Smooth threads stimulate collagen to help the skin naturally tighten and firm. Lifting threads generate a lifting effect. The procedure uses strong barbed threads to pull the skin back and hold the folds up, offering a significantly greater lift to sagging skin.

Forehead, eyebrows, undereye, cheeks, jowls, jawline, smile lines, under chin, neck, abdomen, and décolletage are some of the most common areas for PDO threads.

PDO (Polydioxanone) lifting threads are typically made of a biocompatible synthetic polymer. PDO is known for its safety and compatibility with the human body, as it is gradually absorbed over time. These threads are commonly used in aesthetic procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin.

On average, PDO threads can last anywhere from 8-12 months. However, some patients may see results that last up to 2 years.

Patients can expect to experience some swelling and bruising for the first couple of days after your visit. Avoid touching and be sure to keep the treated area clean. It is recommended to sleep on your back the first few days. Avoid eating bagels, tall sandwiches, steak, chewing gum and other items that require lots of chewing or widely opening your mouth for 2 weeks. Push off any dental visits for 2 weeks post treatment. We recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for at least 48-72 hours after the treatment. You may resume your normal activities on the same day as your visit. Tylenol, ice and arnica may be used to help with soreness and bruising.
