Facelift surgeries can help improve the structure of your entire face and make you look years younger. Surgeons can remove loose skin, remove excess fat, contour your face, and relax the skin to reduce sagging. While these are all great benefits, cosmetic surgery can be painful and have serious side effects. Many people want the benefits of a facelift without having to go through the invasive, expensive process of a rhytidectomy. That’s why we here at Wellness Center of Cleveland offer PDO thread lifts, otherwise referred to as non-surgical facelifts. But what exactly is a PDO thread lift and can it give me the same results as a surgical facelift?
A PDO thread lift is a cosmetic procedure used to lift sagging skin and naturally contour the face. PDO threads, or polydioxanone threads, are biodegradable sutures placed beneath the skin to create a lifting and firming effect. This non-surgical facelift stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and structure over time.
There are two primary types of PDO threads:
PDO threads gradually dissolve within six months, but their collagen-boosting effects continue, leading to long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
Before the procedure, we suggest you stay from alcohol and tobacco for at least 5 days. This will reduce any bleeding and bruising so that your recovery goes smoothly.
During the procedure, the medical professional will first apply a gentle cleanser to your face and apply a local anesthetic. A small device called a cannula will be inserted into your face. Next, your medical professional will anchor the thread and gently remove the cannula. After making sure the thread is in place, your doctor will send you home. The local anesthetic will ensure your PDO thread lift is painless.
What conditions do PDO Threads address?
PDO threads effectively treat common signs of skin aging and laxity, including:
This treatment is an excellent alternative to a surgical facelift, offering a non-invasive way to lift and rejuvenate the skin.
What areas of the face can a PDO Thread Lift treat?
PDO thread lifts are of course meant to treat your face. They can benefit areas including your jaw, neck, eyes, and cheeks. To enhance your lift results, we recommend you look into getting dermal fillers as well for a more dramatic change in appearance. The combination of these treatments can make it look like you got a surgical facelift if that’s your goal.
There are numerous benefits of a PDO thread lift including:
A good candidate for a PDO thread lift is anyone in their thirties to early fifties who are showing signs of aging. It’s also a good option for anyone who can’t have a surgical facelift for medical reasons such as high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease.
While you’re recovering, you may experience some slight bruising and swelling for up to 48 hours. For 5-7 days, stay away from alcohol, makeup, smoking, and exercising. Your medical professional will provide you with all of the information you need for proper healing, aftercare, and recovery. The amazing results of your thread lift will last for up to a year and a half!
Results from PDO thread treatments appear immediately and continue improving as collagen production increases. Skin will look tighter, firmer, and more youthful for up to 12–18 months, depending on individual factors. Maintenance treatments every 12–18 months help prolong the lifting effect.

There are two types of threads used for this treatment, polylactic acid threads, and polycaprolactone threads. These sutures begin to break down in your body after 6 months and are used to trigger the healing response in your face. Thread lifts are much safer and more affordable than surgical facelifts. Instead of removing the client’s skin, the thread lift uses temporary sutures to lift the skin. PDO thread lifts also encourage collagen production which in turn increases skin elasticity, prevents wrinkling, and improves dry skin.
The lifting effect lasts 12–18 months, while the collagen production benefits can continue even longer.
A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Results are immediate, with continued improvement as collagen and elastin production increases.
Downtime is minimal, with most patients returning to normal activities within a day or two.
PDO threads provide a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, though severe skin laxity may require a surgical approach.
PDO threads lift and tighten the skin, while dermal fillers <link fillers page> restore volume. Many patients combine both for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Most PDO thread lifts take 30–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Yes! Many patients combine PDO threads with dermal fillers, Botox, or RF microneedling for enhanced results.
