PDO Thread Lift

pdo threads in Albuquerque, NM

PDO Threads are a minimally invasive treatment used to lift, support, and improve the appearance of sagging skin. This treatment involves the placement of dissolvable threads beneath the skin to provide subtle lifting while encouraging the body’s natural collagen response. PDO Threads are often chosen by patients seeking a non surgical option for facial rejuvenation.

At Pink Mountain Wellness in Albuquerque, NM, PDO Thread treatments are carefully customized to each individual’s facial structure and aesthetic goals. Our approach focuses on natural looking lift and support, with treatment plans designed to enhance facial balance without creating an overcorrected appearance.

How pdo threads Work

PDO Threads are made from polydioxanone, a material commonly used in medical sutures. Once placed beneath the skin, the threads provide immediate structural support while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen production as they gradually dissolve.

Over time, the threads are absorbed by the body, leaving behind collagen that helps maintain improved skin firmness and support. This process allows results to develop gradually and fade naturally.

What PDO Threads Treat

PDO Threads are commonly used to address mild to moderate skin laxity and support facial contours. This treatment can help with:

  • Sagging skin on the cheeks

  • Jawline definition

  • Neck laxity

  • Brow lifting

  • Nasolabial folds

  • Marionette lines

  • Loss of facial support

PDO Threads may also be used preventatively or as part of a maintenance plan to support collagen production and manage early signs of skin laxity.

What to Expect During Treatment

A PDO Thread appointment typically lasts 45 to 75 minutes. After numbing the treatment area, threads are carefully placed beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas, with placement customized to your anatomy and goals.

Downtime is generally minimal. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur and typically resolves within several days. Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment with a few temporary precautions.

When You Will See Results

Some lifting and support is visible immediately after treatment. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

PDO Thread results typically last several months to over a year, depending on the type of threads used and individual factors. Maintenance treatments help preserve results and support ongoing collagen stimulation.
