PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive skin-tightening and lifting procedure designed to address sagging skin and early signs of aging. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, this treatment does not require large incisions. Instead, ultra-fine, biocompatible threads are gently placed beneath the skin using small needles. These threads are strategically positioned to lift and support lax tissue while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, helping to improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

PDO thread lifts are ideal for individuals looking to improve facial laxity, wrinkles, and loss of definition—particularly in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and under the chin. Most candidates fall between the ages of 30 and 65, though suitability is determined during consultation based on skin condition and treatment goals.

Results are visible immediately following the procedure, though they may appear slightly more pronounced during the first few weeks as the threads and surrounding tissue settle. Some patients may benefit from a maintenance treatment approximately 3–4 months after the initial procedure, with optional annual touch-ups to sustain results. Not all patients will require additional treatments.

PDO smooth threads are designed to improve overall skin quality rather than provide lifting. These threads work by tightening and smoothing the skin while stimulating collagen and other structural proteins, helping to enhance tone, texture, and elasticity. They are especially effective for patients with mild skin laxity who are seeking a refreshed, firmer appearance without added volume.

Smooth threads are commonly used in areas with thin, delicate, or crepey skin, including the under-eye area, cheek hollows, upper lip, under the chin, and around the mouth. They offer an excellent alternative to dermal fillers for skin tightening, without the risk of filler migration or an overfilled look.

Unlike lifting threads, results from smooth threads develop gradually. Improvements typically become noticeable after about four weeks, with optimal results appearing around three to four months as the threads dissolve and collagen production increases.

This is one of our most popular treatments, particularly for the under-eye area. A consultation is recommended to determine whether under-eye bags are suitable for PDO smooth thread treatment.
