A PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure using dissolvable threads to lift and tighten the skin. Inserted with a fine needle, they lifts sagging facial skin for a youthful look. PDO threads, used in surgical stitches, stimulate collagen and act as a "scaffold" to hold the skin. Common areas treated include the midface, lower face, chin, and jawline. Side effects may include minor bruising and infection.​ Threads dissolve in 4-6 months, but effects last beyond a year or so.
