PDO Thread Face Lift Specialist for Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is a natural part of aging, but it does not mean surgery is your only option. At Aesthetic Lab, we specialize in PDO thread lift treatments for sagging skin, offering a non-surgical facelift that lifts, tightens, and rejuvenates the face without incisions or general anesthesia. Our expert providers perform PDO thread facelifts at our medical spa locations in Modesto, Stockton, and Turlock, serving patients throughout the Central Valley, Sacramento area, Bay Area, and Northern California.

Many patients travel from the Sacramento region and Bay Area to Aesthetic Lab for PDO thread lifts because of our experience with advanced non-surgical facial rejuvenation and natural-looking results.

What Is a PDO Thread Facelift?

A polydioxanone (PDO) thread facelift is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that lifts and tightens sagging skin using dissolvable sutures placed beneath the surface of the skin. Unlike a surgical facelift, a PDO thread lift does not involve large incisions, scarring, or extended downtime.

PDO thread facelifts are commonly used to address sagging and laxity in areas such as:

  • Cheeks
  • Jawline
  • Neck
  • Eye and brow area


This treatment provides both immediate lifting and long-term collagen stimulation, making it a popular choice at medical spas throughout Northern California.

How PDO Threads Improve Sagging Skin

PDO threads work in two powerful ways. First, they mechanically lift and reposition sagging tissue for immediate improvement. Second, as the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This collagen response helps strengthen the skin, improve elasticity, and maintain results long after the threads have been absorbed.

This dual-action approach makes PDO threads an effective solution for non-surgical skin tightening and facial lifting.

Benefits of a PDO Thread Lift

A PDO thread facelift offers many advantages for patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation, including:

PDO Thread Lift vs. Surgical Facelift

A PDO thread lift is ideal for patients with mild to moderate sagging who want noticeable improvement without surgery. While a surgical facelift provides dramatic results, it requires incisions, anesthesia, and a longer recovery. PDO threads offer a non-surgical alternative with far less downtime, making them a popular choice for patients in the Central Valley, Sacramento area, and Bay Area who want effective results with minimal disruption.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a PDO Thread Facelift?

You may be a good candidate for a PDO thread lift if you:

  • Have mild to moderate sagging skin
  • Notice jowling or loss of jawline definition
  • Want to lift and tighten skin without surgery
  • Are no longer satisfied with Botox or fillers alone
  • Prefer a non-surgical medical spa treatment
  • Are in good overall health

During your consultation at Aesthetic Lab, our medical spa providers will evaluate your skin quality, facial anatomy, and aesthetic goals to determine if PDO threads are right for you.

What to Expect During a PDO Thread Facelift

A PDO thread facelift is performed as an in-office procedure and typically takes about one hour. Before treatment, your provider will design a personalized plan and review it with you.

During the procedure:

  • The skin is cleansed and prepped
  • PDO threads are inserted into the subdermal layer
  • The threads gently lift and support sagging skin


Patients from Modesto, Stockton, Turlock, Sacramento, and the Bay Area appreciate the convenience of this quick, minimally invasive treatment.

Recovery, Downtime and Results

After a PDO thread facelift, you may experience mild soreness, swelling, or redness at the insertion sites. These effects are temporary, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Immediate lifting is visible, with continued improvement over time as collagen production increases.

Results can last several months to over a year, depending on skin quality, age, and lifestyle.

Kybella FAQS

A PDO (polydioxanone) thread facelift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. Instead of using incisions like a traditional surgical facelift, PDO threads are carefully placed beneath the skin to provide immediate structural support. Over time, these dissolvable threads also stimulate collagen production, helping to improve skin firmness, texture, and elasticity. PDO thread facelifts are commonly used to lift the cheeks, jawline, neck, and eye area, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance without surgery or extensive downtime.

Yes. A PDO thread lift is a medical aesthetic procedure and must be performed by a licensed medical professional in a clinical setting. At Aesthetic Lab, PDO thread facelifts are performed in a professional medical spa environment by experienced providers serving patients from Modesto, Stockton, Turlock, the Central Valley, Sacramento area, and the Bay Area. This ensures proper technique, safety, and natural-looking results.

You may be a good candidate for a PDO thread facelift if you have mild to moderate sagging skin, early jowling, or loss of jawline definition and want noticeable improvement without surgery. PDO threads are especially effective for patients who no longer see optimal results from Botox or dermal fillers alone, but who are not ready for a surgical facelift. During your consultation at Aesthetic Lab, your provider will evaluate your skin quality, facial anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine if PDO threads are the right treatment for you.

Yes. PDO threads are frequently used to lift sagging skin along the jawline and lower face, helping to restore a more defined and contoured appearance. By repositioning loose tissue and stimulating collagen production, PDO threads can significantly improve jawline structure and reduce the appearance of jowls. Many patients from the Central Valley, Sacramento region, and Bay Area choose PDO threads specifically for jawline rejuvenation without surgery.

PDO threads lift and support sagging skin while also triggering the body’s natural collagen response. While the threads themselves provide immediate tightening, collagen production continues over time, helping to improve skin firmness and elasticity. This makes PDO threads an effective option for non-surgical skin tightening in patients with early to moderate skin laxity.

PDO thread lift results typically last several months to over a year, depending on factors such as age, skin quality, lifestyle, and the type of threads used. While the threads dissolve naturally, the collagen they stimulate helps maintain firmness and structure beyond the lifespan of the threads themselves. Some patients choose periodic maintenance treatments to extend their results.

Most patients tolerate PDO thread lifts very well. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, making the procedure comfortable. You may feel pressure or mild tugging during thread placement, followed by temporary soreness or tightness afterward. These sensations typically resolve within a few days.

Downtime after a PDO thread facelift is minimal. Most patients are able to return to work and daily activities the same day. Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur at the insertion sites, but these effects are temporary. Your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive facial movements for a short period to allow the threads to properly settle.

Yes. PDO thread lifts are commonly combined with other medical spa treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, skin tightening procedures, or facial balancing treatments. Combining treatments can enhance overall facial rejuvenation and create more comprehensive, long-lasting results. Your provider at Aesthetic Lab will customize a treatment plan based on your individual needs.

You will typically notice immediate lifting and tightening after your PDO thread facelift. Over the following weeks and months, results continue to improve as collagen production increases. This gradual enhancement is one of the reasons PDO threads are a popular non-surgical facelift option.

A PDO thread facelift is an excellent non-surgical alternative for patients with mild to moderate sagging, but it does not replace a surgical facelift for severe skin laxity. Your provider will help determine whether PDO threads, surgery, or a combination of treatments is best for your goals.
