— Our Approach
An instant lift that keeps working after it dissolves.
PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a biocompatible, absorbable suture material used safely in surgery for decades. Placed under the skin through a fine cannula, they instantly reposition lax tissue and anchor it in a more youthful position.
Over the following months the threads gradually dissolve, but they leave behind something more durable: a controlled inflammatory response that stimulates new collagen along the thread path. The lift you see at first is supported by collagen you build afterward.
The thread is temporary. The collagen it builds is the point.
— Where We Lift
Subtle repositioning, natural lines.
Cheeks & Midface
Restores lift to descended cheeks and the midface where volume has dropped.
Brow & Fox Eye
Elevates the brow tail for a subtle, lifted ‘fox-eye’ effect without surgery.
Neck & Smile Lines
Softens neck laxity and supports the nasolabial folds for an overall refresh.
— Common Questions
Things people ask us, often.
01How long does a PDO thread lift last?
The threads themselves dissolve over about four to six months, but the collagen they stimulate sustains the lift, so results typically last 12 to 18 months. Longevity varies with your age, skin quality, and lifestyle, and many patients maintain results with periodic treatments.
02Is a thread lift painful?
It is well tolerated. We numb the area with local anesthetic first, so most patients feel pressure or tugging rather than pain during placement. Mild soreness, swelling, or bruising for a few days afterward is normal and resolves on its own.
03What is the downtime?
Minimal. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two, though we ask you to avoid heavy exercise, dental work, and exaggerated facial movements for a couple of weeks while the threads settle and collagen forms. You may have some swelling early on.
04How is this different from a surgical facelift?
A thread lift lifts and stimulates collagen without incisions, anesthesia, or weeks of recovery, but the effect is more subtle and shorter-lived than surgery. It is ideal for mild to moderate sagging; for significant excess skin, a surgical facelift gives a more dramatic, lasting result, and we will say so if that is your situation.
05When will I see the final result?
You see an immediate lift the day of treatment from the threads themselves, and the result continues to improve over the next four to six weeks as new collagen forms. Any initial swelling settles within the first one to two weeks.
