PDO threads are a non-surgical treatment that uses biodegradable sutures (made of Polydioxanone, a material safely used in cardiac surgery for decades) to lift and tighten skin that has lost elasticity.
There are various types of threads: lifting/barbed threads mechanically lift and reposition sagging tissue, while smooth/mono threads are placed to create a mesh-like scaffolding just under the skin. Over the next 4–6 months, the body naturally absorbs the PDO material, while simultaneously triggering a powerful natural response of neocollagenesis (new collagen production) around the thread, resulting in a firming, lifting, and tightening effect that lasts long after the threads have dissolved.
Who Is This Treatment For?
PDO threads are an excellent option for non-surgical skin tightening and lifting. This treatment is ideal if you want to:






PDO Threads offer a dual benefit: immediate repositioning and long-term biological rejuvenation.
With barbed or lifting threads, a visible mechanical lift is achieved instantly as the thread repositions the tissue, providing immediate improvement to the treated area.
As the threads dissolve, the robust collagen structure that forms in their place acts as a new support system for the skin, resulting in progressive and long-lasting tightening and anti-aging benefits.
The procedure is performed using cannulas (blunt needles) through tiny entry points, which are practically invisible, resulting in no surgical scars.
The procedure takes approximately 45–60 minutes. The area is thoroughly cleansed, and local anesthetic (numbing) is injected at the entry points and along the path of the threads to ensure maximum comfort during the placement.
The Recovery Period: Minimal swelling and bruising are common for the first few days, particularly with lifting threads. You may feel a slight tightness or tenderness, and you might see minor skin puckering, which typically resolves within 1–2 weeks.
The Gradual Result: The immediate lift is a great starting point, but the true, long-term tightening and collagen-building effects begin to become fully apparent at 2–3 months post-procedure, continuing to improve for up to six months.
Longevity: While the threads fully dissolve in 4–6 months, the collagen scaffolding they leave behind provides durable anti-aging benefits that can last for 18 to 24 months or longer, depending on the area treated and the individual’s lifestyle.

No. We use local anesthetic to completely numb the treatment area before thread insertion. You may feel a sensation of tugging or pressure, but the process itself should not be painful.
You must avoid strenuous exercise for 1 week and avoid facial massage, dental work, or opening your mouth wide for 3-4 weeks. It is also advised to sleep on your back for the first week to prevent putting pressure on the threads.
Once the initial settling period (1–2 weeks) is over, you should not be able to feel the threads. The material is designed to integrate seamlessly into the skin’s structure.
PDO threads are safely and fully absorbed by the body through a natural process called hydrolysis, typically taking between 4 to 6 months.
Yes, PDO threads work exceptionally well with other treatments. They are often performed in combination with dermal fillers (for volume) or Botox (for line smoothing) to achieve a comprehensive, full-face rejuvenation plan.
