A PDO thread lift uses dissolvable threads placed under the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas while stimulating new collagen, with no surgery. At Cosmetica Med Spa in Boca Raton, we use threads for the face, neck and brows.
What a thread lift can do
- Lift sagging cheeks and jowls
- Define the jawline
- Lift the brows
- Tighten loose skin on the neck
How it works
Fine threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), a material used in surgical sutures for decades, are placed under the skin with a thin needle. They provide an immediate lift and gradually dissolve while your body builds new collagen around them.
What to expect
After numbing, treatment takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Mild swelling, bruising and tightness are common for a few days.
Results
You'll see some lift right away, with results improving over the next few months. Individual results vary.
Cost in Boca Raton
PDO thread lifts start at $999 per area.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a thread lift last?
PDO threads dissolve within about six months, but the collagen they stimulate can keep results going for 12 to 18 months.
Does a thread lift hurt?
The area is numbed first. Most people feel pressure and mild discomfort, with some soreness afterward.
Who is a good candidate?
Thread lifts work best for mild to moderate sagging. Significant laxity may need a surgical consultation.
What should I avoid afterward?
Avoid wide mouth opening, facial massage and strenuous exercise for about one to two weeks.
