PDO THREAD LIFT
PDO Threads in Lake Mary
A subtle lift, without a scalpel
Dissolvable PDO threads lift and support the jawline, neck and lower face, then encourage collagen as they absorb.
Overview
What is PDO Threads?
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that places fine, dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone under the skin with a thin cannula or needle. Lifting threads gently reposition sagging tissue, while smooth threads support skin texture. As the threads dissolve over about six months, they stimulate collagen. Results typically last around one year or more.

30 to 60 minutes
Downtime
Most clients return to normal activities within 1 to 3 days; swelling can last up to 2 weeks
Sessions
Lifting threads: usually one; smooth threads: 1 to 3, 4 to 6 weeks apart

Your visit
What should I expect?
01
Consultation
Your provider assesses skin laxity and decides whether lifting threads, smooth threads or a combination suit you. Threads work best for mild to moderate sagging and are not a substitute for surgery.
02
Treatment
The area is cleansed and numbed with local anesthetic. Threads are placed through tiny entry points with a fine cannula. Most sessions take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of threads.
03
Aftercare
Expect swelling, tenderness, bruising or mild puckering for several days up to two weeks. Avoid wide mouth opening, facial massage, strenuous exercise and sleeping on your face for about two weeks.
Results
When will I see results?
Lifting threads create a visible change right after treatment, though swelling can mask it at first. Over the next four to six weeks, the result settles and collagen begins to build around the threads. The threads dissolve within about six months, while the collagen response continues. Most clients see results that last about a year, and some longer. Individual results vary.
What are PDO threads made of?
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a dissolvable material that has been used in surgical sutures for decades. The threads are absorbed by the body over about six months. As they dissolve, they trigger a healing response that encourages new collagen in the treated area. No thread material remains long term.
How long do PDO thread results last?
Most clients see results that last about twelve months, and some see longer, especially with good skincare and sun protection. The threads themselves dissolve within about six months, but the collagen they stimulate remains. Results depend on your age, skin quality and the type and number of threads used.
Does a PDO thread lift hurt?
The area is numbed with local anesthetic, so most clients feel pressure and pulling rather than sharp pain. Afterward, tenderness and soreness are common for several days, especially when chewing or moving the jaw. Your provider will discuss comfort measures and what is normal during healing.
What is the downtime after PDO threads?
Most clients return to daily activities within one to three days. Swelling, bruising and mild puckering can last up to two weeks. For about two weeks, avoid wide mouth opening, dental work, facial massage, strenuous exercise and sleeping on your face. Your provider will give you written aftercare.
Are PDO threads a replacement for a facelift?
No. Threads are best for mild to moderate sagging and for clients who want a subtle lift without surgery. They cannot remove excess skin or match the extent of a surgical facelift. Your provider will tell you honestly whether threads, another treatment or a referral is the better route.
