What Is a PDO Thread Lift?
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Your provider will begin with a consultation to review your goals, medical history and which areas may benefit. On treatment day, the skin is cleansed and numbed with a topical or local anesthetic, and the threads are placed through a fine needle or cannula. Most appointments are relatively short, and many clients return to normal activities quickly. Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness or a feeling of tightness are commonly reported for several days, and your provider may suggest limiting facial movements, sleeping on your back and avoiding strenuous exercise or dental work for a period afterward. Results develop gradually as swelling settles and collagen builds, and they are not permanent; PDO threads dissolve over several months, so many clients choose to repeat treatment as part of a longer-term plan. Individual results may vary.
Is It Safe, and Who Is a Good Candidate?
PDO threads have a long history in medical use, and threading is generally considered a low-downtime procedure when performed by a trained, licensed provider. Like any procedure, it carries risks, which can include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, dimpling, visible threads, infection or discomfort, and your provider will review these with you before you decide. Good candidates are typically adults with mild to moderate sagging who want a modest lift without surgery. Threading may not be appropriate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, a bleeding or autoimmune condition, or a tendency toward keloid scarring, so a thorough health review is an important first step. If your goals call for dramatic tightening, your provider can also talk with you about other options, such as Ultherapy or dermal fillers, that may be a better fit.

Cost and Your Next Step
The cost of PDO threading depends on the number and type of threads used, the areas treated and your personalized treatment plan, so we do not quote a one-size-fits-all price. The best way to find out whether threading is right for you, and what it would involve, is to meet with one of our providers.
