As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging and a more tired appearance. At American Medical Center, we offer the PDO Thread Lift—an innovative, non-surgical treatment that lifts and tightens the skin using absorbable sutures, helping you look refreshed and naturally youthful.
This FDA-approved procedure improves skin tone and texture by stimulating natural collagen production, with no incisions and no downtime.
Am I a Candidate for PDO Thread Lift?
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Want to lift sagging skin but aren’t ready for surgery
-
Have mild to moderate skin laxity around the cheeks, jawline, neck, eyes, or brows
-
Are in good health and have realistic expectations
-
Have not had prior surgeries in the treatment area
-
Are looking for a subtle, natural-looking enhancement
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and is a great option for patients wanting to delay the signs of aging.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, making it ideal for those with a busy lifestyle.
-
A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort
-
Threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle—no incisions required
-
The threads trigger a collagen-boosting response, gradually firming the skin
-
The lift is subtle yet noticeable, giving the face a smoother, tighter appearance
There is no cutting or scarring, and results look natural and refined.
Recovery After PDO Thread Lift
-
You may experience minor swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days
-
Most patients return to work and daily routines immediately
-
Over 4 to 8 months, the threads dissolve naturally as collagen continues to rebuild the skin
There is minimal downtime, making it an excellent alternative to surgical facelifts.
Expected Results
-
Some improvement is visible immediately after treatment
-
Final results develop gradually over the following weeks as collagen increases
-
Expect a firmer jawline, smoother cheeks, and a rejuvenated facial contour
-
Results typically last up to 3 years, and the procedure can be safely repeated as needed
PDO Thread Lift offers a nonsurgical path to youthful skin—without scars or recovery delays.
