Overview

PDO Thread Lifting

South Bay non-surgical lifting for jawline, cheeks, brows, and neck

Thread lifting uses absorbable sutures to reposition soft tissue and stimulate fresh collagen; consequently, it refines contours without surgery. Because we place threads through tiny entry points and follow planned vector lines, you see a subtle lift right away. Over the next few months, collagen remodeling strengthens support, and the result looks progressively smoother and more defined.

Our Torrance clinic serves Redondo Beach, Gardena, Lomita, Carson, Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and San Pedro. In addition, we tailor thread type, count, and vector to your anatomy and timeline so your lift appears natural and balanced.

At a Glance: 30–60 minute visit • Local anesthetic • Minimal social downtime • Immediate lift plus collagen remodeling • Results evolve over months • Complimentary consultation • Call (844) 759-6757

About the treatment

What is a thread lift

How it works

First, we plan vectors that match your lift goals; then, absorbable sutures glide beneath the skin along those paths. As we anchor and gently tighten, tissue elevates; meanwhile, your body begins to lay new collagen around the threads. As a result, support improves even after the sutures dissolve.

Comfort and downtime

  • ◽️ Because we use local anesthetic, placement stays comfortable.
  • ◽️ Afterwards, expect temporary swelling, tenderness, or mild puckering that settles naturally.
  • ◽️ Nevertheless, most patients resume light activity within 24–48 hours.

Common treatment areas

  • ◽️ Cheeks and midface support for refreshed volume balance
  • ◽️ Jawline definition to soften early jowling
  • ◽️ Brow support and selective neck refinement

Who it is best for

  • ◽️ If you have mild–moderate laxity and prefer no surgery
  • ◽️ If you want a subtle, natural lift that improves gradually
  • ◽️ If brief social downtime fits your schedule

About the technology

Thread types and our approach

PDO and PLLA options

We primarily use PDO threads—smooth, screw, and barbed “cog” designs—for lift and collagen support. When appropriate, we also offer suspension sutures such as Silhouette InstaLift® (PLLA/PLGA cones). In either case, we select devices and techniques that align with labeling and current evidence.

Placement precision

Before we place threads, we map lift vectors and anchor points; then we fine-tune tension to balance elevation with a soft, natural expression. Consequently, results look refined rather than over-tight.

Regulatory notes

Suture materials carry specific FDA clearances as medical sutures; aesthetic indications vary by product. For example, Silhouette InstaLift® holds FDA clearance for mid-face tissue approximation. Therefore, we match technique to device labeling and follow evidence-based protocols.

Why choose Skin Works

Beyond placement, we document your baseline, guide aftercare, and schedule follow-ups; as a result, we keep outcomes consistent and aligned with your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tap on a question to see the answer

Does PDO thread lift work?

what is a non-surgical facelift with threads?

A non-surgical facelift with threads uses absorbable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face. The procedure is minimally invasive and can produce visible results, with effects lasting several months to a few years. Consult a licensed professional to determine if it's right for you.

does pdo thread hurt?

Thread lifts can cause discomfort during the procedure, but most people describe the sensation as minimal to moderate. The level of pain experienced during a thread lift can vary depending on the individual and the type of thread used. Some threads, such as those made of Polydioxanone (PDO), are designed to produce minimal discomfort during the procedure.

What can I expect during a thread lift?

The threads are inserted via blunt-tip needles, called cannulas or sharp-tipped needles. Once inserted into the appropriate layer of skin, they act as anchors as the skin is lifted upwards. Then, the excess threads are cut off.

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment takes between 45-70 minutes.

Will I need time to recover from thread lifting?

You might want to take the rest of the afternoon off due to the soreness and mild swelling that may occur. There is a slight chance of bruising. You will need to sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on your face.

When will I start seeing results from PDO lift?

There is immediate improvement seen with a visible lift in the areas treated. This will improve over 2-6 months as new collagen grows between the threads, giving further lift and tightening to the skin.

How long does a PDO lift last?

Most of our clients enjoy satisfactory results after just one treatment. We recommend a second appointment six to nine months after your first treatment so we can determine if you need a follow-up treatment. After that, you shouldn’t need another treatment for 1-2 years.

What are PDO threads?

PDO threads, short for Polydioxanone threads, are medical-grade sutures used in cosmetic procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and body. The threads are made of a synthetic absorbable material widely used in medical sutures, designed to dissolve over time as the body absorbs them.
