PDO Thread Lift

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

A PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is an advanced aesthetic treatment that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and support sagging skin tissue. These medical-grade threads are safely absorbed by the body over time while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production to rejuvenate and firm the skin from within.

At Biosymmetry Wilmington, we customize each PDO Thread Lift treatment to your unique facial structure and goals, ensuring natural, refreshed results. The procedure offers a gentle alternative to surgical facelifts—perfect for those seeking visible lift and contour without incisions or extended recovery.

How a PDO Thread Lift Works

During the PDO Thread Lift procedure, fine, absorbable threads are precisely inserted under the skin using a small needle or cannula. Once placed, the threads act as a scaffold, gently lifting and repositioning sagging tissue. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve, but their collagen-boosting effect continues, improving skin elasticity, tone, and texture.

The treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated, with minimal downtime. Results are immediate and continue to improve over the next several months as your body produces new collagen for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Conditions Treated with a PDO Thread Lift

The PDO Thread Lift is ideal for addressing early signs of aging and improving skin laxity in various areas of the face and neck.

Common areas and concerns treated include:

• Sagging cheeks and jowls
• Drooping eyebrows or forehead lines
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines
• Neck laxity or “turkey neck”
• Mild to moderate skin sagging
• Loss of facial volume and definition
