PDO Thread Lift
PDO Thread Lift
Threadlift, a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment, allows you to achieve an instant, natural looking lift to your face. By gently lifting the skin, this minimally invasive procedure lifts and tightens the face.
Designed to address signs of facial aging seen in skin laxity or loss of facial volume, the procedure helps redefine the facial contours for a more youthful appearance. Thin dissolvable threads or sutures are placed under the skin after using local anesthesia. By gently pulling on the threads, the skin is subtly lifted using micro-suspension technology.
These threads stimulate the body to produce more collagen, improving the skin’s strength, tone and firmness. Increased collagen production gradually restores facial volume and repositions skin in the mid-face area. The results are non-surgical, subtle and effective.

Thread Lift FAQ
Who is a good candidate for a thread lift?
A thread lift procedure is ideal for someone with early signs of aging seen in mild to moderate laugh lines or facial joweling. This procedure does not replace a facelift, which lifts underlying facial muscles and tissue. For someone with severe laxity of facial skin and neck, a facelift would be a better option. During your consultation our experienced injectors will determine if a threadlift procedure will achieve your aesthetic goals.

Are thread lifts safe?
How is a thread lift procedure performed?
Before the procedure begins our injector will assess and mark your face to identify where the sutures will be placed. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic. Using a thin cannula (small blunt straw-like needle), dissolvable sutures are inserted into the skin and gently pulled in the direction the lift should occur. Each suture is interspersed with tiny “cones” that will subtly gather and lift the facial skin. The sutures are small, dissolvable and cannot be felt once the skin has healed around them. The number of sutures used varies, depending on the skin laxity.

How PDO Thread Lifts Work
PDO thread lifts are a non-surgical lifting of the face, that utilize biodegradable, absorbable thread, similar to dissolvable sutures, that are carefully inserted under the skin. These threads create a supportive mesh-like structure, gently lifting and tightening sagging skin.
Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production, which adds volume and elasticity to the skin, enhancing the natural contours of the face. The procedure is minimally invasive, with minimal downtime and discomfort.
At Arsenault Aesthetics, our skilled providers customize each PDO thread lift treatment to address your unique concerns and achieve your desired results.
What to Expect
During your PDO thread lift consultation at Arsenault Aesthetics, our experienced provider will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your skin to determine the most effective treatment plan.
Before the procedure, a local anesthetic will be applied to ensure your comfort. The provider will then carefully insert the PDO threads under your skin using a long cannula, lifting and tightening the targeted areas. The treatment typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of the treatment.
After the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which should subside within a few days. You can return to your daily activities with minimal restrictions, but it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise for at least a week. The results of a PDO thread lift are visible immediately and continue to improve over time as collagen production increases.
