Frequently Asked Questions

The product earned FDA-many years ago, and we only use FDA-cleared threads.
Who is a good candidate to have PDO Threads procedure?
PDO Threads are the ideal minimally-invasive solution for many men and women who are interested in refreshing their appearance without major surgery, injections, or lasers. They offer a new and unique technology to lift sagging facial skin. Suitable candidates have good skin quality, with moderate sagging of the skin in the mid-face. Skin should not be too thick/heavy or too thin.
What can PDO Thread Lift do to improve my appearance?
Sagging facial skin is one of the major contributors to an aged and tired appearance. PDO Thread Lift is a minimally-invasive procedure that redefines the contours of your mid-face by lifting the deeper layers of your skin for a more youthful look.
What areas of the face does PDO Lift treat?
PDO Thread Lift is indicated for use in mid-face suspension to temporarily fixate the cheek sub dermis in an elevated position.
Additional great results are seen with Neck Lift, Body Lifts, and Cat eye Lift.
How is the PDO Lift procedure performed?
During the in-office procedure, a specially-trained physician will begin by marking the areas of desired lift on the patient. He / she will then gently insert a needle to a depth of 5mm and guide it through the subcutaneous tissue of the mid-face and extract at each bi-directional exit point. The sutures have bi-directional absorbable cones that hold them in place. The treatment is generally well tolerated by patients and takes approximately 45 minutes or less.
Is general anesthesia required?
No. Your physician will only use a local anesthetic to numb the area before inserting the sutures.
What are the side effects that might happen with this procedure?
After placement, patients may experience a minimal acute inflammatory tissue reaction. Symptoms may include minor pain, swelling and bruising. Material sensitivity / allergic reactions should be reported. Implantation of foreign materials in tissue can result in histological reactions. Other potential side effects include sensory nerve injury, asymmetry or banding.
Where can I have PDO Lift performed?
PDO Lift should only be performed by qualified physicians who have undergone special, comprehensive training and are familiar with the techniques required.
