A thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses special threads to subtly lift and tighten sagging skin. A doctor inserts thin threads made of absorbable materials like PDO (polydioxanone) under your skin. These thread treatments often have barbs or cones to grip the tissue and provide a lifting effect.

Did you know that the threads not only lift and tighten your skin, but also stimulate the production of collagen, which results in a plumper and stronger skin over time? It’s amazing how this simple procedure can do wonders for your skin.

How Does PDO Thread Lift Work and Its Procedure

If you’re considering a non-surgical way to subtly lift and rejuvenate your skin, a PDO thread lift might be worth exploring.

First, you’ll consult a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and assess your suitability. They’ll examine your skin and medical history to make sure you’re a good candidate.

Before the procedure itself, you might need to stop certain medications and avoid smoking or alcohol for a short time.

During the PDO thread lift, local anesthesia numbs the treatment area. Then, the doctor inserts thin threads with tiny barbs into your skin using a fine needle or cannula. These barbs anchor the threads and provide a lifting effect. The doctor positions them strategically to achieve your desired outcome, and the number of threads used depends on the area treated and the degree of correction needed.
