4 Questions to Ask About Non-Surgical PDO Thread Face Lifts

PDO threads are dissolvable threads that are used to tighten and lift your aging skin. The PDO thread lift procedure is non-surgical and less invasive than a facelift surgery performed by plastic surgeons, and this procedure can be completed in around 45 minutes or less depending on each area being treated. No scalpel or needing to go under anesthetic for this procedure!

The PDO threads used in our PDO thread lift procedure are polydioxanone threads which are biodegradable polyester threads, these threads are best suited to help rejuvenate your skin and offer a natural looking lift.

The presence of these threads in your skin helps to trigger the cells in your body which are called fibroblasts to then produce more collagen. This protein is what gives your skin the structure and elasticity. As we continue to age, we start to lose collagen in our face, neck and other areas of the body; PDO thread lift helps to restore this and offers a facelift without needing to get plastic surgery done.

PDO thread lifts offer the ability of immediate results on your sagging skin. This procedure can last anywhere up to the 1-year mark or longer, as it depends on each individual’s ability to break down the sutures. Many patients have been able to go anywhere from 1 to 9 years before needing another PDO thread lift procedure done.
