How Do PDO Threads Work?

PDO threads are an innovative solution for lifting and tightening the skin without surgery. These specialized sutures help restore a youthful appearance by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin structure. They are:

  • Made from absorbable sutures – PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are synthetic, absorbable surgical sutures commonly used in medical procedures, including cardiothoracic surgeries like open-heart surgery. They are one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body.

  • Inserted using a preloaded needle – The thread comes preloaded in a hypodermic needle, which is gently inserted into the skin for precise placement.

  • Meant to remain beneath the skin – Once the needle is removed, the PDO thread stays in place, helping to lift and support sagging tissues.

  • Restoring the natural “V-Shape” – A youthful face typically has a V-shaped contour. Over time, gravity and aging cause this shape to diminish or invert. PDO threads help lift and reposition the skin, restoring a more defined and youthful look.

  • Fully absorbed with no scar tissue – The body naturally absorbs the threads within 4 to 6 months, leaving behind no scar tissue—only firmer, more youthful skin.

PDO threads are a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to achieve a lifted, rejuvenated appearance.

What Role Does Controlled Healing Play in a PDO Thread Lift?

PDO thread lifts work through a process called Selective Inflammatory Response, a controlled healing mechanism that is the foundation of many aesthetic treatments like fractional laser, chemical peels, and microneedling. The skin has a remarkable ability to repair itself, and by strategically inserting PDO threads, we trigger collagen production for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.

While PDO threads are fully absorbable, the skin doesn’t just let them disappear unnoticed. Over the 4 to 6 months it takes for the sutures to dissolve, the body actively repairs and restructures the area, reinforcing firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. This process continues even after the threads dissolve, leaving behind stronger, more resilient tissue.

Types of PDO Thread Lift Techniques

PDO thread lifts come in two primary techniques, each designed to achieve different levels of skin rejuvenation:

Smooth Threads (Mesh Technique) – This method involves creating a mesh-like structure beneath the skin using smooth PDO threads. Typically, two sutures are inserted vertically and three horizontally, forming a net-like pattern similar to a hashtag (#). This mesh acts as a scaffold for new collagen production, gradually tightening and rejuvenating the skin without any drastic changes. The results appear naturally over time, enhancing skin texture and firmness from within.

Barbed Threads (Lifting Technique) – This approach delivers a more immediate and noticeable lift. Barbed PDO threads feature tiny hooks or barbs that anchor to the tissue beneath the skin. Once inserted, these threads can be gently pulled in one or two directions, instantly lifting and repositioning sagging skin. Over time, the body naturally produces new collagen around the threads, reinforcing the lift for long-lasting, youthful results.

Both techniques offer effective, non-surgical facial rejuvenation, with the choice depending on the level of lifting and skin tightening desired.

Your Non-Surgical Facelift Results & Expectations

A PDO thread lift enhances sagging skin and redefines mid-face contours through two key mechanisms:

  • Instant Lift – One of the biggest advantages of a thread lift is the immediate lifting effect. Unlike a traditional facelift, which requires invasive surgery and skin removal, PDO threads suspend and reposition the skin for an instant tightening effect. As the sutures are placed, they gently pull the skin upward, restoring a more youthful appearance without the need for extensive downtime.

  • Gradual Volume Enhancement – Beyond the immediate lift, PDO threads also stimulate collagen production and neovascularization, leading to progressive volume restoration. Over time, your skin naturally regenerates, improving elasticity, firmness, and overall contour. This means your results continue to improve for months, revealing a naturally youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Results will vary from person to person, but with PDO threads, you can expect a subtle yet significant transformation that enhances your natural beauty.

How Should You Care for Your Skin After a Thread Lift?

Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and long-lasting results after a PDO thread lift. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Rest and Recovery – While you can move around as needed, it’s important to rest for a full day after your procedure. Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and excessive facial movements for at least three weeks to prevent strain on the threads.

  • Managing Discomfort – Mild soreness or tightness is normal. If needed, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers to stay comfortable during the healing process.

At Hollywood Body & Face, our experts provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you heal properly and achieve the best possible results. Following these guidelines will ensure a smooth recovery and enhance the longevity of your refreshed, lifted appearance.

Larger treatment areas or more complex procedures may increase the price, as will working with highly skilled practitioners.

FAQs

How long does the PDO thread lift last?

Most people enjoy the effects of their thread lift for 18 months or longer. However, once the effects wear off, it is recommended that you schedule another treatment to continue enjoying your more youthful appearance.

Where Can You Use PDO Threads?

Though PDO threads can be used in various areas, they are particularly effective for the neck and jawline, where sagging skin is harder to address with Botox or dermal fillers alone. By lifting and repositioning these delicate areas, PDO threads restore definition and create a naturally youthful contour.

How painful is a thread lift?

During a thread lift, you receive local anesthesia to combat any feelings of discomfort or pain. Afterward, you may experience some mild pain or soreness. You can take over-the-counter pain medication or a prescription pain reliever for several days until the discomfort dissipates.

How many PDO thread sessions do I need?

Patients tend to need between one and four treatments for the best aesthetic results. Most people choose to prolong the effects of their PDO lift with annual maintenance treatments.

Which is better, threads or fillers?

Threads are the best option for lifting and improving sagging skin and general skin laxity concerns. Thread lifts are the best option if you are experiencing some laxity, drooping, or sagging. On the other hand, facial fillers are a good option for addressing fine lines and general volume loss.

Can you feel threads in your face?

The threads are under the skin, so you should not feel them since they are so small. Most people cannot feel their sutures at all once the skin has healed around them. You can speak more about this during your consultation if this is a concern.

PDO Threads

PDO Threads

A PDO thread lift is a technique that tightens and lifts your skin using a dissolvable suture. PDO Threads are a less invasive operation than a facelift, and they can usually be completed within 45 minutes without the use of a scalpel.

A biodegradable polyester suture is used in polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifts. They’re excellent for renewing your skin, while some newer thread lifts are more effective at raising sagging skin.

Let’s look at what distinguishes a PDO from other thread lifts, as well as what to expect during the procedure.

What distinguishes PDO  from others?
PDO threads are one of three popular types of sutures used in thread lift treatments. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone are the other two kinds (PCA).

PDO have been employed in operations since the 1980s and are the oldest of the three. They’re made of a colorless polyester that degrades after around 6 months in your body.

The presence of these sutures in your skin causes fibroblasts, which are cells in your body that create collagen, to produce more. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to your skin. One of the main causes of aging skin is the loss of collagen.

PDO are further classified into three types:

Mono threads made of PDO. Sutures that are smooth and stimulate collagen formation to help revitalize your skin.
Cog threads made of PDO. To offer support and raise areas of your face, these threads include barbs that latch into your skin like miniature fishhooks.
Screw threads made of PDO. These are used to help restore volume to sunken areas of your skin and are made up of one or two interlaced threads.
