Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are special medical-grade threads as thin as hair and made of protein. PDO threads relax tendons and muscles and cause a foreign body reaction that improves blood flow to the area, stimulating neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen in the skin).

We offer PDO thread lifts by V Soft Lift®, an FDA-cleared company that provides a trusted and effective palette of threads for facial rejuvenation, lift, volume, and support.

We use a topical numbing gel to limit any discomfort. A specially designed thin needle is used to insert the threads into the skin, minimizing patient discomfort.  Guests sometimes experience mild soreness and swelling for a few days after having this procedure, but it can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Your skin will fully absorb the PDO thread within 4 to 6 months without leaving any scar tissue.

For smoothing results from PDO smooth threads, a series of treatments is usually recommended for best results, 3 treatments 4 to 6 weeks apart. PDO smooth threads dissolve after 4 to 6 months from last treatment. PDO Lifting Threads in one treatment and dissolve 9 to 12 months.

Once PDO threads have been inserted there is a core of collagen that begins to surround the thread, making it extremely traumatic to remove. In general, it is best to not remove absorbable threads unless there is a strong medical reason, such as an infection.

You should refrain from washing, wetting, and touching your face or the treated area for at least 12 hours after your procedure. Once you start showering and cleansing the area, be careful not to massage or scrub with a washcloth for 3 weeks after your thread lift. Do not rub, massage or press on the treated area.
