Lift, Without the Knife
A minimally invasive alternative to surgical lifting, customized to your anatomy, your goals, and your timeline.
A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift, support, and reposition soft tissue while stimulating collagen production. This treatment improves facial contour, softens laxity, and enhances overall skin quality for a more lifted, refined appearance over time. Treatment is customized based on your anatomy and goals, with varying levels of lift and support achieved through strategic thread placement. Results develop over time as collagen is stimulated. Number of threads and treatment areas vary by individual.
Thread Lift Levels
Level 1
Subtle lift in a targeted area using a smaller number of threads.
Level 2
Moderate lift treating multiple areas with increased support.
Level 3
Comprehensive lift using a higher number of threads for advanced laxity and full-face rejuvenation.

Before & After
5 week post Level 2 Lift -- Treatment by Kat Nguyen, RN, BSN, Lead Injector
What to Expect
Treatment begins with customized mapping of the treatment area, followed by tumescent numbing for comfort. Fine cog PDO threads are then placed beneath the skin using a thin cannula or needle to lift and support the treated area. You may feel mild pulling, tightness, or pressure during placement. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas is common and typically resolves within a few days to two weeks, depending on the level of treatment. Initial lift is visible right away, with continued improvement as collagen builds over the following weeks to months.

Pre / Post Care
Pre: Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and NSAIDs for 5–7 days before treatment if possible. Hydrate well with water for days leading up to treatment. Plan for some visible swelling and bruising in the days following, and avoid scheduling close to major events.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results from a PDO Thread Lift?
Some lift is visible immediately after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks to months as collagen production is stimulated. Most clients see optimal results within 2–3 months.
How long do results last?
Results vary by individual and the level of treatment received, but typically last 12–18 months as the threads gradually absorb while stimulating longer-lasting collagen production. Your provider can discuss maintenance options at your consultation.
