A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive technique that involves inserting dissolvable threads just beneath the skin's surface. This provides immediate lifting effects and promotes collagen production over time, leading to firmer skin.
PDO, short for polydioxanone, is a dissolvable material frequently used in surgical sutures. Occasionally, you might come across a threading procedure referred to as a “sugar lift,” because PDO threads are composed of long chains of polysaccharide (or sugar).
These threads feature tiny micro-extensions known as “barbs” or cones, allowing them to attach securely to the tissue for effective lifting or pulling.
When positioned properly, the threads can yield subtle, naturally appearing results, enhancing a youthful look—especially in areas such as the midface, lower face, under the chin, and along the jawline.
The thread lift procedure provides an immediate subtle lift, but the most notable improvement occurs in the months that follow. Over the next 4-6 months, the threads will dissolve, prompting the body to generate its own collagen, which eventually replaces the threads. It is suggested to repeat the treatment 6 months after the initial placement and then as necessary.
