What is a PDO thread lift and how does it work?

A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift uses dissolvable sutures carefully placed beneath the skin to gently reposition tissue. As the threads dissolve, they encourage new collagen growth, helping skin look firmer and smoother over time. Most patients see an immediate lift with continued improvement over the following weeks.

  • Barbed PDO threads - designed for lifting and repositioning sagging skin
  • Smooth PDO threads - used for skin tightening and texture support
  • Screw or twisted threads - ideal for areas that need more volume support

Why do patients in La Grange choose PDO threads over surgery?

Patient receiving PDO thread lift in the cheek and temple area at Express Med Spa La Grange, IL, performed by a licensed provider with blue gloves.

Many adults in their 30s to 60s want a refreshed look without the downtime of a facelift. PDO threads are popular because they:

  • Provide an instant, subtle lift
  • Encourage collagen production for months after treatment
  • Have little to no downtime
  • Can be combined with filler or Botox for a balanced result

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PDO THREAD LIFT?

You may be a candidate if you notice:

  • Mild to moderate sagging in the lower face, jawline, or neck
  • Drooping brows or hooded eyes you’d like lifted
  • Loss of midface definition or early jowling

During your consult, our licensed providers will review your medical history, skincare routine, and treatment goals to ensure PDO threads are safe and appropriate for you.

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH PDO THREADS?

  • Jawline & Jowls: Sharpen and define your jawline while reducing sagging skin
  • Neck & Chin: Improve the appearance of “tech neck” lines and mild laxity
  • Brow / Fox Eye: Elevate the outer corners of the brow for a refreshed look
  • Cheeks & Midface: Subtle lifting to soften nasolabial folds and restore structure

WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER A PDO THREAD LIFT?

Most patients resume normal routines quickly, though mild swelling or tightness is common in the first few days. Here’s a typical timeline:

  • Day 1-3: Mild swelling, tightness, or bruising
  • Week 1-2: Avoid strenuous workouts and exaggerated facial movements
  • Weeks 3-6: Threads settle, collagen builds, and results smooth out

We’ll provide a detailed aftercare guide and are available if you have any concerns during healing.

HOW LONG DO PDO THREAD LIFT RESULTS LAST?

PDO threads dissolve naturally in 4-6 months, but the collagen they stimulate can support results for 12-18 months.

Many patients schedule maintenance every 12-18 months to extend their results.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OR SIDE EFFECTS OF PDO THREADS?

Common, temporary effects include swelling, bruising, or a feeling of tightness. Less common complications can include dimpling, asymmetry, or infection. At Express Med Spa, safety is our top priority, we follow sterile technique and provide detailed instructions for when to call us.

Individual results vary. No medical procedure is risk-free. Your provider will discuss all risks and benefits during your consultation.

PDO THREADS VS. FILLERS AND OTHER TREATMENTS – WHICH IS BEST?

  • PDO Threads vs Fillers: Threads lift and reposition; fillers restore lost volume. Many patients benefit from both.
  • PDO Threads vs Facelift: Threads are minimally invasive with less downtime, but results are temporary compared to surgery.
  • PDO Threads vs Ultherapy: Ultherapy stimulates collagen with ultrasound energy; threads provide immediate lifting. They can also be combined for enhanced results.
