PDO Thread Lifts

Dissolvable threads to lift sagging skin

PDO thread lifts provide a minimally invasive lift, skin tightening, and collagen boost with minimal downtime, making them a compelling alternative to surgical facelifts for early to moderate aging. Results are natural, dynamic, and long-lasting when performed by qualified practitioners.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are biodegradable surgical sutures inserted beneath the skin via micro-needles or cannulas. Some are barbed or coned to grip tissue and provide an immediate lifting effect, while the threads also stimulate collagen and elastin production as they dissolve over ~6–9 months. Collagen remodeling continues after absorption, helping maintain skin firmness.
Commonly targeted areas include:
- Jowls and jawline
- Cheeks, mid-face
- Brow, under-eyes, neck, décolletage

Best suited for adults aged 35–65 with moderate skin laxity, good skin tone, and realistic expectations. Not suitable if skin is overly loose or drooping fat predominates.
PDO threads dissolve naturally. While the structural lift remains via collagen, threads cannot be removed once integrated.

Expected side effects include swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Rare complications: thread migration, visible threads in thin skin, dimpling, nerve irritation, infection, or thread extrusion. These are rare with a skilled injector.
Pricing typically starts around AUD 2,500–3,500, depending on number of threads and treated areas.
