Lift and Rejuvenate with PDO Threads

Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are engineered from the same durable, safe material as medical sutures. They are an ideal way to elevate drooping facial contours and bolster collagen production without the more significant risks, downtime, and costs of a surgical facelift. At CraftMD in Phoenix, AZ, we perform strategic PDO Thread Lifts.

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

A PDO Thread Lift is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation method that can help rewind the clock on aging, boosting your confidence and quality of life. It simultaneously elevates sagging midface contours and triggers the body to produce more collagen for longer-term skin suppleness, smoothness, and resilience. Collagen is an all-important protein found naturally in youthful complexions. However, as we age, its reserves are slowly depleted, leading to volume loss, skin laxity, wrinkles, lines, and folds. A PDO Thread Lift can be considered the middle ground between treatments with dermal fillers and a more invasive surgical facelift. It provides patients with highly natural-looking outcomes tailored to their unique goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a PDO Thread Lift?

For patients with mild to moderate skin sagging, a PDO Thread Lift may be a transformative option. Many patients are unhappy with the emergence of signs of aging in the midface, jawline, and upper neck but aren’t quite ready to submit themselves to a more invasive procedure like a facelift. During your private consultation in Phoenix, AZ, our team will conduct a physical evaluation and thorough review of your medical history to ensure that a PDO Thread Lift is the safest and most effective option for achieving your aesthetic goals.

Procedure, Recovery, and Aftercare

What to Expect From a PDO Thread Lift

A PDO Thread Lift at the CraftMD Med Spa in Phoenix is performed through a series of steps as follows:

  • Your provider will thoroughly cleanse and numb the treatment area to enhance your comfort and peace of mind during your sessions.
  • Specific facial points will be marked according to your unique treatment plan.
  • Your practitioner will then insert the polydioxanone threads under the skin to elevate sagging contours and boost collagen production.
  • Finally, the threads are adjusted and trimmed as needed.

Recovery After a PDO Thread Lift 

A PDO Thread Lift performed with precision and meticulous attention to detail at the CraftMD Med Spa provides powerful rejuvenation results yet comes with minimal downtime. Patients are able to immediately return home and can begin seeing their improvements by the next day. While mild swelling, redness, and soreness may be present at first, these side effects usually resolve within a day or two. You can wear makeup right away after your session to conceal any minor discoloration. Take care to avoid exaggerated facial movements for a few weeks, as this can put undue pressure on the threads before they have fully integrated with your skin tissue.

PDO Thread Lift Aftercare Tips

  • Sleep with your head elevated for the first three days to reduce swelling.
  • Use ice packs to minimize any discomfort or soreness.
  • Avoid touching, massaging, or rubbing your face for at least a week. Be extra gentle when washing your face.
  • Postpone strenuous activities for several weeks.
  • Steer clear of intense heat (steam rooms, saunas, sunbathing, hot tubs, etc.) for 1-2 weeks.
  • Don’t undergo dental procedures for 2 weeks.
  • Avoid energy-based cosmetic treatments for 3 months.
