What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are biodegradable sutures used to lift, contour, and firm the skin. Once inserted under the skin, the threads create an immediate lifting effect and gradually dissolve over time while stimulating collagen and elastin production.
PDO thread lifts are ideal for:
- Sagging cheeks or jowls
- Loose jawlines
- Smile lines and marionette lines
- Under-eye hollows
- Neck creases and mild skin laxity
Results are natural-looking, never overdone, and designed to complement your existing features. PDO Threads can be combined with Botox or anti-aging skincare for full-face rejuvenation.
Why Choose PDO Threads Over Surgery?
Thread lifts offer many of the benefits of a facelift—without the cost, risks, or recovery time of surgery:
- Minimally invasive, no general anesthesia
- Immediate lift with continued improvement over months
- Minimal downtime (return to normal activity within 1–2 days)
- Gradual, natural skin tightening through collagen remodeling
- In-office procedure completed in under 60 minutes
Ideal for busy professionals and patients who prefer subtle enhancements rather than dramatic changes, PDO Threads are the perfect middle ground between cosmetic dermatology and surgical intervention.
What to Expect During Your PDO Thread Lift
- Consultation with Dr. Tarantino to assess your facial structure and customize your treatment plan.
- Local numbing to ensure a comfortable experience.
- Insertion of threads beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula.
- Threads are gently positioned and tightened, resulting in a lifted, contoured appearance.
Most patients see immediate improvement with continued tightening over 3–6 months as collagen builds around the threads. Results last up to 12–18 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
For additional volume or line correction, we may recommend pairing PDO threads with Botox or topical anti-aging treatments from our cosmetic services menu.

FAQs: PDO Threads
PDO threads dissolve naturally in about 6 months, but the collagen stimulation they trigger can last up to 12–18 months, maintaining lifted, firmer skin even after the threads are absorbed.
Pricing depends on the number of threads used and the areas treated. On average, PDO thread lifts range from $600 to $2,500. We will provide a custom quote during your consultation.
PDO thread lifts are very safe, but potential side effects include mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Rare complications can include asymmetry or thread visibility, which is why choosing a qualified provider is essential.
