PDO THREAD LIFT
WHAT IS A PDO THREAD LIFT?
A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses polydioxanone (PDO) sutures, a type of absorbable thread used widely in the medical field. This procedure is centered on lifting and tightening sagging skin tissue, a common concern as we age.
The threads are carefully inserted into the skin, providing an immediate lift to the sagging tissues. But the true beauty of this treatment lies in its long-term effects. As the PDO threads dissolve over time, they stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen, the protein responsible for maintaining our skin’s strength and elasticity. This collagen stimulation results in improved skin texture, volume and an overall youthful appearance.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Benefits of PDO Threads include:
- Immediately lifts sagging facial skin
- Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Improves the overall tone and texture of the skin for a more youthful and refreshed appearance
- Involves minimal downtime–you can resume most daily activities right away

FAQ
Who is an ideal candidate for PDO Threads?
A PDO thread lift is an excellent solution for those who seek effective results without the downtime of traditional surgery. Good candidates are healthy individuals who:
- Have moderate sagging in the face, especially the cheeks, jawline or neck
- Have jowls or an undefined chin not caused by excess fat
- Are seeking a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift
- Have good skin quality with some residual elasticity
- Are in good general health
However, as with any aesthetic procedure, a PDO Thread Lift may not be suitable for everyone. A detailed consultation at Align Aesthetics will help us determine if this treatment is right for you.
When will I see results after my PDO Thread Lift?
The PDO Thread Lift offers immediate and long-term results. Immediately post-procedure, you’ll notice a significant lift in the treated areas. This is due to the physical lifting effect of the threads.
As the threads dissolve over the next six months, they stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. This results in a gradual improvement in skin tone, texture and volume. Most patients notice the full effects of collagen stimulation about three months after the procedure.
What can I expect during my appointment?
Upon your arrival at Align Aesthetics, you’ll be greeted by our warm, professional staff. The PDO Thread Lift procedure begins with a thorough cleansing of the treatment area. A local anesthetic is then applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
The PDO threads are then introduced into the skin using a thin needle. The number of threads used will depend on your specific needs and desired results. The threads are then carefully positioned to lift and support the sagging tissue.
Once the procedure is completed, you’ll be able to return home and resume most of your regular activities. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and swift recovery.
How long do the results of PDO Threads last?
The results of a PDO Thread Lift can last up to a year. However, individual results may vary based on lifestyle, age and skin condition.
Should I get PDO Threads or a face lift?
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a quicker recovery time and less risk compared to a surgical facelift. It’s an excellent option for those seeking significant, yet natural-looking improvements to skin laxity without the downtime and potential complications associated with surgery.
