How PDO Thread Lifts Work

As we age, gravity, collagen loss, and skin laxity can soften facial contours and diminish the youthful V-shape of the face. PDO thread lifts help counter these changes by providing immediate support while encouraging long-term skin renewal. PDO thread lifts are designed to:

Support Your Natural Structure

Temporary sutures gently reposition and support underlying tissues to restore definition. Lift and Rejuvenate Loose or sagging skin is subtly lifted for a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

Stimulate Collagen Over Time

As the threads dissolve over 4–6 months, they trigger collagen production - improving skin firmness, tone, and texture well beyond the initial lift. Results typically last 1–3 years, depending on your skin quality, age, and lifestyle.

Other collagen-inducing treatments.
