At Optimal Hormone Health and Aesthetics, we understand the importance of maintaining a youthful appearance. That’s why we offer PDO thread lift in Spring, a minimally invasive treatment that tightens and lifts sagging skin in the face, neck, and body. Our skilled team uses dissolvable threads to target problem areas, achieving natural-looking results lasting up to two years.
Lift Sagging Skin & Elevate Facial Contours
PDO thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that provides a lift and tightening effect to sagging skin. The treatment involves inserting thin, dissolvable threads into the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. As the threads dissolve over time, they leave behind a support structure for the skin, resulting in a lifted and more youthful appearance. PDO thread lift can elevate facial contours, define the jawline, and smooth wrinkles. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional facelift surgery.

- Sagging skin on the face, neck, and body
- Drooping eyebrows and eyelids
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines around the mouth)

How PDO Thread Lift Works
PDO thread lift works by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and support to the skin, but its production decreases with age, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. The treatment involves inserting dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the skin, creating a temporary scaffolding effect that supports the skin and stimulates collagen production. The threads are absorbed by the body, leaving behind a network of new collagen fibers that lift and tighten the skin.
How Long Do PDO Threads Last?
One of the benefits of PDO threads is that results begin almost immediately, with many patients noticing a subtle lift right after treatment. As the skin heals, results continue to improve.
Around six weeks, the threads fully settle and stimulate new collagen through controlled tissue disruption, helping improve firmness and support for a more natural-looking lift. While the threads gradually dissolve around nine months, the collagen they create helps maintain results. Most patients enjoy improved skin quality and lift for about twelve months.
At Optimal Hormone, we take a strategic approach to timing treatments. Many patients benefit from annual PDO thread treatments to maintain collagen support and prevent skin laxity, all guided by a personalized consultation.

During your consultation, we’ll review your personalized treatment plan and pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
Are PDO Threads Right for You?
PDO threads are ideal for patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want noticeable improvement without surgery. They’re a great option for those who value natural results, minimal downtime, and collagen-focused treatments.
The best way to determine if PDO threads are right for you is through a personalized consultation at Optimal Hormone.
Your PDO Thread Lift Experience
During your PDO thread lift session, our medical team will assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. The treatment involves inserting dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the skin using a thin needle. The threads are strategically placed to create a lifting effect, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. PDO thread lift in Spring takes 30-60 minutes. After the treatment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness, which typically subside within a few days. You can return to your normal activities immediately, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for a few days.
The threads will dissolve naturally over several months, but the results can last up to 2 years. The results of PDO thread lift become noticeable immediately but continue improving over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated. The PDO threads dissolve naturally within a few months, but the results last up to 2 years or more because of your skin’s increased collagen levels. Most patients need maintenance treatments every 2 years.
PDO Thread Lift FAQs
Is a PDO thread lift painful?
PDO thread lifts are generally well tolerated and considered comfortable for most patients. Before treatment begins, a topical numbing agent and/or local anesthetic is applied to minimize sensation. You may feel mild pressure, tugging, or a brief pinching sensation as the threads are placed, but significant discomfort is uncommon.
After the procedure, some tenderness, tightness, or soreness may occur, especially when making facial movements, but this typically resolves within a few days. Most patients describe the experience as manageable and far less uncomfortable than surgeries. Your provider can also discuss additional comfort measures during your consultation.
Can PDO thread lifts be combined with other treatments?
Yes. PDO thread lifts are often combined with other aesthetic treatments to enhance the overall results. Many patients choose to pair threads with fillers to restore volume, neuromodulators such as Botox® to soften dynamic wrinkles, or skin rejuvenation treatments like microneedling, PRP, or laser therapies to improve overall skin tone and texture.
Combining treatments allows your provider to address multiple concerns, such as laxity, texture, tone, and volume, in a single plan. During your consultation, your provider will design a customized plan based on your goals, skin condition, and desired level of correction.
Will PDO threads be visible under the skin?
When placed correctly by a trained medical professional, PDO threads should not be visible. The threads are inserted beneath the surface of the skin at precise depths to provide support and stimulate collagen production without creating a noticeable outline.
In rare cases, mild irregularities or slight dimpling may occur shortly after treatment, but these typically resolve as swelling subsides and the threads settle. Choosing an experienced provider significantly reduces the risk of visible threads or unevenness.
Are there any risks or side effects with PDO threads?
PDO thread lifts have a strong safety profile, but some risks exist. Common temporary side effects include mild swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or tightness in the treated areas. Less common risks may include infection, asymmetry, or puckering. These complications are rare and are further minimized when treatment is performed by a qualified provider.
How should I care for my skin after a PDO thread lift?
After your PDO thread lift, you should avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, facial massages, and sun or heat exposure for several days. Sleeping on your back, avoiding exaggerated facial movements, and keeping the treatment area clean can help promote proper healing.
Your provider may recommend gentle skincare products and specific post-treatment guidelines. Following these instructions supports optimal results and reduces the risk of complications.
