NDA Thread Lift
The PDO Thread Lift at NDA Medical Spa™ is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment that lifts, tightens, and rejuvenates sagging skin with minimal downtime. Using Polydioxanone (PDO) threads—absorbable, biocompatible sutures—the procedure provides immediate lifting and long-term collagen stimulation. Ideal for facial rejuvenation and other target areas, PDO threads offer a natural-looking alternative to traditional facelifts.
What Is a Polydioxanone (PDO) Thread Lift?
A PDO Thread Lift uses special dissolvable threads inserted just beneath the skin to lift and support sagging areas. These threads stimulate collagen production, resulting in improved skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. Over time, as the threads dissolve, collagen continues to maintain the lifted structure for long-lasting results.
Benefits of PDO Threads
- Instant Lift: Provides an immediate tightening effect.
- Collagen Stimulation: Enhances skin’s natural elasticity and strength.
- Non-Invasive: Minimally invasive alternative to a traditional facelift.
- No Downtime: Quick recovery with minimal side effects.
- Natural Results: Delivers subtle, youthful results without looking “overdone.”
Risks and Side Effects
PDO Thread Lifting is generally safe, but like all treatments, it comes with minor potential side effects:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Mild discomfort or tenderness at the insertion sites
- Minimal risk of infection
At NDA Medical Spa™, our experienced practitioners ensure the highest safety standards for all PDO treatments.
Ideal Treatment Areas
PDO threads can be used to lift and tighten several areas:
- Face: Cheeks, jowls, and brows
- Neck: Tightens sagging skin for a smoother appearance
- Jawline: Creates definition and contours
- Other: Can be used on body areas needing mild lifting
How Long Do PDO Thread Lifts Last?
PDO Thread Lifts typically last 12-18 months, depending on individual skin type, age, and collagen production. As the threads dissolve, collagen production continues, supporting prolonged results and gradual improvements in skin texture.
PDO Thread Lift Procedure
- Consultation: Discuss your goals, assess suitability, and customize a treatment plan.
- Preparation: Local anesthetic is applied for comfort.
- Thread Insertion: PDO threads are inserted under the skin, where they lift and support tissue.
- Immediate Results: Noticeable lift and tightening can be seen right after the procedure.
The entire process usually takes about 30-45 minutes.
PDO Thread Lift Aftercare
- Avoid Makeup and Excessive Touching: For at least 24 hours.
- Limit Facial Movements: For a few days to let the threads settle.
- Avoid Heavy Exercise: Give the treatment time to heal without excessive motion.
- Follow-Up: Return for a post-treatment consultation to assess progress.
