PDO Thread Lifts
One of the Most Popular Non-Invasive Treatments for Skin lifting
PDO threading is a technique that uses absorbent surgical threads (PDO Threads) to tighten and lift the skin. To increase and raise the position your skin, and stimulate greater collagen production, the threads are strategically injected into targeted areas. This will re-contour your facial contours and give you youthful tightness. The threads will dissolve over time and are not harmful to your health.
PDO threading can be applied to sagging or drooping skin. This includes the buttocks, knees, breasts and abdomen. Mahsa might recommend PDO threading to other areas of your body in order to lay down collagen as well. This works because the thread filament contains elastic fibers that create a tightening effect over the course of time. The PDO thread will dissolve and be replaced with new collagen.
How do PDO threads work to tighten sagging skin on the face or body?
PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, which stimulates collagen production and tightens the deeper structures of your face. PDO thread lifts can contour and lift the face, and help you tighten sagging skin. These benefits include:
- Instant skin lifting and softening facial folds/creases by mechanically lifting threads
- Collagen stimulation and cell renewal improve skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles
- Approximating tissues to tighten the skin
PDO threads are able to dissolve in six months. However, the increased collagen production can continue for up two years. PDO threads have very few side effects and are extremely safe.

What should I expect when getting non-surgical treatments for sagging facial skin?
A PDO thread lift might be the best option for you if you have mild to moderate skin laxity. Talk to our team if your skin laxity has become severe. Mahsa may be able to recommend a solution that is right for you, even if this is not the best option at this time.
Patients don’t have to be away from home for long periods of time because PDO threadlift is noninvasive. Although there may be some slight swelling and bruising, it will disappear quickly. It’s fine to apply concealer immediately to any mild discoloration that may occur after treatment.
Although it can vary, most patients experience long-lasting results. A PDO thread lift can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, on average.
