PDO thread lifts for non-surgical face and neck lifting. Immediate lift with progressive collagen stimulation.
Thread lifts offer a non-surgical alternative to facelift surgery for patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. The procedure involves inserting absorbable threads under the skin using fine needles, which provide immediate mechanical lifting while stimulating long-term collagen production around the thread scaffold.
Thread materials matter: Not all threads are equal. The three main materials used in modern thread lifts have different collagen-stimulating capacities and longevity:
PDO (Polydioxanone): The most established material. Dissolves in 6–8 months, with moderate collagen stimulation maintaining results for 9–12 months. PDO is the workhorse for most thread lift procedures.
PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid): A newer option with significantly higher collagen stimulation than PDO. Dissolves in 12–18 months, with results lasting 12–24 months. The same material used in Sculptra dermal filler, known for its powerful collagen-building properties.
PCL (Polycaprolactone): The newest and longest-lasting material. Dissolves in 18–24 months, with the highest collagen stimulation of all three materials. Results can last 2+ years. Ideal for patients wanting maximum longevity.
Thread types: Mono threads (smooth) create a collagen-stimulating mesh for skin tightening. Screw/tornado threads (intertwined) restore volume. Cog threads (barbed) have bidirectional barbs that physically hook under tissue, providing the strongest mechanical lift — these are used for jowls, midface, and neck.
Thread lifts are particularly effective for mid-face lifting, jowl reduction, neck lifting, jawline definition, and brow elevation. Our doctors' surgical training ensures precise thread placement along anatomically safe vectors, avoiding vital structures while maximizing the lifting effect.
