Thread Lift

Non-surgical face lift using dissolvable PDO threads — instant lift, minimal downtime.

Thread lift uses dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) threads with tiny anchoring barbs, inserted under the skin to physically lift and reposition sagging tissue. Stimulates collagen as the threads dissolve over 6–8 months, with the lifting effect lasting 12–18 months. A bridge option between non-surgical fillers and a full surgical facelift.
