What Is A PDO Thread Lift?

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, PDO Thread Lifts offer a non-surgical way to lift and tighten the skin. PDO, short for Polydioxanone, is a material long used in medical procedures because it’s safely absorbed by the body with little to no scarring. During the treatment, fine threads are inserted just beneath the skin’s surface to gently lift and firm areas that may be starting to sag.

As these threads gradually dissolve, they stimulate collagen production in the surrounding tissue, which helps improve the skin’s strength, texture, and elasticity. Unlike dermal fillers that simply add volume, PDO Thread Lifts work by giving your skin a natural lift and supporting long-term renewal from within.

Which Areas Can Be Treated With A PDO Thread Lift?

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, PDO Thread Lifts are used to treat a variety of areas on the face, neck, and even select parts of the body. This treatment is ideal for spots that tend to show early signs of aging and are commonly addressed with dermal fillers or Ultherapy. Common areas we treat include the neck, jawline, jowls, cheeks, and under-eye region. It’s also effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and nose—like nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and nasojugal folds—as well as lifting the eyebrows and smoothing crow’s feet. In some cases, PDO threads can also be applied to the stomach or knees to help tighten sagging skin in those areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about acne? AFL Beauty Bar is here to help with expert advice and effective treatments to get your skin back on track!

PDO Thread Lifts offer a non-surgical way to lift and tighten the skin—no cuts or incisions involved, just a few precise injections. Compared to traditional surgery, this treatment comes with much less downtime, fewer risks, and a more affordable price. Even though it’s not surgical, the results can still be quite noticeable, giving you a lifted, more youthful appearance without the need for a scalpel.

PDO Thread Lift is an excellent choice for anyone starting to see early signs of aging but not quite ready for a surgical facelift. It’s especially suitable for those with mild to moderate skin looseness, typically individuals in their late 30s to early 50s. If you’re in good health and looking for a minimally invasive way to lift and firm your skin, this treatment can be a valuable part of your anti-aging routine.

At AFL Beauty Bar in New York, the results of a PDO Thread Lift usually last anywhere from 12 to 15 months. The threads remain under the skin for about four to six months before being naturally absorbed by the body. While they’re in place, they stimulate collagen production, which helps tighten and firm the skin over time—even after the threads have dissolved. To keep their skin looking its best, many clients come back every few months, typically around the four-month point, to maintain the lifting effect and encourage ongoing collagen growth.

Before your PDO Thread Lift at AFL Beauty Bar in New York, there are a few important steps to take to help your treatment go smoothly and support a quicker recovery. It’s best to avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, warfarin, or heparin, as well as supplements such as vitamins A, D, and E, fish oil, flaxseed oil, garlic, ginkgo, magnesium, and evening primrose oil in the days leading up to your appointment. You should also steer clear of alcohol for at least 48 hours before your session, as it can raise the risk of bruising or swelling. These precautions will help your skin respond well to the procedure and heal more easily.
