PDO Thread Lift - Non-Surgical Face Lift

PDO thread lifts are one of the more approachable non-surgical treatments available at a medical spa, but they do involve a needle-based placement process, which can feel unfamiliar if you are new to injectables or minimally invasive procedures. Many clients considering a PDO thread lift in La Grange, IL start with a consultation so our nurse practitioner can walk through each step beforehand.

A few things first-time clients typically want to understand before booking: how the threads are inserted, which treatment areas are most commonly addressed, what the immediate post-procedure experience looks like, and how to plan your schedule around any temporary swelling or tenderness.

Downtime is generally minimal for most clients, though individual responses vary. A consultation with your nurse practitioner is the best way to assess whether your skin, age, and goals are a good fit for this treatment.

PDO threads work in two phases. The initial lift is visible right after your appointment, giving the skin a firmer, more contoured appearance. Over the following months, the threads stimulate your body's natural collagen production, which can extend and build on those results.

For most clients, the benefits of a non-surgical thread lift may last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. Individual results vary based on skin quality, age, lifestyle, and the treatment area. Some clients report visible improvement for up to two years, though this is not typical for everyone.

When it comes to the cost of PDO threads, it's not quite as simple as a one-size-fits-all price tag. The investment in your rejuvenated look can vary depending on a few factors. At Express Med Spa, we customize each treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Typically, PDO thread lift treatments can range from $1,500 to $4,500. The final cost depends on:

The complexity of your particular case

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to lift and tighten tissue that has lost firmness over time. As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, which can support continued skin improvement in the months after treatment. All PDO thread procedures at Express Med Spas are performed by nurse practitioners.

Once inserted, PDO threads anchor to the surrounding tissue using small barbs or cones along the thread, depending on the type used. This creates the initial lift. Over time, as the threads dissolve, your body responds by producing new collagen around the insertion points, which helps the skin maintain its repositioned structure even after the threads are fully absorbed.
