What Are PDO Threads?

If you have been exploring non-surgical options to refresh and tighten your skin, you may have come across the term PDO threads. Many people wonder what PDO thread treatment is and how it can help achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery. At Park City Medesthetix, PDO thread lifts are one of our most popular treatments for patients who want noticeable results with minimal downtime.
What Exactly Are PDO Threads?
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a safe, absorbable material that has been used in medical sutures for decades. In aesthetics, these fine threads are placed just beneath the skin to gently lift and support sagging tissue. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve, but the benefits remain as your body produces new collagen and elastin.
A PDO thread lift is often described as a non-surgical facelift because it repositions skin, restores contour, and gives you a firmer, more refreshed look without invasive surgery.
How the Treatment Works
During your appointment, a numbing agent is applied to keep you comfortable. Then, very thin threads are inserted under the skin using a fine cannula. The number of threads depends on the treatment area and your individual goals.
Results are visible immediately after the procedure and continue to improve over the following months as your skin builds new collagen. Most clients enjoy the benefits of the PDO thread lift for up to a year.
Benefits of PDO Threads
Clients love this treatment because it delivers noticeable results without long recovery times. The key benefits of PDO threads include:
- Immediate lifting of sagging skin
- Natural collagen stimulation for long-term improvement
- Minimal downtime compared to surgery
- Can be performed on both the face and the body
- Subtle, natural-looking enhancement
For areas like the under eyes, we also offer the Under Eye Revamp, which uses PDO threads along with advanced therapies to restore delicate skin.
PDO Threads for Face and Body
Most people think of PDO threads for facial rejuvenation, but they can also be used to tighten skin on other areas of the body. With our PDO threadlift body treatment, we can target areas such as the abdomen, arms, or thighs where skin laxity may be a concern.
Whether you want to improve jowls, lift the brows, or firm skin on the body, PDO threads are versatile enough to address multiple concerns.
What to Expect After Treatment
One of the main reasons people choose a non-surgical facelift with PDO threads is the minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days, but most clients return to normal activities quickly. Unlike surgical facelifts, there are no large incisions or lengthy recovery periods.
Results continue to improve as collagen builds, giving you a natural, refreshed look that develops over time.
