Explore what to expect before, during, and after your treatment, including anticipated results and recommended treatment frequency—so you can feel confident, prepared, and excited for your transformation.

Before Your treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners
Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E) for 5-7 days before treatment to minimize bruising.

Limit Alcohol and Smoking
Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 48 hours prior to your appointment to optimize healing and results.

Hydrate
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to ensure your skin is well-hydrated.

Discuss Medical History
Inform your provider of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications during your consultation.

Plan Ahead
Schedule your treatment with enough time before important events, as mild swelling or bruising may occur post-procedure.

During Your treatment

Consultation and Customization
Your provider will evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan.

Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed, and a local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.

Thread Insertion
Using a fine cannula or needle, PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten the targeted area. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Minimal Discomfort
Most patients report mild pressure or pulling sensations during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal due to the use of local anesthesia.

After Your Treatment

Avoid Touching the Area
Do not massage, rub, or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 2 weeks.

Limit Strenuous Activities
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or facial treatments for 1-2 weeks post-treatment.

Sleep Elevated
Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first 3-5 nights to minimize swelling.

Avoid Alcohol and Smoking
Refrain from alcohol and smoking for 5-7 days to promote healing.

Monitor Side Effects
Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is normal and typically resolves within 1-2 weeks. Contact your provider if you experience severe pain or unusual symptoms

Expected Results

Immediate Lifting Effect
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in skin tightness and lift following the procedure.

Enhanced Results Over Time
Collagen production increases over the next 4-6 weeks, leading to improved skin elasticity, firmness, and texture.

Long-Lasting Outcomes
Results can last 12-18 months, depending on the type of threads used, your skin condition, and lifestyle factors.

Treatment Frequency

Initial Treatment:
Most patients achieve their desired results after one treatment.

Maintenance:
For optimal results, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 12-18 months to sustain the lifting and collagen-boosting effects.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What are PDO Threads, and how do they work?

PDO Threads are biodegradable sutures inserted beneath the skin to lift sagging areas and stimulate collagen production. The threads provide an immediate lifting effect while boosting skin elasticity and firmness over time as they dissolve naturally.

What areas can be treated with PDO Threads?

PDO Threads are versatile and can be used to lift and tighten areas such as:

Face: cheeks, jawline, brow, and nasolabial folds
Neck: loose skin or "turkey neck"
Body: arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees

Is there downtime after PDO Threads?

Downtime is minimal, but you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for 1-2 weeks. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, with proper aftercare.

How long do PDO Threads last?

PDO Threads typically last 12-18 months. The threads dissolve naturally over time, but the collagen they stimulate helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity even after the threads are gone.
