PDO Thread Lift in New York

What is PDO Thread Lift?

PDO Thread Lift is an effective technique that will lift and tighten sagging skin tissues by inducing collagen production. It involves the implantation of fine, absorbable biodegradable synthetic threads into the skin using small needles. These threads stay implanted in the skin causing collagen stimulation and granulation of the tissue. After six months, the PDO threads will be absorbed into the body, leaving new collagen in their place.

​

The procedure is usually carried out using local anaesthetic, and takes between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Side effects are minimal but may include swelling and bruising that lasts 3-7 days, and patients can continue with normal activities immediately after.

​

PDO Thread Lift can be used on the cheeks, brow, jawline, neck, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, forehead, arms, thighs and abdomen. The lifting effect is at its peak after 6 months when collagen has formed around the threads, and lasts between 2-3 years.
