A non-surgical lift, carefully assessed
PDO threads may support subtle lifting for select candidates — planned with anatomy, safety and long-term facial balance in mind.
For select patients seeking lift without surgery
Thread lifting is not appropriate for every face or every goal. We discuss candidacy candidly and recommend alternatives when they are better suited.
Mild sagging
Early laxity where a conservative lift may be more appropriate than dramatic intervention.
Facial balance
Patients who want improved contour while preserving natural proportions.
Non-surgical preference
Those not ready for surgery but interested in a clinically guided aesthetic option.
Honest candidacy
People who want clear guidance about what threads can and cannot do.
PDO threads, clearly priced
Dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads: barbed lifting threads reposition sagging skin, smooth threads focus on texture and collagen.
FDA-approved PDO threads — biocompatible, self-dissolving suture material used in medicine for decades.
Local anesthesia or numbing cream; slight pressure or pulling rather than pain. Smooth threads take about 30 minutes.
Lift visible right away and improving as collagen builds; results last 12–18 months. Threads fully absorb within 4–6 months.
Back to normal in 24–48 hours; mild swelling or tightness settles within 1–2 weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy chewing and facial massage for 1–2 weeks.

PDO thread lifts, answered
Is a PDO thread lift the same as a facelift?
No. Threads can provide subtle support in select cases, but they do not replace surgical lifting. We explain limitations before treatment.
How long do results last?
Duration varies by anatomy, thread type and lifestyle. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations during consultation.
What is recovery like?
Bruising, swelling, tightness or tenderness can occur. We provide aftercare and activity guidance to reduce risk.
Will you recommend another option if threads are not right?
Yes. A conservative recommendation is part of the standard of care, especially when another treatment would serve you better.
