PDO Threads for Lift, Tightening & Skin Renewal
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are made from a biocompatible suture material used in medicine for decades. They dissolve over time, but the collagen-building process they initiate can continue as your skin remodels—supporting a more refined, refreshed look.
What are PDO threads?
PDO threads for facial rejuvenation have grown in popularity for good reason: they can support tightening, texture refinement, and subtle repositioning—without changing the essence of your features.
Threads come in different sizes, lengths, and designs. The type we select is guided by your anatomy, goals, and the outcome you want to achieve.
Experience matters
Carla has been treating patients with PDO threads for 5 years—using them to rejuvenate mature skin and support preventative, anti-aging strategies for younger patients.
That experience informs everything: candidacy, thread selection, pattern design, depth, comfort measures, and setting clear expectations—before, during, and after treatment.
Two core thread categories
In simple terms, we think in two families of threads—chosen intentionally based on what your face needs most.
Subtle support, not an overdone change
PDO threads can help create a refined lift in the right patient, especially when the goal is elegant support rather than dramatic alteration.
Collagen remodeling over time
As threads dissolve, your skin continues the rebuilding process—helping improve firmness, structure, and overall tissue quality.
Customized to your anatomy
Treatment planning is based on facial structure, skin quality, and goals so the result feels balanced, natural, and tailored to you.
What to expect
Treatment is performed in-office with a focus on comfort and precision. You may have temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising afterward, and detailed aftercare is reviewed with you before you leave.
Most patients return to normal routines quickly, but healing expectations depend on the type and placement of threads used.
Who is a good candidate?
The best candidates typically want a subtle lift or tightening effect without surgery and have tissue quality that can support thread placement.
