PDO Thread Lift in West Palm Beach | Flawless Med Spa
A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical facelift alternative that lifts sagging skin, defines facial contours, and stimulates long-term collagen production using dissolvable medical-grade threads. These FDA-cleared threads are gently inserted beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect while triggering your body's natural collagen response for sustained skin tightening.
PDO threads have been used safely in medicine for decades and are fully biocompatible — your body naturally absorbs them over 4–6 months, leaving behind a framework of new collagen that maintains the lifted, tightened results. Different thread types serve different purposes: Lifting/Barbed threads grip and physically reposition tissue, Smooth threads stimulate collagen along their length, and Twist threads create volume in areas like nasolabial folds.
Treatment areas include: Midface/cheeks, Jawline, Jowls, Neck, Brow, and Nasolabial folds.
Concerns Addressed:
Sagging skin, Jowling, Loss of jawline definition, Midface drooping, Neck laxity, Brow drooping, Nasolabial folds
What to Expect
Before: Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for 7 days. No alcohol 48 hours prior. Arrange transportation home (local anesthesia is used). Arrive with clean skin.
During: The treatment area is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia. Your provider inserts thin, dissolvable PDO threads beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas. You may feel a sensation of mild pressure or tugging. The entire procedure takes 30–60 minutes.
After: Immediate lifting and tightening is visible right away. Results continue to improve over 2–3 months as new collagen builds around each thread. Final results are a natural-looking lift with improved skin quality.
