PDO Thread Lift
Subtle Lifting & Natural-Looking Rejuvenation
Request a ConsultationA More Natural Way to Lift and Rejuvenate
As collagen naturally declines over time, the cheeks, jawline, and neck may gradually lose definition. PDO Threads offer a minimally invasive way to create subtle lift while encouraging your skin’s own collagen production.
Rather than changing the way you look, PDO Threads are designed to support your natural facial contours and improve skin firmness over time. At MD Touch, every treatment begins with a thoughtful consultation and facial assessment to determine whether PDO Threads alone—or in combination with other aesthetic treatments—are the right fit for your goals.
Whether you are noticing early skin laxity or looking to restore more refined facial definition without surgery, our physician-led team creates a customized treatment plan focused on balanced, natural-looking results.

How PDO Threads Work
PDO Threads are absorbable sutures strategically placed beneath the skin to provide support while encouraging your body's natural collagen response. The goal is not to dramatically change your features, but to create subtle refinement where facial support has begun to diminish.
Strategic Placement
Threads are carefully positioned according to your facial anatomy, areas of laxity and individual aesthetic goals.
Immediate Support
Depending on the type of thread selected, treatment can provide subtle structural support and improved definition in targeted areas.
Collagen Renewal
As the absorbable material gradually dissolves, the body's natural healing response supports new collagen formation around the treated area.
The type, number and placement of PDO Threads are customized during your consultation—not selected from a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
What Can PDO Threads Treat?
Facial aging does not happen in just one area. Changes in collagen, skin elasticity, and underlying support can gradually affect the cheeks, jawline, lower face, and neck.
PDO Threads can be strategically placed to address selected areas where subtle support or improved definition may enhance your natural facial contours.
Cheeks & Mid-Face
Carefully placed threads may provide subtle support to areas where facial volume and tissue have begun to descend.
Jawline
Treatment can help create a more defined transition between the lower face and neck when mild skin laxity begins to soften the jawline.
Lower Face
PDO Threads may help support areas around the lower cheeks and early jowling for a subtly refreshed facial contour.
Neck & Under-Chin
In carefully selected patients, threads may be used to improve the appearance of mild laxity and support smoother-looking contours.
Not every area needs to be treated.
Your treatment plan is based on facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, and your personal goals. In some cases, PDO Threads may be combined with injectables, collagen-stimulating treatments, or energy-based procedures for a more comprehensive approach.
Lift Threads vs Smooth Threads
PDO thread treatments are not one-size-fits-all. Different thread designs may be selected depending on whether the goal is subtle structural support, improved definition, collagen stimulation, or a combination of these approaches.
Lift Threads
Lifting threads are designed to provide controlled support beneath the skin and may help improve definition in areas affected by mild to moderate tissue laxity.
- Jawline definition
- Lower-face support
- Cheek and mid-face refinement
- Subtle lifting of selected areas
Smooth Threads
Smooth PDO threads are generally used to support collagen production and improve the appearance of skin quality over time rather than create a lifting effect.
- Skin firmness
- Fine texture refinement
- Collagen stimulation
- Support for delicate treatment areas
Your treatment may include one approach—or both.
The type, number, and placement of PDO Threads are determined by your facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals. Some patients may benefit from combining different thread techniques within the same treatment plan.
The goal is not more threads. It is the right strategy.
Your MD Touch consultation focuses on selecting the approach that best complements your features and supports natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

PDO Threads FAQ
Understanding what to expect is an important part of deciding whether PDO Threads are right for you.
What are PDO Threads?
PDO Threads are absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin to provide support and stimulate the body's natural collagen response. Depending on the type of thread used, treatment may focus on subtle lifting, improved definition, collagen support, or a combination of these goals.
How long do PDO Thread results last?
Results vary based on the type of threads used, treatment area, skin quality, facial anatomy, age, and individual healing response. The threads gradually dissolve, while collagen remodeling may continue to support the treated area over time.
Will PDO Threads make me look dramatically different?
PDO Threads are generally used for subtle refinement rather than a dramatic transformation. At MD Touch, treatment planning focuses on supporting your natural facial contours and creating balanced, age-appropriate results.
What areas can be treated with PDO Threads?
Depending on your anatomy and goals, PDO Threads may be considered for areas such as the cheeks, mid-face, lower face, jawline, under-chin area, and neck. Treatment areas are selected during your consultation.
What is the difference between lifting threads and smooth threads?
Lifting threads are designed to provide structural support and contour refinement, while smooth threads are generally used to encourage collagen production and improve skin quality. Some treatment plans may incorporate both approaches.
Is there downtime after PDO Threads?
Some swelling, tenderness, bruising, tightness, or temporary irregularity can occur after treatment. Recovery varies by patient and by the extent of treatment. Your provider will review specific aftercare instructions with you.
When will I see results?
Some patients may notice support or contour changes soon after treatment, while collagen-related improvements develop more gradually. Results continue to evolve as swelling settles and the tissue responds.
Can PDO Threads be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Depending on your goals, PDO Threads may be incorporated into a broader rejuvenation plan that includes injectables, collagen-stimulating treatments, skin treatments, or energy-based procedures. Timing and treatment sequence should be personalized by your provider.
How do I know if PDO Threads are right for me?
The best way to determine candidacy is through a personalized consultation. Your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, medical history, and desired outcome before recommending treatment.
