PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a safe, medical-grade material used in surgical sutures. When inserted into the skin, they act as a supportive scaffold that immediately lifts sagging tissue. Over time, the body absorbs the threads while stimulating collagen production, which helps maintain a firmer, smoother look naturally.

Medically reviewed by our trusted team of providers.
To minimize bruising, avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and high-intensity workouts for 1 day before your visit. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products. During your consultation, let us know about any medical conditions, supplements, or recent procedures so we can personalize your care plan.
Once your appointment is complete, there are a few steps you need to take to care for your skin. Avoid facial massage, exaggerated expressions, and intense activity for several days to allow the threads to settle properly. We may also advise sleeping on your back and elevating your head. Applying ice packs and following any post-treatment guidance we provide supports smooth healing and optimal results.
Absolutely! Threads pair well with neurotoxins to soften expression lines, dermal fillers for volume enhancement, and energy-based treatments like Ultherapy to further tighten the skin. At Midtowne, we often combine threads with complementary procedures in a phased approach for more comprehensive, refined outcomes.
Yes, because our team places threads with careful attention to facial anatomy and symmetry. The lift is subtle and soft—not frozen or artificial. As collagen builds, your skin gains structure gradually, preserving your authentic appearance while subtly enhancing definition and contour.
