PDO Thread Lifts

A visible lift, no surgery required.

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifts use fine, biodegradable threads inserted beneath the skin to create an immediate, subtle lifting effect. Over time, the threads also stimulate your skin's own collagen production, supporting firmness as they gradually and fully absorb.

Dr. Quan Nguyen, MD maps thread placement to your specific areas of concern for a natural-looking lift, not a pulled or overdone appearance.

Benefits

  • Non-surgical lifting effect for sagging or lax skin
  • Stimulates your skin's own collagen production
  • Immediate, natural-looking improvement
  • Minimal downtime compared to surgical alternatives
  • Threads fully absorb into the body over time

What to Expect

  • Consultation and facial mapping to plan thread placement
  • Local numbing applied for comfort
  • Thread placement, typically 45–60 minutes
  • Immediate lift assessment together before you leave

Is a Thread Lift Right for You?

Thread lifts suit those with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who want a lifted appearance without surgery. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, with additional sessions available to maintain your lift over time. Dr. Nguyen will be direct with you about which option fits your goals during your consultation.
