Understanding PDO Thread Lift – What It Is and How It Works
A PDO Thread Lift is a cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable polydioxanone threads to lift and firm sagging facial or neck skin. These threads are carefully inserted under the skin to provide structural support while stimulating collagen production.
As the barbed threads dissolve over time, they naturally improve skin elasticity, texture, and volume, giving subtle yet long-lasting results without the need for surgery. Learn more about our clinic and treatments on our homepage.

Key Benefits of PDO Thread Lift at The Real Skin
A PDO Thread Lift offers multiple benefits: minimal downtime, natural-looking results, and noticeable lifting of sagging areas like the jawline, cheeks, and brows, particularly when using cog threads. You can enjoy improved skin tone, firmness, and a youthful glow without undergoing surgery, especially with the help of cog threads.
At The Real Skin, we customize each treatment based on your skin’s condition and aesthetic goals to ensure the most flattering results. You can also schedule a consultation to discuss your needs and explore the options for using cog threads in your treatment plan.
PDO Threads vs. Fillers and Botox – What’s the Difference?
PDO threads physically lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen, while fillers add volume and Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles, enhancing overall skin texture. Using them in combination can amplify results and achieve a more youthful appearance.
During your consultation, we’ll help you understand which treatments or combination will deliver the best results for your facial structure and goals.

Areas of the Face and Neck We Treat with PDO Threads
PDO threads, including cog threads, can lift and firm several areas, including the jawline, cheeks, brows, and neck. We also treat sagging mid-face areas and subtle lines around the mouth to restore balance and facial harmony.
Every treatment is tailored to your unique facial structure to ensure natural, proportionate results that complement your features.
Step-by-Step Guide to PDO Thread Lift Procedure
Before the procedure, our team conducts a detailed consultation to assess your skin and design a treatment plan. Local anesthesia is applied to minimize discomfort during cosmetic surgery procedures.
Threads are carefully inserted under the skin and adjusted to achieve a precise lift. The procedure usually takes 45–60 minutes, and you can return home the same day with immediate improvements.
Recovery and Aftercare – What to Expect After Your PDO Thread Lift
Recovery is generally mild and brief, especially when using polylactic acid. Most clients experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising for a few days, which gradually resolves.
We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support healing, including avoiding strenuous activities and following gentle skincare routines. Proper aftercare ensures optimal results and long-lasting lift in the treated areas.
