What Is a PDO Thread Lift & How Long Do Results Last?
If you've been noticing sagging skin, loss of facial definition, or the early signs of jowls — but you're not ready for surgery — a PDO Thread Lift might be exactly what you've been looking for.
At Premier Solutions & Weight Loss in Lakeland, FL, we're proud to now offer PDO Thread Lift treatments as part of our expanding aesthetics menu. Here's everything you need to know.
What Is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical facelift that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin. The threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle, then gently pulled to reposition and lift the targeted area.
Beyond the immediate lift, PDO threads also stimulate your body's natural collagen production — meaning your results actually continue to improve over the weeks following your treatment.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
- Cheeks and mid-face
- Jawline and jowls
- Brow and forehead lift
- Neck and décolletage
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Under-eye area
What Happens During the Procedure?
The treatment is performed in-office and typically takes 45–60 minutes. Here's what to expect:
- Consultation: Our provider assesses your facial structure and discusses your goals
- Numbing: A topical or local anesthetic is applied for your comfort
- Thread insertion: Fine needles place the PDO threads precisely under the skin
- Lift & secure: Threads are gently tensioned to achieve the desired lift
- Recovery: Minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours
How Long Do PDO Thread Lift Results Last?
This is the question everyone asks — and the answer is impressive:
- ✅ Immediate lift visible right after treatment
- ✅ Collagen stimulation continues improving results over 2–3 months
- ✅ Threads dissolve naturally within 4–6 months
- ✅ Results last 12–18 months on average — sometimes longer with maintenance treatments
Because the threads trigger new collagen formation, the skin continues to look firmer and more youthful even after the threads have fully dissolved.
Am I a Good Candidate?
PDO Thread Lifts are ideal for men and women who:
- Are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity
- Want a non-surgical alternative to a facelift
- Are in good general health
- Have realistic expectations about results
- Want minimal downtime
During your consultation at Premier Solutions, our aesthetics team will evaluate your skin and facial anatomy to determine if a thread lift is the right choice — or if a combination approach with other treatments like Botox, fillers, or RF Skin Tightening would give you even better results.
