About the Treatment

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

A PDO (polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine, dissolvable sutures to physically lift and reposition sagging skin. The same biocompatible material has been used in surgical sutures for decades, making it a proven, safe option for facial rejuvenation.

At Naya Wellness in Chatsworth, our trained aesthetic providers insert the threads beneath the skin using thin needles. Once in place, the threads create an immediate lifting effect by repositioning the underlying soft tissue. Over the following weeks, the threads stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin — further improving skin firmness and texture.

Unlike a surgical facelift, PDO threads require no incisions, no general anesthesia, and no extended recovery. Most patients return to normal activities the same day or the following morning.

“PDO threads address the foundational cause of facial aging — volume loss and tissue descent — while activating the skin’s own regenerative mechanisms.”

What to Expect

How the Procedure Works

  • Consultation: Your provider maps your facial anatomy and recommends the optimal thread placement pattern for your goals.
  • Numbing: Topical anesthetic is applied and local anesthesia is administered at insertion points for your comfort.
  • Thread Insertion: Fine barbed or smooth threads are passed beneath the skin using a thin cannula or needle — no cutting required.
  • Lift & Secure: Threads are anchored and the tissue is gently repositioned, immediately visible in the mirror.
  • Collagen Activation: Over 4–6 weeks, your body’s collagen response continues to improve firmness, texture, and contour.
  • Dissolution: Threads dissolve completely within 6–8 months — leaving only new collagen behind.

Why PDO Threads

The Advantages of Non-Surgical Lifting

PDO threads deliver real, measurable lifting results — without the risk, cost, or downtime of surgery.

No Surgery Required

PDO threads provide real lifting without incisions, general anesthesia, or surgical scars — making them suitable for patients who want results without surgical risk or recovery.

Minimal Downtime

Most patients return to work and social activities within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling and tenderness resolve within a few days, leaving a refreshed, natural appearance.

Immediate & Progressive Results

You’ll see a visible lift immediately after treatment. Results continue improving over 4–6 weeks as collagen production increases — with benefits lasting 12–18 months.

Natural-Looking Lift

Because threads work with your anatomy rather than adding volume, results look refreshed and natural — never overdone. Friends notice you look well-rested, not “worked on.”

Stimulates Collagen

The PDO material triggers a controlled healing response, boosting collagen and elastin synthesis. This improves skin quality and firmness beyond the thread lift itself.

A PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical facelift using dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissue. The threads provide immediate mechanical lifting while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for longer-lasting skin improvements. The PDO material has been used in surgical sutures for decades and is fully absorbed by the body over 6–8 months.

Pricing depends on the number of threads used and the treatment areas addressed. Every face is unique, so we provide personalized quotes during your consultation at our Chatsworth clinic. Members of our Aesthetic Membership Plans receive preferred pricing on treatments. Contact us to learn more about our Advanced and Elite plans.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. We apply topical numbing cream 20–30 minutes before the procedure and administer local anesthesia at the entry points. During treatment you may feel mild pressure or a slight tugging sensation — most patients find this entirely tolerable. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes.

Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. You can expect mild swelling, tenderness, and occasional minor bruising for the first few days. For the first week, we recommend: avoiding strenuous exercise, not sleeping on your face, skipping facial massage, and using a gentle skincare routine. Most patients are comfortable attending social events within 5–7 days.

You’ll see an immediate lift after treatment. Results continue improving over 4–6 weeks as your collagen response builds. The threads dissolve within 6–8 months, but the collagen and elastin they stimulate maintain the lifting effect for 12–18 months — sometimes longer. Maintenance threads can extend your results indefinitely. Lifestyle factors like sun protection and skincare quality also influence longevity.

PDO threads work best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical lift. Ideal candidates are generally between 30–65 years old and in good overall health. They are not recommended for patients with very thin skin, severe sun damage, active skin infections, or those who require the degree of correction only a surgical facelift can provide. Your Naya provider will assess your candidacy at your Chatsworth consultation.

Absolutely. PDO threads pair exceptionally well with Botox, Daxxify, dermal fillers, microneedling, and CO2 fractional laser for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan. Your Naya provider will design a personalized treatment protocol aligned with your goals and budget.

PDO threads have an excellent safety profile when performed by a trained provider. Common, temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, and minor skin puckering. These resolve within days to weeks. Rare risks include infection, thread visibility, or asymmetry — all of which are minimized by provider skill and post-care adherence. We review all risks thoroughly at your consultation.
