PDO Thread Lift
gives you a lifted, refreshed appearance without surgery.
A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical treatment designed to lift sagging skin and rejuvenate facial contours using dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin. These threads provide an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production over time, resulting in firmer, tighter, more youthful-looking skin. PDO threads are ideal for those seeking noticeable improvement without the downtime, scarring, or cost of surgical facelift procedures.
Lift, Tighten & Restore — Without Surgery.
- Instantly lifts sagging tissue.
- Stimulates collagen for long-term firmness.
- Enhances jawline, cheeks, and lower face.
- Minimal downtime with natural results.
PDO threads are made from polydioxanone — a medical-grade material safely used in surgical sutures for decades. When inserted under the skin, these threads create two powerful effects: an instant mechanical lift and a long-term collagen boost. The lifting threads physically reposition sagging tissue, while smooth or “collagen” threads enhance firmness and elasticity by stimulating fibroblasts. Over 4–6 months, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind improved structure, tighter skin, and renewed collagen. This makes PDO thread lifts a popular alternative to surgical lifting for patients seeking subtle to moderate tightening with minimal downtime.

PDO Thread Lift Treatment in Action
PDO Thread Lift Timeline
Click a milestone to explore your journey ✨
Day 1: Your treatment day
Your medical injector places dissolvable PDO threads beneath the skin using fine needles. The procedure takes around 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area treated. You may feel some tugging or pressure during placement. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are completely normal in the first 24 to 48 hours.
Week 1: Settling into position
Swelling and any bruising will begin to settle. You may feel some tightness or a pulling sensation as the threads settle into position. Avoid excessive facial movements, strenuous exercise, and sleeping face-down for the first 1 to 2 weeks. The initial mechanical lift is already visible.
Week 4: The true lift takes shape
By now the threads have fully integrated into the tissue. The initial swelling has completely resolved and you can see the true lift taking shape. Your body is beginning to produce new collagen around each thread, which will continue to build over the coming months.
3 Months: Collagen in full swing
This is where the magic happens. Your body's collagen production around the threads is in full swing. The skin will feel firmer and more supported than it did at week 4. The lift continues to improve as the collagen matrix strengthens and the tissue remodels naturally.
12 to 18 Months: Long-lasting lift
The PDO threads have fully dissolved by now, but the collagen scaffolding they stimulated remains. Results typically last 12 to 18 months from treatment. Your clinic team can advise on maintenance treatments to sustain the lift and continue collagen stimulation over time.
