PDO Thread Lift (Polydioxanone Thread Lift) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin using biodegradable threads.

  • Procedure

    Fine threads made of PDO (a material used in surgical sutures) are inserted into the skin using a cannula or needle.

  • Mechanism

    • Provides an immediate lifting effect.

    • Stimulates collagen production around the threads, which improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity over time.

  • Dissolution

    The threads dissolve naturally in the body over 4–6 months, but results can last 12–18 months or more.

  • Common Treatment Areas

    • Jawline

    • Cheeks

    • Neck

Benefits of PDO Thread Lift

This minimally invasive treatment uses a dissolvable suture material called polydiaxone to lift and tighten facial features. Depending on which types of threads, this can last up to 6 – 9 months then eventually it dissolves. But with the formation of collagen, the lifting and rejuvenation last up to a year.

PDO Thread Lift offers a balanced option between injectables and full surgery, combining lifting, tightening, and rejuvenation in one treatment. It’s best considered as part of a holistic anti-aging plan, often combined with other services like fillers, Botox, or laser therapy depending on your goals.

🌿 PDO Thread Lift Aftercare Guide

  • ✅ Sleep on your back with head elevated for 3–5 nights.

    ✅ Apply a cold compress for swelling (10 mins per hour if needed).

    ✅ Stick to gentle skincare—cleanser and light moisturiser only for 48 hours.

    ✅ Eat soft foods if jawline or cheek areas were treated.

  • 🚫 Touching, massaging, or manipulating treated areas.

    🚫 Facial treatments, dental visits, or intense facial expressions (e.g. laughing, chewing gum).

    🚫 Heavy exercise, sauna, hot showers, or swimming.

    🚫 Sleeping on your side or stomach.

  • 🧴 Be gentle for the first 5–7 days – avoid scrubs, peels, or active ingredients like retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and Vitamin C.

    🧴 Use a mild, hydrating cleanser and apply a fragrance-free moisturiser to keep the skin calm and nourished.

    🧴 Apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily, even indoors, to protect collagen formation and prevent pigmentation.

    🧴 Avoid facial tools (jade rollers, gua sha, cleansing brushes) for at least 2 weeks.

    🧴 Support collagen by staying hydrated, eating antioxidant-rich foods, and considering a collagen supplement if advised.

  • ❗ Excessive or worsening swelling beyond 5–7 days

    ❗ Redness, warmth, or pain that increases (may signal infection)

    ❗ Thread visibility, extrusion, or dimpling that worsens

    ❗ Numbness or tingling that doesn’t improve

    ❗ Bleeding or pus from the entry points

    ❗ Any reaction you’re unsure about—it’s always better to check in
