PDO Thread Lift
A PDO thread lift is a refined, non-surgical approach to subtly lift and contour the face and neck—ideal for patients who want visible tightening without the downtime of surgery. At Refresh Beauty & Wellness, our clinicians prioritize balanced vectors, symmetry, and a natural finish.
Serving Glendale and nearby communities including Burbank, Pasadena, Eagle Rock, La Cañada Flintridge, Atwater Village, North Hollywood, Studio City, and greater Los Angeles.
Lift, refine, and support collagen—without surgery
A PDO Thread Lift uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads placed beneath the skin to provide immediate support and encourage collagen remodeling over time. PDO is widely used in medical sutures and dissolves naturally while the skin’s supportive framework continues to improve.
How it works
We begin with a detailed facial assessment to map placement that complements your features. Using sterile technique and fine cannulas, threads are placed along strategic vectors to elevate areas such as the cheeks, jawline, brow, and neck—supporting subtle, symmetrical lifting.
Benefits
PDO threads can improve the appearance of laxity and definition with a natural finish—especially when paired with a tailored plan and thoughtful aftercare.
- Non-surgical lift for select areas
- Gradual collagen support as threads dissolve
- Minimal downtime for most patients
- Can be layered with injectables or energy devices when appropriate
Treatment areas
- Mid-face and cheeks
- Jawline and jowls
- Brow area
- Neck
- Nasolabial folds
Results & recovery
Most patients return to daily activities within 24–48 hours. Mild tenderness, swelling, or bruising can occur and usually settles quickly. Results continue to evolve over the following weeks as collagen remodeling strengthens the support.

Yes. PDO threads can pair well with fillers, RF microneedling, and other rejuvenation strategies. We’ll advise on timing, sequencing, and what makes sense for your goals.
