PDO Thread Face Lift Specialist

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.
