PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lifts offer the lifting and tightening benefits of a facelift without surgery, scarring, or lengthy recovery. These innovative threads are strategically placed beneath your skin to:
Immediately lift sagging skin in areas like cheeks, jawline, eyebrows, and neck
Stimulate collagen production for continued improvement over 3-6 months
Improve skin texture and quality for a natural, refreshed appearance
Provide long-lasting results that enhance your natural beauty
Unlike dermal fillers that add volume or Botox that relaxes muscles, PDO threads actually lift and reposition tissue while promoting your body’s own collagen production for sustained improvements.
