A thread lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift your skin. It’s a less invasive procedure than facelift surgery.
Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifts use a biodegradable polyester suture. They’re best suited for rejuvenating your skin while some newer types of thread lifts are better at lifting sagging skin.
PDO threads have been around the longest of the three and have been used in surgeries since the 1980s. They’re made from a colorless polyester that breaks down in your body after about 6 months. The presence of these sutures in your skin triggers cells in your body called fibroblasts to produce more collagen. Collagen is the protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity. Loss of collagen is one of the main causes of aging skin.
PDO threads can be further divided into three categories:
- PDO mono threads. Smooth sutures that help rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production.
- PDO cog threads. These threads have barbs that latch into your skin like small fishhooks, to provide support and lift parts of your face.
- PDO screw threads. Made up of one or two intertwined threads, these are used to help restore volume to sunken parts of your skin.

It is a unique technique which has proven its safety and effectiveness, PDO therapy helps to cope with the signs of aging on the neck. It must be mentioned that only trained professionals can conduct neck rejuvenation with PDO thread lift.

PDO Threads give the illusion of improvement by slightly changing the diameter of the nose by a few millimeters—for some patients, this is all they need or want—with little downtime. They can potentially rotate the nose and upturn the tip temporarily. They can also smooth the bridge by moving around tissue for a thinnerlooking nose. But can’t conceal humps and bumps or change the shape or structure of the nose like rhinoplasty.

Small threads are VOLUMIZING and when inserted in a mash pattern provide a collagen scaffold. Ideal for neck loose skin, accordion smile lines, and around the mouth for lift and support.
