PDO Threads
About PDO Threads
PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift, support, and rejuvenate areas of the face and body experiencing skin laxity. This advanced procedure offers a non-surgical option for patients who want noticeable tightening and contour improvement without the downtime or commitment of surgery.
As collagen and elasticity naturally decline with age, skin can begin to sag or lose definition, particularly along the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows. PDO threads provide immediate structural support while also encouraging long-term skin rejuvenation.
Patients often choose PDO threads because they create a refreshed, natural-looking lift while maintaining facial expression and individuality. The treatment can be used on its own or combined with other aesthetic services to enhance overall results and support healthy aging.
How They Work
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are carefully placed beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once positioned, the threads act as a supportive framework that gently lifts and repositions tissue for an immediate tightening effect. Over time, the threads stimulate the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen production around the treatment area. As new collagen forms, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more supported, even after the threads naturally dissolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
PDO thread treatments are performed using local numbing to keep patients comfortable throughout the procedure. Most people describe feeling pressure or mild pulling rather than pain.
