Treatment Overview
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are biodegradable threads made from polydioxanone, a material that has been used in medical procedures for many years. Once inserted beneath the skin, the presence of the thread can help support tissue repositioning while encouraging the body’s own collagen response in the treated area.
As the thread gradually dissolves over time, it leaves behind support created by your body’s natural response around it. PDO threads are available in different forms, including lifting and smooth threads, depending on your anatomy and goals.
Why Patients Choose PDO Threads
At Brisa Aesthetics, PDO threads are used as a nonsurgical option to elevate and tighten loose skin. For many patients, they create an ideal middle ground between injectables and more invasive surgical procedures.
PDO threads may help lift drooping skin, soften smile lines, encourage collagen and elastin support, improve visible skin texture, and support a firmer contour in the treated area.

How It Works
How a PDO Thread Lift Works
The Treatment Process
A PDO thread lift typically takes about 60 minutes. Before treatment, your provider determines how many threads are needed, which type to use, and where they should be placed to create the most natural-looking improvement.
Local anesthetic is used to help keep you comfortable. The threads are inserted with a blunt-tip cannula, which is designed to reduce trauma to the tissue while helping improve precision and safety.
Recovery & Results
Recovery varies and can include swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary irregularities. Follow the specific aftercare and review plan. A thread procedure should not be described as equivalent to a surgical facelift.
In addition to the immediate support created by placement, PDO threads continue working beneath the surface by encouraging collagen production over time. This can help improve tone, elasticity, and overall skin quality as your body responds.
Why Brisa
A Refined Nonsurgical Lifting Option
PDO threads offer benefits centered around collagen support—encouraging the production of collagen, elastin, and natural hyaluronic acid response in the treated tissue. Over time, this can contribute to improved elasticity, hydration, and firmness.
PDO threads also help encourage surrounding tissue support and anchoring, making them a versatile option for patients who want a tighter, more refreshed look without the recovery and commitment of surgery.

FAQ
PDO Threads FAQs
A thread consultation should start with the limits.
PDO threads may be discussed for selected concerns about mild tissue descent or skin support. They do not remove excess skin and do not reproduce a surgical facelift. The distinction matters when deciding whether the likely degree and duration of change justify the procedure, recovery, and cost.
Skin thickness, tissue weight, existing asymmetry, previous fillers or threads, and prior surgery all influence the assessment. Bring those details to your Weymouth consultation and ask what a realistic result would look like for your own face, including the possibility that threads are not the best option.
Clarify the thread type
Smooth threads and lifting threads serve different purposes. Ask which product is proposed, the intended effect, and the relevant clearance or off-label use. The fact that PDO is used in medical sutures does not establish that every cosmetic placement, combination, or claimed result is appropriate.
Allow time for settling
Tenderness, swelling, bruising, dimpling, or a pulling sensation can affect early appearance. Review restrictions on pressure, massage, exercise, dental visits, and facial movement for your specific plan. A short appointment does not mean there is no recovery period or that you will be ready for an event immediately.
Know the follow-up plan
Before leaving, understand when you will be reviewed and who to contact about a concern. A visible or protruding thread, worsening pain, spreading redness, persistent asymmetry, or signs of infection should be assessed. Do not try to adjust or remove a thread yourself.
Threads, filler, and tightening devices have different roles.
Filler may address selected volume and contour concerns. A thread procedure may provide limited tissue support. Energy-based devices aim to change skin appearance through other mechanisms. Combining them is not automatically necessary or safer; each element needs a reason, a sequence, and a separate risk discussion.
Thread-lift risks include infection, persistent pain, thread extrusion, swelling, bruising, and an unfavorable result. Some complications may require additional treatment or removal. Discuss alternatives, including no treatment or a surgical opinion when excess skin is substantial, rather than treating a nonsurgical label as proof of low risk.
A few more things to know.
Explore the details, then bring your own questions to your consultation.
Do the results last as long as a facelift?
No. A thread lift and a surgical facelift differ in the tissues addressed, magnitude of change, recovery, and durability. Ask for an honest comparison based on your degree of laxity rather than a promise of a surgical result without surgery.
Will every thread treatment visibly lift the face?
No. Different thread designs have different purposes, and some are discussed for skin support rather than tissue lifting. Make sure the specific product and intended outcome are clear before proceeding.
Can I have threads immediately before a wedding?
That can leave too little room for swelling, bruising, irregularities, or follow-up. Share the event date before booking. It may be better to postpone a procedure than to rely on a guaranteed recovery deadline.
