Pdo Thread Lifts

Lift. Tighten. Restore.
Subtle structure without surgery.

Overview

PDO thread treatments offer a minimally invasive solution for lifting and tightening aging or lax skin — without surgery or extended downtime.
At UPLIFT, PDO (polydioxanone) threads are strategically placed beneath the skin to provide immediate structural support while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time. The result is a subtle, natural lift with progressive skin tightening and improved firmness.
Thread treatments are ideal for patients seeking contour enhancement and rejuvenation without the commitment of surgical intervention.

Biostimulators can safely treat:

  • Midface (cheeks)
  • Jawline

  • Nasolabial folds

In some cases, threads can also improve:

How Do Pdo Threads Work

Pdo threads are dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone — a material safely used in medicine for decades.  They work in two ways:

They work in two ways :

  • Mechanical Lift

Threads are placed beneath the skin to gently reposition and support sagging tissue.

  • Biological Stimulation

Over several months, the threads stimulate collagen production as they dissolve, leading to firmer, tighter skin even after the threads are absorbed.

Threads typically dissolve over 4–6 months, while collagen stimulation can continue for up to 12 months or longer, providing progressive and long-lasting results.
