Lift and Tighten Sagging Skin
The PDO thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin using dissolvable, medical-grade threads. These threads, made of polydioxanone (PDO), stimulate collagen production as they dissolve, creating a natural lifting effect and firmer skin over time. The procedure effectively addresses common signs of aging, such as drooping cheeks, loose skin around the jawline, fine lines, and nasolabial folds. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, the PDO thread lift offers a convenient solution for those seeking subtle, rejuvenating enhancements to their facial contours.

How Does a PDO Thread Lift Work?
The PDO thread lift uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are biocompatible and safely absorbed by the body. During the procedure, these threads are inserted into targeted areas beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect. As the PDO threads dissolve over several months, they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, promoting firmer, tighter skin and lasting structural support. Collagen, a vital protein for skin elasticity and strength, replenishes areas prone to sagging and wrinkles, resulting in a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.
What Happens During Your PDO Thread Lift?
During your PDO thread lift in Sarasota, a skilled dermatologist will numb the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Using a thin, fine needle or cannula, they’ll carefully insert PDO threads beneath your skin to achieve a lifting effect. Each thread is strategically placed to provide support, lift your facial skin, and stimulate collagen in targeted areas. The procedure takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.

- Safe, biocompatible PDO threads gradually absorbed by the body

PDO Thread Lift FAQs
What Is the Downtime After a PDO Thread Lift?
Most people experience minimal downtime after a PDO thread lift. You may notice mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas for a few days, but these effects typically subside quickly. Many patients return to daily activities within 24-48 hours.
What Aftercare Should I Follow?
After your PDO thread lift, avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and excessive facial movements for 1-2 weeks. Sleep on your back to minimize pressure on the treated area, and avoid touching or massaging your face to allow the threads to settle properly.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, and tenderness, which usually subside within a week. Rarely, there may be minor irregularities or puckering of the skin, but these are temporary and resolve as the threads integrate with the tissue.
When Will I See the Results From My PDO Thread Lift?
You’ll notice an immediate lifting effect after your treatment, though the results will continue to improve as collagen production increases over the next few months. The full results typically develop within 3-6 months as collagen builds around the threads.
How Long Do PDO Thread Lift Results Last?
The results of a PDO thread lift can last 12-18 months, depending on your skin’s natural aging process, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Maintenance treatments every year or so can help extend the longevity of your lift.
Is a PDO Thread Lift Painful?
A PDO thread lift is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, making it relatively painless. Some patients feel slight pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
