How PDO Threads Lift Without Surgery

If you want to lift and tighten your skin without surgery, PDO threads offer a powerful, minimally invasive solution. This treatment provides instant lifting and long-term collagen stimulation for a more youthful, defined look. At VIVE Medical Spa, PDO thread lifts are customized for your unique facial structure, helping you achieve natural, long-lasting results — all without scars or downtime.

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade sutures that have been used safely for decades in surgical procedures. When placed beneath the skin, these dissolvable threads create a gentle lift that repositions sagging tissue. As they dissolve over time, they trigger collagen production — the protein responsible for firmness and elasticity. The result is a tighter, smoother, and more contoured appearance that improves gradually for months after treatment.

How PDO Threads Lift the Skin

Unlike traditional facelifts, PDO threads don’t require incisions or general anesthesia. The procedure uses fine threads inserted just beneath the skin to gently pull and anchor tissues upward. Once in place, they instantly lift drooping areas, such as the cheeks, jowls, or jawline. Over the following weeks, your body builds new collagen around the threads, which supports the lift even after the threads naturally dissolve. The dual action — immediate lift plus long-term regeneration — makes PDO threads a powerful anti-aging solution.

Areas Commonly Treated with PDO Threads

PDO threads can be used in many facial and neck areas. Some of the most popular include:

• Cheeks and midface
• Jawline and jowls
• Eyebrow lift
• Nasolabial folds
• Neck tightening
• Marionette lines
  Because they come in different sizes and types, PDO threads can be tailored to provide subtle refinement or noticeable lifting depending on your goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

The procedure is quick, comfortable, and requires little downtime. After applying a local anesthetic, our specialists insert the threads using fine needles or cannulas. You may feel mild pressure but no pain. The entire session typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. Afterward, you can resume most normal activities the same day. Mild swelling or tightness is normal for a few days and fades quickly, leaving your skin looking firmer and lifted.

The Long-Term Benefits of PDO Threads

PDO thread lifts not only reposition sagging skin but also stimulate collagen over several months. As collagen builds, the skin becomes thicker, tighter, and more elastic. You’ll notice gradual improvement in firmness, texture, and contour even after the threads dissolve. Results can last up to 18 months, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. Many patients combine PDO threads with treatments like Botox or fillers for enhanced results.
