Achieve a rejuvenated, youthful appearance with a PDO thread lift at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Tempe, AZ. This non-surgical treatment lifts and tightens sagging skin, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial contours, offering a natural, refreshed look. Ideal for addressing skin laxity, fine lines, and drooping features, PDO thread lifts restore vitality effectively.

Lift and tighten sagging skin

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses absorbable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin, improving facial contours without surgery. The threads, made from polydioxanone (PDO), are inserted under the skin to stimulate collagen production, resulting in natural, long-lasting firmness and rejuvenation. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind enhanced structure and elasticity. Ideal for areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows, PDO thread lifts offer subtle yet noticeable improvements for those seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance without extensive downtime.

PDO thread lift treats:

  • Sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, and neck
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Drooping brows
  • Marionette lines around the mouth
  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Loose skin on the neck and jowls
  • Early signs of aging and skin laxity
  • Uneven facial contours

How does PDO thread lift work?

A PDO thread lift works by using biocompatible polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are carefully inserted beneath the skin’s surface using a fine needle. Once in place, these threads provide immediate support to lift and contour sagging skin. Over time, the PDO threads naturally dissolve, triggering the body’s healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, essential proteins for skin elasticity and firmness. As the threads break down, newly formed collagen supports the skin, creating a gradual, lasting lift that improves skin texture, tightness, and overall facial structure.

Benefits of PDO thread lift:

  • Non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure
  • Immediate lifting and contouring results

What happens during the PDO thread lift?

During your PDO thread lift, a trained specialist will apply a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Then, fine PDO threads are gently inserted beneath your skin using a thin needle, strategically placed to lift and contour specific areas. You may feel slight pressure, but the process is typically comfortable. The threads provide immediate support to sagging skin and stimulate collagen production for lasting effects. The procedure is quick and usually completed within an hour, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal downtime.

Recovery: side effects, downtime, aftercare

After your PDO thread lift, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas—these side effects should subside within a few days. Downtime is minimal, allowing most people to resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. For optimal results, avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and touching or massaging the treated area for at least a week. Following aftercare guidelines, such as applying cold compresses and keeping your head elevated, can ensure your skin heals smoothly.

Results: onset, longevity, frequency

With a PDO thread lift, you’ll notice an immediate lift and improved contour, with full results appearing gradually as collagen builds over the next 2 to 3 months. This natural collagen boost enhances skin’s firmness and elasticity, creating a long-lasting youthful appearance. The results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on skin type, age, and lifestyle. For prolonged benefits, you may consider periodic maintenance treatments every 12 to 18 months.
