PDO Threadlift
Lift. Tighten. Turn Back the Clock—No Scalpel Required.
You’ve done the serums. You’ve tried the facials. But when your skin needs real lift—without going under the knife—it’s time to thread the line between subtle and stunning. At Pur Aesthetics and Wellness in Granger, IN, our PDO threadlift isn’t just a non-surgical facelift—it’s your skin’s quiet comeback story. Sculpted. Supportive. And refreshingly real.
What Is PDO Threadlift?
A PDO threadlift is a non-surgical facelift that uses absorbable threads made from polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and support the skin from beneath the surface. These threads are FDA-cleared and have been safely used in medical procedures for decades. When carefully inserted by an experienced provider, they provide an instant lifting effect while also stimulating your body’s own collagen production for long-term firming and rejuvenation.
PDO threads are popular because they deliver real lift without incisions, scarring, or a lengthy recovery. For many, it’s the ideal middle ground between skincare and surgery.
What Can PDO Threadlift Treat?
PDO threadlifts are versatile and effective for treating multiple areas of the face and neck. Common concerns we treat include:
- Sagging cheeks (midface thread lift)
- Jowls and jawline definition (jawline thread lift)
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Sagging skin around the neck
- Eyebrow lift
- PDO thread lift for jowls
How It Works
PDO threads are strategically inserted into the subdermal layer of skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once in place, they anchor into the tissue and are gently pulled to reposition and lift sagging skin.
But the real magic happens afterward: as the threads dissolve naturally over 4-6 months, they trigger your body to produce fresh collagen in the treated area. This collagen stimulation with PDO threads is what helps sustain the lift and improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity over time.
PDO Threadlift Benefits
Immediate Lift, Long-Term Rejuvenation
Unlike creams or treatments that take weeks to show results, a PDO threadlift gives you visible lifting effects immediately. And thanks to collagen stimulation, those improvements continue to develop and hold.
No Scalpel, No Downtime
Looking for a facelift without surgery? This is it. There are no incisions, no general anesthesia, and no extended recovery period—just a quick in-office treatment with minimal disruption to your routine.
Natural-Looking Results
There’s no “pulled” or overdone look here. We use precise, artistic placement to enhance your natural contours and restore youthful structure—not replace it.
Customized to You
Whether you’re looking for a subtle lift or a more dramatic refresh, we tailor each threadlift to your unique facial structure, skin condition, and goals. Our team takes time to map out exactly where your lift will make the biggest impact.
Encourages Your Body to Do the Work
PDO threads don’t just lift; they train your skin to stay lifted. As they dissolve, your body lays down fresh collagen to maintain support long after the threads are gone.
Complements Other Treatments
PDO threadlifts work beautifully alongside other non-invasive options like filler, neurotoxins, and laser treatments. It’s a perfect piece of your full-face rejuvenation plan.
PDO Threadlift Treatment Process: What To Expect
Before
Your journey starts with a one-on-one consultation. We assess your skin, discuss your goals, and design a personalized threadlift map that aligns with your features and desired outcome. You may be advised to avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, or certain supplements a few days before the procedure.
During
The procedure takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. We start with a topical numbing agent and, in some cases, local anesthetic for added comfort. PDO threads are then gently inserted beneath the skin and adjusted to create the desired lift. Most clients describe the sensation as pressure or tugging, but not pain.
After
Expect some mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the first few days—all completely normal. Most clients return to daily activities within 24-48 hours. We’ll send you home with simple aftercare tips to ensure optimal healing and results.
Results Timeline
You’ll notice an instant lift right after treatment, but the real magic unfolds over the next 6-12 weeks as collagen production increases. Results typically last 12-18 months depending on your age, skin quality, and lifestyle. Maintenance sessions may be recommended yearly to keep everything beautifully supported.
Am I a Good Candidate for PDO Threadlift?
If you’re starting to notice sagging skin, loss of firmness, or jowling—but aren’t ready (or interested) in surgery—you may be a perfect candidate. Ideal clients are typically in their 30s to 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity. If you’re in good general health and have realistic expectations, PDO threads could be a powerful part of your skin-tightening plan.
Clients with severe skin laxity or certain autoimmune conditions may not be ideal candidates. That’s why a personalized consultation is essential.
Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How long does a PDO thread lift last?
Most results last between 12 to 18 months. The longevity depends on the type of threads used, your skin condition, and how your body responds to collagen stimulation. Annual touch-ups can help maintain your results over time.
What is PDO thread lift recovery time like?
Recovery is minimal. You may experience some swelling or bruising, which usually resolves within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities within 1-2 days post-treatment.
What does a face thread lift before and after look like?
Expect a noticeable lift and improved definition—especially around the jawline and midface. Before and after photos often show restored facial contours, smoother skin, and a more refreshed, youthful appearance.
Are PDO threads safe?
Yes, PDO threads are made from a biocompatible material safely used in medical sutures for decades. They dissolve naturally and are well-tolerated by most clients.
Thread lift vs facelift: which is better?
It depends on your goals. A PDO threadlift is ideal for those wanting a subtle, natural lift without the risks, downtime, or commitment of surgery. A traditional facelift may be better suited for advanced aging or dramatic transformation.
How much does a thread lift cost?
Pricing varies depending on the number of threads used and the treatment area. During your consultation, we’ll provide a customized quote tailored to your needs.
