Treatment Overview

PDO Thread Lifting is an advanced, non-surgical procedure designed to instantly lift sagging skin while stimulating long-term collagen production. Medical-grade, dissolvable Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are strategically inserted beneath the skin to mechanically anchor and lift dropped tissues in the mid-face, jawline, and neck. Over the following months, the threads dissolve, leaving behind a robust matrix of your own new collagen.

Step-by-Step Process

1

Vector Mapping

We carefully mark the vectors of pull on your face to determine the exact trajectory needed to lift sagging tissues naturally.

2

Local Anesthetic

Local anesthetic is injected at the entry points and along the thread pathways to ensure the procedure is entirely pain-free.

3

Thread Insertion

The PDO threads are introduced via a blunt cannula and anchored into the subdermal tissue to provide an immediate mechanical lift.

4

Tissue Redraping

The skin is gently redraped over the threads, and the ends are trimmed. You leave with an instantly lifted profile.

Key Benefits

  • Provides an immediate, mechanical lift to sagging jowls and cheeks.
  • Stimulates a profound neocollagenesis response over 6 months.
  • Non-surgical alternative to a facelift with significantly less downtime.
  • Threads are safely and completely absorbed by the body.

Aftercare Protocol

Expect swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness for up to a week. You must sleep on your back, avoid excessive facial movements, and refrain from rigorous exercise or dental appointments for 2-3 weeks.
