PDO Thread Lifts Boston
PDO Threads are dissolvable sutures that are placed under the skin to lift and tighten areas of the face, neck, and body. Over time, these threads stimulate collagen production, enhancing your skin’s firmness and elasticity. The result is a natural-looking lift that continues to improve even after the threads dissolve. They offer a temporary solution. Often combined with a small amount of fillers and botulinum toxin to obtain full facial rejuvenation.

How Does PDO Thread Lifting Work?
The procedure involves the strategic placement of PDO threads beneath the skin using a fine needle. These threads are gently pulled to lift the skin, repositioning sagging tissue and improving facial contours. Over the next few months, the body’s natural healing response kicks in, producing collagen around the threads, which further enhances the tightening and lifting effect.

We use several different types of PDO threads such as Mint threads which are absorbable sutures that work by inducing collagen and strengthening the loose skin.
Why Mint PDO threads?
Mint threads—They are hypodermic needles/ cannulas which are preloaded with PDO absorbable suture. The PDO threads are excellent choices for a variety of skin conditions such as wrinkles, sagging, scars, large pores, stretch marks, and cellulite. These are inserted into the skin with a pre-loaded needle or a cannula at the subdermal level. They are mostly used as a suspension device rather than lifting by repositioning the excessive tissue. The PDO threads are not permanent, are an alternative for a facelift or neck lift, and they will be absorbed in 4-6 months. During this time, the body will react to the foreign body and stimulate collagen synthesis. The new collagen structures formed will hold for another 12 months!
Why PDO Thread Lift is NOT a True Surgical Facelift?
A PDO Thread lifting helps with the reposition of subcutaneous fat, & stimulates collagen by foreign body reaction. It is a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment for loose, sagging skin, ideal for those who are not yet ready for a facelift or neck lift. It’s essential to note that you must be a suitable candidate for this procedure. Our board-certified physician performs all the thread lift procedures after a thorough evaluation at ShanthalaMD.
