Stimulate Collagen Naturally with PDO Threads

PDO Threads are tiny sutures that can be strategically placed under the skin to tighten and lift by stimulating blood flow, and increasing collagen and elastin production.

How PDO Threads Work

PDO Threads are surgical grade sutures that dissolve over the course of 6 months to a year, but unlike fillers and toxins, they trigger regeneration of aging tissue as they breakdown. You will not feel them or see them as they work under the surface, bringing back the youthful, healthy appearance of skin.

Threads are the perfect solution for areas that are challenging or dangerous to address with filler, such as under eye and glabella. They can also be used to sculpt and tighten the jawline, providing a non-surgical face lift with little to no downtime.

In a simple, in-office procedure, lasting 20-30 minutes, delicate threads are placed under the skin. You can return to normal activities the same day, and as with any injection, mild bruising can be expected. Results appear immediately and continue to develop over 6 weeks. Peak results obtained in 1-2 treatments, with maintenance recommended yearly.

FAQs

What concerns can PDO threads help with?

PDO threads may help with sagging skin, loss of firmness, mild to moderate skin laxity, and can enhance facial contours — for example around the cheeks, jawline, and lower face.

How does the procedure work?

During the treatment, dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads provide immediate lift and support, and over time encourage collagen production for improved skin tone and firmness.

Is the treatment painful?

Discomfort is usually minimal. Providers commonly use local anesthesia or numbing to make the procedure comfortable. You may feel some pressure or mild sensation during the process.

Is there downtime after PDO thread treatment?

Downtime is often minimal. Some clients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or soreness at the treatment sites. These generally subside within a few days to a week.

Are PDO threads safe for most skin types and ages?

PDO threads can often be adapted to different skin types and can suit a range of ages, but suitability should always be evaluated during a consultation based on skin condition and health history.

Who is a good candidate for PDO threads?

Good candidates are individuals seeking a subtle lift and firmer skin without surgery — particularly those with early to moderate skin laxity. A consultation will help determine if threads are appropriate for your skin and goals.

What should I do to prepare and after treatment?

Before: come with clean skin and avoid strong skin treatments or irritants as advised by your provider. After: follow aftercare instructions, avoid strenuous activity or pressure to treated areas, and protect your skin from sun exposure to support healing and results.
