Please keep reading to learn how face threading works, what types of threads we use, and what to expect during your treatment.
PDO thread lifts offer both immediate lift and gradual skin improvement. Here’s why this treatment is gaining popularity:
- Non-Surgical Face Lift: Achieve a lifted, contoured look without the downtime of surgery.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Threads encourage new collagen to form, enhancing skin firmness over time.
- Customizable Results: Depending on your skin goals, choose between lifting, smoothing, or volumizing threads.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to normal activities on the same day.
- Natural-Looking Outcome: Threads dissolve over time and are replaced with collagen for a subtle, long-lasting lift.
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed just beneath the skin using a cannulated needle. Once inserted, they act as a support structure, lifting sagging skin along predetermined vectors while stimulating the body to produce new collagen.
There are three main types of PDO threads, each with a unique purpose:
- Smooth Threads: Stimulate collagen to improve texture and elasticity.
- Barbed Threads: Feature tiny hooks that physically lift and anchor sagging skin.
- Screw Threads: Add volume to hollow or sunken areas of the face.
The threads gradually dissolve over 4-6 months while collagen builds, creating firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
PDO thread lifts are ideal for adults suffering from mild to moderate laxity who prefer a non-surgical solution. You may be a great candidate if:
- You have sagging skin in areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, or brows
- You want a subtle, natural-looking lift without going under the knife
- You’re noticing loss of volume or structure in the face
- You’re in good overall health and want long-term collagen stimulation

THREAD LIFT TREATMENT BEFORE & AFTER
FAQ's
What are PDO threads?
PDO threads are medical-grade, dissolvable sutures placed beneath skin to lift sagging tissue and promote collagen production.
What are the benefits of PDO threads?
They provide an instant lift, improve skin texture, and gradually enhance collagen levels, offering long-term rejuvenation without surgery.
How do threads work?
Threads are inserted into the dermis to create a support structure for lifting. As they dissolve, they stimulate collagen production for firmer, tighter skin.
How long do threads last?
Threads typically dissolve in 4-6 months, but results can last up to 12-18 months as new collagen improves the skin’s appearance.
FAQ's
How Do Threads Work?
Threads work by stimulation of new collagen formation. Collagen is the most abundant protein of the skin that gives support. Threads are dissolvable sutures that gradually get replaced with collagen as they absorb, thereby adding structure to areas of the skin that are depleted.
A medical provider will use a cannulated needle to place threads within the dermis along specific vectors that lift the skin.
Recovery from threads is minimal, and most will be able to return to daily routines immediately. Potential side effects would be swelling, bruising, hematoma, thread breakage, visible sutures, or skin dimpling.
How Long Do Threads Last?
Longevity of threads can depend on which type of thread is being used, and the age of the patient.
PDO Threads will have immediate results, and can last 6 month to 1 year before returning to baseline. Younger patients tend to have longer lasting results, while older patients tend to have less due to lower skin volume and elasticity.
Depending on your goals, threads may be a good option to achieve a lifted appearance without surgery.
