Lift up your youthful appearance with PDO thread lifts!
With age, the skin on your face begins to sag and becomes more lax and wrinkled. But just because aging is natural doesn’t mean you have to age naturally!
There are numerous skin care treatments that promise to lift and tighten the skin, but not all of them deliver on this promise.
However, one that does deliver is the PDO thread lift. If you’re concerned about advanced sagging, deep lines, and wrinkles on your face, you may want to consider this skin rejuvenation solution.

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers results comparable to a traditional facelift. During the procedure, we use MINT lifting threads that literally lift your skin from the inside. The result is lifted, tighter, and smoother skin that looks more youthful.
The threads are made of a synthetic polymer called polydioxanone (PDO), which has long been used in implants and medical devices. One of our experts at Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center will gently insert these cogged threads into your skin using a needle or cannula. The small barbs or cogs on the threads anchor to the skin, and when pulled tight, create a powerful lifting effect. Your skin will tighten and lift, creating that youthful, beautiful appearance you’re looking for.
Lifting threads support hanging and sagging skin and create a sculpted appearance. The barbs or cogs on the threads allow for the skin to be lifted and held in place, providing immediate and visible results. Eventually, the threads will be broken down and absorbed by the body, and the skin will return to its natural state. However, the effects can last for a year or more, depending on the individual.
Your PDO thread lift at Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center is performed with precision, care, and your comfort in mind. After a thorough consultation and facial mapping, a topical numbing agent and local anesthetic are applied to the treatment area. Then, your experienced medical provider will insert the MINT PDO threads beneath the skin using a small needle or cannula. The barbed threads anchor into tissue and are gently pulled to reposition and lift sagging areas.
The entire procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes, and the results are visible immediately. After the threads are in place, your skin continues to firm and smooth out over time as new collagen production is stimulated in the treatment area.
PDO thread lifts offer a versatile solution for both facial aging and early body laxity, especially in areas where skin has begun to sag or lose definition.

PDO thread lifts are ideal for healthy adults experiencing mild to moderate sagging or loss of firmness in the face or neck. They're best suited for patients in their 30s to 60s who want a lift but aren’t ready for surgery. If you’re pregnant, have a bleeding disorder, or have active skin infections in the treatment area, you may need to wait or explore alternative options.
During your consultation at Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center, we’ll assess your skin, review your goals, and help determine if threads, fillers, or another approach will help you look and feel your best.
Recovery after a PDO thread lift is typically minimal. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the insertion points, which usually resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within 24–72 hours.
We recommend avoiding intense workouts, facial massages, or exaggerated facial movements for about one week. Sleep with your head elevated and avoid sleeping on your face. We’ll provide specific aftercare instructions to protect your lift and optimize healing.
You’ll notice a visible lift immediately after your PDO thread lift. Cheeks appear perkier, jowls are softened, and your profile becomes more defined. Over the next 4–8 weeks, collagen production increases, further improving skin firmness, texture, and elasticity.
Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on factors like your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. To maintain your refreshed look, we may recommend touch-ups or combination treatments such as dermal fillers or microneedling.
