PDO threads offer a considered alternative to surgery for guests who want a firmer, more defined contour. Using dissolvable polydioxanone sutures, the treatment repositions the skin while encouraging the body to build new collagen. The result is quiet and progressive rather than dramatic.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin through fine cannulas or needles. Barbed threads provide a mechanical lift by anchoring and repositioning tissue, while smooth threads stimulate a controlled wound-healing response that increases collagen and elastin over the following weeks. The polydioxanone dissolves gradually over several months, leaving behind the newly formed structural support. Treatment is typically performed with local anesthetic and takes under an hour.
The details
What to know
Threads are well suited to mild to moderate laxity along the lower face, jawline, cheeks, brows, and neck. They can soften the appearance of jowls and restore a more defined jaw contour. Because the effect relies on repositioning existing tissue, threads work best as a refinement rather than a replacement for surgical correction of significant sagging.
Questions
Frequently asked
Discomfort is generally mild. We use a local anesthetic so the placement itself is well tolerated, and any soreness afterward is usually manageable and short-lived.
