ShopRefine your profile with a PDO thread lift at Nova Aesthetics. This advanced treatment targets skin laxity, drooping cheeks, jowls, and diminished facial definition, helping you enjoy a naturally lifted, beautifully balanced appearance with minimal downtime.
Tighten and Support Aging Skin
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that lifts and supports sagging skin while stimulating your natural collagen production. Fine, dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads are strategically placed beneath the skin to improve facial contours, soften early signs of aging, and enhance skin firmness. As the threads gradually dissolve over time, the newly formed collagen continues to provide structural support, helping you maintain a smoother, more youthful appearance.
PDO Thread Lifts Treat:
- Mild to moderate facial skin laxity
- Sagging cheeks and midface tissues
- Early jowl formation
- Loss of jawline definition
- Drooping brows
- Loose skin along the neck
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Mild facial asymmetry
- Reduced skin firmness and elasticity
- Early signs of facial aging
- Loss of youthful facial contours
The Science Behind a PDO Thread Lift
A PDO thread lift uses fine, medical-grade polydioxanone (PDO) threads placed beneath the skin with a thin cannula or needle. The threads provide an immediate mechanical lift by repositioning soft tissues while triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response. This stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, strengthening the skin’s support structure over time. As the threads dissolve, the collagen network continues to improve firmness and facial definition.

Your Complete PDO Thread Lift Experience
After cleansing your skin, your provider marks the treatment areas and administers a local anesthetic to maximize comfort. Using a fine cannula or needle, dissolvable PDO threads are inserted beneath your skin and positioned to lift and support the targeted facial tissues. The threads are gently adjusted to create smoother, more defined facial contours before the entry points are cleaned. Most treatments take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas addressed.
After your procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, or tightness for a few days. Most people resume normal activities within a few days, although strenuous exercise should be avoided temporarily. You will notice an immediate lift, with continued improvement as collagen develops over the following weeks. The results last 12 to 18 months, depending on your age, skin quality, and lifestyle.
FAQs
Will My Face Look Overdone?
When performed by an experienced provider, the goal is subtle enhancement. Your facial features remain uniquely yours while the sagging tissues are repositioned and supported. The treatment aims to restore youthful proportions and definition without creating an artificial or overly tightened appearance.
Will I Be Able to Feel the Threads?
You may notice a slight sensation of tightness or be aware of the threads during the first few weeks as your tissues adapt. This is a normal part of the healing process. Once healing is complete, most patients no longer notice the threads beneath the skin.
Is There Anything I Should Avoid After Treatment?
Yes. You should avoid vigorous exercise, excessive facial movements, facial massages, and sleeping directly on your face for the period recommended by your provider. Following your aftercare instructions helps protect the threads while they integrate with your tissues.
