What is PDO Thread Lift?
Also known as: PDO Threads, Polydioxanone Thread Lift, PDO Max Thread Lift
A PDO thread lift places dissolvable threads under the skin to gently lift and reposition sagging tissue while stimulating collagen, offering subtle firming without surgery.
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), a material long used in medical sutures. The threads are placed under the skin, where small barbs gently lift and support sagging areas. Over the following months the threads safely dissolve, but they leave behind stimulated collagen that continues the firming effect.
It is often used along the cheeks, jawline, and neck for people who want a subtle lift without surgery and with relatively little downtime. Results appear right away from the lifting and continue to improve as collagen builds. A consultation determines whether threads suit your goals.
