Absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) Threads are one of the hottest trends in medical aesthetics, offering clients a non-surgical alternative to facelift procedures. These injectable threads are composed of an FDA-approved suture material that’s been used in surgical settings for over 30 years. This suture material is re-absorbed by the body, and left in its wake is brand new collagen and elastin, which helps to strengthen and tighten the surrounding tissue.
We use PDO threads to smooth, tighten and/or lift targeted areas of the face like eyebrows and areas of the “upper-third,” lower face & jawline, as well as areas of the body like the upper arms/bat wings, tummy, thighs, and even knees to help with skin laxity and sagging!

PDO THREADS Q&A
Q: Is a thread lift painful?
A: During a thread lift procedure, you receive local anesthesia, so you don't feel any pain. After the procedure, you may experience some pain, discomfort and soreness. You can take an over the counter or prescription pain reliever for several days until the discomfort goes away.
Q: How long does a PDO thread lift last?
A: The results can last anywhere from 1-3 years. If you are looking for a non-surgical way to achieve firmer, younger-looking skin, a PDO thread lift may be the ideal fit for you. It is a low-risk, minimally invasive procedure that delivers instant results with very little downtime.
Q: Where they can be used
A: PDO threads can be used on the neck, jowls, jaw line, nasolabial folds, crow's feet, under eye area, eyebrows, cheeks, and marionette lines.
Q: What are the types of threads?
A: There are two main types of PDO threads: floating non-barbed threads and floating barbed threads.
