PDO thread lift is a non-surgical alternative to the traditional facelift.During our PDO thread lift , unique surgical threads are woven into your facial skin to lift the sagging skin tissues, thus restoring your skin’s voluminous, youthful, v-shaped look. Furthermore, this treatment also encourages natural collagen production to reverse the signs of aging, ensuring safe, natural, and long-lasting results.

PDO for Non-Surgical Face Lift/ Neck Lift
PDO (polydioxanone) is a biodegradable and biocompatible material generally used for surgical sutures. This material has the brilliant capability to encourage the production of collagen, a fibrous protein that makes your skin look firm, taut, and youthful. The presence of collagen within your skin makes it look youthful and voluminous, and the gradual loss of collagen because of aging leads to facial sagging, skin laxity, and heaviness in the lower face.
A PDO thread lift in Buffalo has two-fold purposes. First, the PDO threads are carefully woven underneath the face to give your facial skin an instant lift, making it look fuller, smoother, and more voluminous. Second, the PDO threads encourage natural collagen production, making your body produce the fibrous proteins that make your skin look firm and taut. Over time, the PDO threads will get metabolized by the body, but the collagen fibers will remain.
Benefits of PDO Thread Lift:
- Non-surgical facelift and neck lift
- Minimal side effects and negligible risk of complications
- Catalyze natural collagen production
- Restore youthful V-shape to the face
- Fill out fine lines and wrinkles
- Immediate results that improve over several months
- Long-lasting and completely natural results
- Minimal post-treatment recovery period
Your PDO Thread Lift Journey
Procedure
The PDO thread lift is a simple, in-office, non-surgical treatment that concludes within 30 minutes. Your cosmetic provider will cleanse your facial skin and apply lidocaine numbing gel to ensure comfort. Using a fine, blunt-tipped cannula, the physician will insert the PDO threads underneath your facial skin to lift your skin tissues. The number of threads will depend on your unique goals.
Recovery
Your PDO thread lift in Buffalo doesn’t involve an extended recovery period or downtime. You should avoid strenuous workouts and activities for a day or two, so this treatment should ideally be scheduled during a weekend. You may experience mild redness, swelling, bruising, irritation, and discomfort around the treatment areas, but these side effects should dissipate within two weeks.
Results
PDO thread lift produces instant results — your skin will look fuller and more voluminous at the end of the treatment. However, the PDO threads will be gradually metabolized and replaced by collagen fibers. The final results should last for up to 3 years.
Volumizing Threads
Volumizing threads are designed to add volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging. Made from PDO, these threads are inserted under the skin to create a scaffold that supports and lifts the tissues. The threads stimulate collagen production, leading to natural-looking volume restoration over time. Ideal for enhancing cheeks, jawline, and other areas needing a fuller appearance, volumizing threads offer benefits such as improved skin texture and elasticity, providing a youthful and refreshed look.
4D Lifting Threads
4D lifting targets multiple dimensions of skin aging. In addition to PDO threads, 4D lifting includes radiofrequency procedures, botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, and mesotherapy. The PDO threads are inserted in a mesh-like pattern to create a strong support structure under the skin, effectively lifting and firming sagging areas. The radiofrequency treatments and other complementary procedures further enhance collagen production, treat dynamic wrinkles, and replace lost facial volume for holistic skin rejuvenation.
Candidates for PDO Thread Lift:
