PDO Thread Lift
A PDO Thread lift uses small surgical strings made of polydioxanone to create more precise tightening results than a traditional facelift, with no cutting or scarring, and with minimal downtime. It lifts various areas of the face, holding the skin in place and continuing to plump the skin over time by stimulating collagen.

Prior to starting the treatment, a topical numbing agent and local anesthetic are applied to the treatment site. The needle used is extremely fine and causes no pain. However, anesthesia is provided to ensure complete comfort during the procedure.
-
Once the anesthetic has taken effect, the treatment begins. PDO threads are inserted using either blunt-tip cannulas or sharp-tipped needles. They act as anchors, lifting the skin upward when placed in the appropriate layer. Excess threads are then trimmed.

This treatment is completely safe, FDA-approved for both safety and efficacy. It has been widely performed with hundreds of thousands of treatments, and there have been no reports of allergic reactions, thread sensitivities, or serious side effects.

What is a PDO Thread Jawline Lift
A PDO Thread Jawline Lift is a non-surgical procedure that provides precise tightening results without cutting or scarring, and with minimal downtime. By utilizing small surgical strings made of polydioxanone (PDO), it lifts and tightens sagging skin tissues, particularly around the midface. These threads are inserted deep into the skin to produce instant jawline lifting and tightening, resulting in a contoured and sharpened jawline. Additionally, the treatment stimulates collagen production, improving texture, fine lines, and wrinkles while slowing down the aging process.
What is a PDO Thread Cheek Lift
A PDO Thread Cheek Lift is a treatment that lifts and tightens sagging skin tissues around the midface using threads made of polydioxanone. The lifting thread is introduced deep into the layer of the skin to instant lifting and tighten the cheek. Additionally, it promotes cellular renewal through collagen stimulation to improve texture, fine lines, and wrinkles.
PDO Smooth Threads
PDO smooth threads are dissolvable sutures that are extremely thin (the size of a strand of hair) and made of a neutral substance that’s very compatible with our bodies. It’s the same material that has been used for stitching wounds for decades. When doctors noticed the improvement in skin texture, collagen, and firmness after a sutured cut had healed, the novel idea came about to load this suture thread onto a needle to help place it under the skin, specifically for skin improvement.
The benefits of smooth threads are the long-lasting skin enhancement results achieved with this treatment. However, patience is necessary when being treated with smooth threads, as results are gradual and noticeable after four weeks. The results then continue to improve for the life of the threads which is six months and lasts up to two years. Other benefits of smooth threads are that it is minimally invasive, low cost, and an easy way to slow down skin’s aging process or reverse some signs of aging, making the skin look firmer and more youthful.
