What Is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO thread lift uses polydioxanone threads placed beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect while also supporting collagen formation that can help improve the look of firmness and texture as you heal.
Two PDO Thread Approaches
We select the thread type based on your anatomy and goals.
Benefits
- Lifted, more contoured appearance
- Minimally invasive alternative to surgery
- Collagen-supporting benefits over time
- Little to no downtime for most patients
- Pairs well with complementary treatments (when appropriate)
What to Expect
Local anesthetic is typically used for comfort. Threads are placed according to your treatment plan and you go home the same day. Temporary swelling, bruising, and redness near insertion points can occur for several days.
Aftercare
Follow your provider’s instructions carefully. Common guidance may include avoiding strenuous exercise/excessive sweating, avoiding rubbing or massaging the face, and avoiding straws for a short period as directed. Many people return to normal activities within about a week.
Best Candidates
Patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who want lift and contour without surgery may be good candidates. A consultation confirms candidacy and sets a realistic plan.

FAQs
Is a PDO thread lift the same as a facelift? +
No. A thread lift is minimally invasive and offers subtle-to-moderate lifting and contouring. A surgical facelift provides more dramatic structural repositioning.
Will I look “overdone”? +
The goal is natural refinement. Smooth threads can look very subtle; barbed threads can create a more immediate lift—your plan is customized.
Is there downtime? +
Downtime is usually minimal, but swelling/bruising can occur for several days. Many return to normal activities within about a week, depending on aftercare instructions.
How long do results last? +
Results vary by technique, skin quality, and lifestyle. Many patients enjoy results for months to 1–2+ years, and maintenance may be recommended.
What should I avoid after treatment? +
Common guidance includes avoiding strenuous activity, excessive sweating, rubbing/massaging the face, and straws for a short period—follow your provider’s exact plan.
