PDO Thread Lift: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening and Lifting
Lift, Tighten, and Rejuvenate Without Surgery
If you want to restore a youthful, lifted appearance without the downtime or invasiveness of surgery, PDO threads may be the perfect solution. At BotoxxCafé, we specialize in PDO thread lifts, a minimally invasive treatment that uses dissolvable sutures to lift sagging skin, improve firmness, and stimulate collagen production for long-lasting results.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a safe, biocompatible material that has been used for decades in surgical sutures. When inserted under the skin, these threads:
Create an immediate lifting effect by repositioning sagging tissue
Trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production (neocollagenesis)
Gradually dissolve over several months, leaving behind a fresh network of collagen for firmer, tighter skin
The result? A natural, refreshed look that continues to improve for months after your treatment.
Types of PDO Threads
At BotoxxCafé, we customize thread treatments to your unique goals:
Smooth Threads: Perfect for building collagen and creating a fuller, smoother appearance in areas with fine lines or crepey skin.
Barbed Threads: Designed for lifting and repositioning sagging tissue in the cheeks, jawline, neck, and other areas.
PDO threads can also be used on the body, including the abdomen, upper arms, and even breasts, to provide subtle lift and tightening.
Treatment Experience
Procedure Time: 30–70 minutes depending on the area treated (includes numbing time).
Comfort: A local anesthetic is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Downtime: Most patients return to normal activities the same day, though mild swelling or bruising may last 24–48 hours.
When Will I See Results?
PDO threads provide immediate lifting results, with continued improvement as your collagen production increases over the following weeks. Most patients see their best results by 8–12 weeks, with skin appearing firmer, plumper, and more youthful.
Results typically last 12–24 months, depending on the type of threads used, your skin quality, and your body’s natural collagen production.
Safety & Side Effects
PDO thread lifts are considered very safe, with far fewer risks than traditional facelift surgery. Mild side effects may include swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which usually resolve within a few days. Rare complications — such as visible sutures or skin dimpling — are uncommon and can often be corrected.
