dissolve your PDO Threads within four to six months.Your PDO Thread Lift will leave skin lifted, tightened, and volumized, with results lasting up to three years. Patients can extend the results of their Thread Lift with subsequent treatments.
