The Art of a Non-Surgical Lift

PDO Threads

A non-surgical lifting treatment that uses biodegradable threads to reposition tissue, stimulate collagen, and create a firmer, more lifted look.

What it is

A thread lift and collagen-stimulating treatment in one.

PDO Threads use biodegradable polydioxanone sutures to lift, tighten, and support skin that has lost elasticity.

Lifting or barbed threads can mechanically reposition sagging tissue, while smooth or mono threads create a supportive scaffold under the skin. Over 4-6 months, the threads dissolve while collagen builds around them.

Lift now, collagen later

PDO thread planning depends on skin laxity, tissue weight, treatment area, and whether the goal is lift, texture support, or both.

01 Immediate lift

Lifting threads can reposition sagging tissue for visible support right away.

02 Collagen stimulation

As threads dissolve, collagen production can improve firmness over time.

03 No surgical scars

Threads are placed through tiny entry points rather than surgical incisions.

PDO Threads treatment planning
Treatment flow

Local numbing and careful thread placement.

The procedure typically takes about 45-60 minutes. The area is cleansed, then local anesthetic is placed at entry points and along thread paths to support comfort.

Assess

Your provider evaluates skin laxity, facial structure, and lift goals.

Map

Thread paths are planned to support natural lift and collagen stimulation.

03

Place

Threads are inserted through small entry points with local numbing for comfort.

Why patients consider it

Lifted contours, firmer skin, and natural collagen support.

Instant Lift

Instant Lift

Barbed threads can create immediate mechanical support in sagging areas.

Collagen Foundation

Collagen Foundation

New collagen forms around the dissolving threads for longer-term firmness.

Minimal Scarring

Minimal Scarring

Tiny entry points mean no surgical incision or visible facelift scar.

Results

Immediate support with improvement that can continue.

A lifting effect can be visible right away, while collagen support builds as threads dissolve over 4-6 months. Results may last up to 12-18 months with proper care, though longevity varies by thread type, area, tissue quality, and aftercare.
