PDO (polydioxanone) threads are fine, biocompatible sutures widely used in medical procedures worldwide. When precisely inserted beneath the skin using a thin needle or cannula, the threads physically anchor and lift the tissue — restoring the upward position of the cheeks, jowls, brows, and neck that gradually descends with age.

Beyond the immediate mechanical lift, the threads trigger a sustained collagen stimulation response as they slowly dissolve over six months. This means the skin continues to tighten, firm, and improve in texture even after the threads themselves have been fully absorbed. The combined effect of the physical lift and ongoing collagen production can produce visible results lasting up to one year or more.

Thread lifts are a highly effective option for patients who are beginning to notice sagging and loss of definition in the mid-face, jawline, or neck — and who want meaningful improvement without the downtime, risks, or permanence of surgical intervention. They are also frequently combined with neurotoxins, fillers, and laser treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
