A Minimally Invasive Solution
for Skin Tightening and Lifting
As skin elasticity changes over time, it’s common to experience sagging in different areas of the face and body. PDO thread lift treatments provide a minimally invasive way to tighten loose skin, improving skin texture and tone without the need for surgery.
By using PDO threads, this treatment works beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production, helping to create firmer, more lifted skin over time. Whether targeting sagging skin around the jawline, neck, or mid-face, threads are used to provide structural support while encouraging the body’s natural collagen stimulation.
What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that provides structural support to areas affected by sagging skin. The treatment involves placing fine, absorbable PDO threads beneath the skin to offer immediate support and encourage collagen production over time. As the threads naturally dissolve, the skin responds by producing new collagen, helping to maintain a firmer, more lifted appearance.
This treatment is commonly used to address mild to moderate skin laxity in areas such as the jawline, cheeks and neck, but it can also be applied to other areas of the face and body where skin tightening is desired.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
PDO threads can be used almost anywhere. The most popular areas to treat are:
- Frown Lines
- Horizontal Forehead Lines
- Hollow Cheeks
- Crepey/Saggy Cheeks
- Upper Lip Lines (smokers lines)
- Chin/Neck Lift
- Nasolabial Folds
- Marionette Lines
- Tear Troughs
- Crows Feet
- Brow Lift
- Other areas include: Saggy Knees or a Butt Lift!
How Do PDO Threads Work?
The PDO thread lift procedure works by introducing fine threads beneath the skin’s surface to create a supportive structure. These threads help to gently reposition loose skin, while also triggering the body’s natural healing response. Over the following weeks and months, collagen stimulation occurs, improving skin texture, skin tone and elasticity.
As the threads dissolve naturally, the skin-firming effects continue, offering long-term benefits beyond the initial lift. This gradual process results in smoother, firmer skin, with improvements becoming more noticeable over time.
What Are the Benefits of a PDO Thread Lift?
- Lifts and tightens loose skin
- Stimulates collagen production for lasting results Enhances skin elasticity and structure
- Improves skin tone and skin texture
- Minimally invasive with a short recovery period Provides gradual, natural-looking improvements
PDO Thread Lift Procedure
at Prophile Clinics
Consultation
Before your PDO thread lift procedure, you will have a consultation with one of our highly trained professionals. This allows us to assess your skin concerns, review your medical history and develop a tailored treatment plan. We will also discuss preparation, aftercare and expected results.
Procedure
The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on the treatment areas. A specialist-strength numbing gel is applied to enhance comfort. Fine PDO threads are then placed beneath the skin to provide structural support and stimulate collagen production.
Results
Some lifting effects may be visible immediately, while collagen stimulation continues to improve skin tone, elasticity and texture over the following weeks. Results gradually develop as the skin strengthens, with improvements lasting several months.
Post-Appointment Care
- Avoid exercise for at least 48 hours
- Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected as the threads settle
- It is normal to experience puckering of the skin, as well as occasional twangs or twinges during the healing process
- A face support band must be worn for a minimum of 48 hours post-procedure to aid recovery
- Avoid strenuous facial movements for the first few days
- Keep the skin hydrated and protected from sun exposure
- Avoid deep exfoliation treatments or active skincare ingredients (such as retinol) for 7-10 days
- Use cool water when cleansing the skin and gently pat dry
The results of a PDO thread lift continue to improve over time as collagen production strengthens the skin’s structure and enhances firmness.
Are There Any Risks?
As with any cosmetic procedure, some temporary side effects may occur, including:
- Mild swelling and bruising
- Skin sensitivity
- Temporary discomfort
These effects are usually mild and resolve naturally. Full aftercare guidance will be provided to ensure optimal healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any more questions about PDO thread lifts or any of our other services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find more FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
How long does a PDO thread lift last?
Results from a PDO threads treatment can last 12 to 18 months, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle and collagen production. Over time, the threads dissolve, but the skin continues to benefit from the collagen stimulation they trigger.
Can PDO threads be used for subtle improvements?
Yes, PDO mono threads are often used for skin rejuvenation rather than lifting. They help to stimulate collagen, improving skin texture and elasticity without significantly repositioning tissue.
How soon will I see the results?
Some lifting effects may be visible immediately, but the most noticeable improvements develop over weeks to months as collagen forms. The skin continues to tighten and firm over time.
Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Most people can resume daily activities within a few days, though some swelling or bruising may occur. Following aftercare instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery.
Who is a good candidate for PDO threads?
This treatment is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity looking to lift sagging skin without surgery. A consultation with one of our highly experienced professionals can determine if it aligns with your goals.
