Aging causes our skin to sag, lose volume, and develop fine lines and wrinkles. For years, surgical facelifts have been the most sought after solution for turning back the hands of time; however, modern treatments such as PDO Threads are changing the surgical skin rejuvenation paradigm.
At Intu Med Spa, we offer PDO Thread Lifts, a minimally invasive and safe anti-aging treatment that lifts, tightens, and contours the skin. If you are exploring options for a non-surgical facelift or skin tightening treatment, PDO threads can be the answer you are looking for.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable sutures of medical grade which have been used for many years in surgical operations. Once placed in the skin, the threads serve as a framework to lift and hold the sagging tissue while enhancing collagen production and improving skin texture and elasticity.
PDO threads are gradually absorbed by the body with time (usually up to 6 months), however, the benefits that can be gained from these threads might last much longer due to the natural collagen stimulation.
PDO threads can be classified into three main categories:
- Mono Threads: Smooth Threads intended for collagen stimulation to assist improving skin texture.
- Cog Threads: These are barbed threads and they provide a lifting effect by anchoring to the skin.
- Screw Threads: These are coiled threads designed to provide volume to areas of the face that have sunken.
Benefits of PDO Threads
Without downtime or the dangers affiliated with surgery, PDO Thread Lift offers many big cosmetic advantages. Some of the highlights include:
– Non-invasive facelift with no surgical cuts
– Recover quickly with almost no downtime
– Collagen growth for rejuvenating the skin naturally
– Immediate lift and long-lasting results
– Entirely safe and cleared by the FDA
– Applicable for the face, neck, jawline, and other body parts
– Adjustable to focus on personal aesthetic priorities emergent of PDO threads
If sagging cheeks, jowls, nasolabial folds, or neck skin slack is what you face, PDO threads can help achieve a natural-looking lift.
How Do PDO Threads Work?
Using a fine needle or a cannula, PDO threads are put under the skin. The threads are anchored to the skin and lift it upwards once they are inserted. Threads are capable of activating the healing response in the body which increases collagen and elastin production around the area over time.
It takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete the procedure, depending on the area that is treated and involves no downtime. After the procedure, patients face slight bruising and swelling which resolves in less than a week.
Areas That Can Be Treated with PDO Threads
Thread lifts using PDO thread are versatile and multi-functional in areas they can be used on such as:
- Forehead and brows
- Cheeks and mid-face
- Jawline and jowls
- Neck and décolletage

- Preparation: To improve comfort during the treatment, numbing cream or local anesthesia is used.
- Insertion: Fine needles are used to insert PDO threads at the pre-defined sites.
- Lift and Finish: The threads are tugged softly until the proper lift is achieved and the treatment is finalized.
Recovery and Results
Minimal recovery time is one of the biggest advantages of PDO threads. Patients can get back to most normal activities on the same day, but it is advised to avoid workouts and facial massages for a week.
Immediate results can be seen after treatment and will improve in the next 2–6 months as collagen production increases.
