Non-Surgical Lift
Lift & Tighten Without Surgery — Results That Last Up to 12 Months
PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifts use tiny dissolving threads inserted into deep skin layers to lift and tighten the face — achieving results similar to a surgical facelift, without the surgery.
The procedure takes 30 minutes or less under local anesthetic. Tiny cannulas guide the threads for a customized, natural lift. Results are visible immediately and continue improving for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PDO thread lift?
A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny dissolvable threads to lift and tighten sagging facial skin. The threads are inserted beneath the skin using fine cannulas to create an immediate lifting effect while also stimulating collagen production.
How long do PDO thread lift results last?
Results typically last 6–12 months. The threads dissolve naturally within a few months, but the collagen stimulation they trigger continues to provide lifting and tightening benefits for up to 12 months total.
How is it different from a surgical facelift?
A PDO thread lift is non-surgical, requires no general anesthesia, and involves no incisions or scarring. The procedure takes 30 minutes or less with no significant downtime. Results are more modest than a surgical facelift but offer a natural-looking lift at a fraction of the cost and recovery time.
Does it hurt?
Local anesthetic is administered before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience mild soreness, swelling, or bruising for a few days afterward. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
Who is a good candidate for a PDO thread lift?
Ideal candidates are adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a natural-looking lift without surgery. Dr. Elder will assess your skin and anatomy during your free consultation to determine if a PDO thread lift is right for you.
