The PDO Thread Lift at Refresh LA offers a non-surgical alternative to facelift surgery for patients seeking tighter, more lifted skin. This minimally invasive procedure uses polydioxanone (PDO) sutures—the same medical-grade material used in cardiovascular surgery—to gently reposition sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally while leaving behind a rejuvenated structural framework.

How It Works

Our clinicians begin with a detailed facial assessment to map out optimal thread placement and achieve subtle, symmetrical lifting without distortion. Using sterile, fine cannulas, the PDO threads are carefully inserted along strategic vectors to elevate the cheeks, jowls, brows, and neck. Once in place, the threads provide immediate support and gradually stimulate collagen formation for long-term tightening.

Benefits of PDO Thread Lift

PDO threads enhance firmness, elasticity, and hydration even after the threads dissolve. Results develop gradually, producing a natural look without abrupt changes or downtime. Depending on the thread type and treatment area, lifting effects can last 12 to 24 months.

Treatment Areas

PDO Thread Lift effectively rejuvenates:

  • Mid-face and cheeks
  • Jawline and jowls
  • Brow area
  • Neck
  • Nasolabial folds

Results & Recovery

The treatment requires minimal downtime, and most patients return to daily activities within 24–48 hours. Mild tenderness or temporary swelling is common but typically resolves quickly. Results appear progressively over the following months as collagen remodeling strengthens the underlying tissue.
