Contact UsWhat Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are FDA approved biodegradable threads made from Polydioxanone, a material used safely in orthopedics, cardiovascular surgery, and plastic surgery for almost 30 years. They are safe and have very few side effects but many benefits! Once the Polydioxanone thread is inserted the presence of the PDO thread will stimulate the body to enhance metabolism and blood flow to the treated area, which will induce collagen neogensis surrounding the PDO thread. Once the PDO thread is completely broken down by the body (typically 6 months), it will leave behind new physical support that was naturally produced by your body where the thread once was. PDO threads come in two different forms; lifting and smooth.
At Brisa Aesthetics, a PDO thread lift is a nonsurgical option that elevates and tightens loose skin. Thread lifting is, in many cases, an excellent choice for patients who may be unsure about getting a facelift operation, even though they still would like to diminish the signs of aging, such as lines, creases, and sagging skin. Nurse practitioner Briana Torrey uses PDO collagen threads (also called polydioxanone threads), which are professional-grade sutures passed within the epidermis to promote collagen formation and provide an instant lift. PDO threads elevate, secure, and lift droopy skin and laugh lines, promote collagen and elastin production to tighten the skin from the inside, enhance skin texture and elasticity, treat fine lines and wrinkles, and achieve a tighter contour in the treated area. Generally known as a "lunchtime facelift," a thread lift will not comprise a significant recuperation period.
The utilization of PDO threads offers a spectrum of benefits centered around neocollagenesis, which involves stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and natural hyaluronic acid. This process contributes to a notable enhancement in skin elasticity and hydration. Beyond this, PDO threads promote increased cell metabolism and skin metabolism, thereby delaying the aging process of the skin. PDO threads also facilitate surrounding tissue adhesion and anchoring, which results in reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Notably, PDO threads induce the regeneration of both skin and subcutaneous tissue, fostering a comprehensive and rejuvenating impact on the treated areas. Overall, these multifaceted benefits position PDO threads as a versatile and effective option for achieving a more youthful and revitalized skin complexion.

How Does A PDO Thread Lift Work?
A PDO thread lift is a brief treatment that lasts around 60 minutes. Before the thread lift treatment, a staff member will consult with you to ascertain what type of PDO threads to use, how many to administer, and the placement to achieve your ideal improvements.
The whole treatment will be done but injection only, no cuts or incisions. Nurse Practitioner Briana Torrey will apply local anesthetic to numb the treatment regions and ensure you are comfortable. The PDO threads will be inserted via a blunt tip needle (cannula). The PDO threads are inside of the cannulas. Cannulas are used as they improve patient safety and reduce bruising by reducing the puncturing of vessels that cause bleeding. Once Briana places the PDO threads in place the thread is carefully stretched to create an elevated look and natural appearance and the PDO thread is engaged and the cannula is removed.
There is little to no downtime, in fact most clients are able to return to work the following day.
PDO Threads Reviews
I was having issues with loose skin around my face after losing 30 pounds. I wasn’t quite sure what to do as I was told that fillers would not help. I did a Google search and came across Brisa Aesthetics. I saw that Brisa offered PDO threads. I heard about them but didn’t really KNOW about them. I easily made a consultation appointment online to meet with Briana. First impression, Briana was so positive and welcoming and very professional. We discussed my concerns and I was so appreciative for her honesty and patience. She made suggestions on what would work and what wouldn’t. I knew then I found the right person for my procedure. The whole process was painless. Briana made sure I was comfortable at all times. She made sure that an experience that “could be scary”, was actually pleasant. Once done, you could see the results immediately! I was THRILLED. Truly, I look at least 10 years younger. My friends cannot believe the change. I can’t thank Briana enough!
