What Are They?

PDO threads (polydioxanone threads) are dissolvable sutures placed under the skin to gently lift and tighten sagging tissue and stimulate collagen. They are made from a material that has been used safely in medical sutures for many years and are gradually broken down by the body. 

How Do They Work?

Fine threads are carefully placed beneath the skin, depending on the type of thread used they can, stimulate collagen production, improve skin firmness and elasticity, improve skin texture and fine lines, and/or provide a subtle lifting effect. As the PDO threads gradually dissolve, typically over several months, they encourage the body to produce new collagen, which can help improve the skin's appearance over time.

  • Mid‑face - elevates the cheeks, restores youthful contour, and reduces heaviness

  • Jawline - improves definition and reduces early jowling

  • Lower face - supports marionette lines and softens sagging

  • Neck - tightens laxity and improves skin firmness

  • Brows - provides a subtle brow lift and opens the eye area

  • Décolletage - improve fine lines, texture, and overall firmness

Treatment Areas:

Before Your Treatment

You'll have a consultation where you'll be asked to fill out a form detailing your:

  • Medical history

  • Medication or supplement use

  • Allergies

  • Previous treatments

  • Current skin condition

You can complete this form in the clinic or in advance by clicking Health Form at the top of this page.

Common Side Effects

These are temporary and may include:

  • Swelling - for the first few days as tissue adjusts

  • Bruising - varies by individual; may take 1-2 weeks to fully resolve

  • Tenderness - mild to moderate discomfort along the thread path

  • Redness - inflammation around entry points

  • Tightness or pulling sensation - expected as threads anchor and begin lifting

  • Small lumps or nodules - usually temporary and related to thread positioning

  • Asymmetry during settling - normal while swelling reduces and threads integrate

  • Mild dimpling - caused by tissue engagement; typically resolves as skin relaxes

When Will I See Results?

Some improvement my be visible soon after treatment, but collagen stiumlation takes time, so results continue to develop over the following weeks and months.

How Long Do They Last?

This varies depending on the type of threads used, the treatment area and the individual. The threads themselves dissolve, while the collagen-stimulating effects may last longer.
