A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical facelift where facial skin is lifted and tightened using Polydioxanone (PDO) threads. These threads are anchored and inserted into different layers of the skin using needles, instantly lifting and tightening sagging skin. Anywhere from 1-15 threads may be used per section.

The Thread is completely biodegradable and dissolves within 12 weeks, after which new collagen has formed around the thread to continue to support results, maintaining a smooth supple texture of the skin.

The difference between filler and threads is that filler is adding more volume to an area vs threads are smoothing or lifting an area. Filler does not last as long as PDO Threads.

You can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to more than $5,000. Your insurance likely won’t cover a thread lift since it’s a cosmetic procedure.
