THREAD LIFT • COLLAGEN SUPPORT
HDPDO Thread Lift
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are dissolvable, thin threads. Depending on placement, threads can be used to lift and contour the face and stimulate the skin’s ability to produce collagen.
A refined lift—without surgery
PDO threads are placed beneath the skin to support lifting and definition. Over time, as the threads dissolve, they can help encourage collagen production for a smoother, more supported look.
Targeted definition
Jawline, cheeks, and lower-face support—based on your anatomy and goals.
Natural finish
A subtle, elevated result—never “overdone.”
Collagen support
Threads gradually dissolve while supporting collagen stimulation over time.

Procedure
To keep you comfortable throughout the process, topical numbing cream is applied to the target area. After the numbing cream sits for about thirty minutes, the threads are carefully inserted and anchored. This can support lifting of sagging skin, sharpen the jawline, help flatten double chins, soften folds in the face, and stimulate collagen production.
Possible side effects
Can include pain, minor bruising, infection, snapping of threads, hematoma, inflammation, hair loss, salivary gland injury, or dimpling.
RESULTS
Before & After
Individual results vary. Your provider will discuss what’s realistic for your anatomy and goals.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Made in Italy, our threads stand out because they are high density which makes them stronger and more adaptable to heat while lasting up to two years. HD-PDO Thread Lift procedures allow for a rapid lifting of the skin with immediate improvement and long-lasting results.
The HD PDO threads are inserted via blunt tip needles (cannulas) or sharp-tipped needles. Once inserted into the appropriate layer of skin, they act as anchors as the skin is lifted upwards.
Possible side effects can include dimpling, thread exposure, alopecia, under-correction, asymmetry, bruising, swelling, infection, and tenderness. These reactions are often mild to moderate and may be correctable depending on the cause.
Based on individual metabolism and treatment plan, results may vary. Many clients see results that can last from about 8–12 months, and in some cases up to a year and a half to two years.
Important disclaimer
As with most medical procedures, there are certain risks and side effects associated with a thread lift. These may include pain or discomfort, facial asymmetry, risk of infection, bruising and swelling, threads being felt under the skin, thread migration, and thread breakage.
