PDO Thread Lifts
The Nonsurgical Face Lift Treatment
PDO thread lifts are a revolutionary new treatment in the world of aesthetics. PDO threads themselves have been used safely for decades for various applications, like treating gynecological disorders or suturing incisions after medical procedures.
PDO threads mechanically result in instant skin lifting. They also contract fat tissue to result in instant skin tightening. Overtime, PDO thread lifts promote collagen production and neovascularization to renew your skin at the cellular level. All of this works together to give you enhanced skin texture, fewer fine lines and wrinkles and more elastic skin.
Treatment Areas
Because a PDO thread lift is so versatile, it can treat virtually any area of the face. These include the:
- Neck
- Jowls
- Jaw line
- Naso jugal folds
- Nasolabial folds
- Crow’s feet
- Undereye area
- Eyebrows
- Cheeks
- Marionette lines
Frequently Asked Questions
One of the best things about this treatment is it only takes 15 to 30 minutes. After that, you’re free to go back to work or whatever else you had scheduled for the rest of your day.
Before treatment starts, we will apply a topical numbing agent and local anesthetic to the treatment site. The needle used during this treatment is so fine it will not cause any pain. However, we provide anesthesia to ensure you feel no discomfort during the treatment.
Once the anesthetic has taken effect, your treatment will begin. The PDO 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.
Some results of the treatment, such as skin lifting and some of the contouring effects, are visible immediately after treatment. In fact, your skin may look tighter when you walk out of our office than it will a week later.
The final results of your PDO thread lift will be seen within one to two months of your treatment. How long it takes you personally depends a lot on your age. Your age is one of the leading factors in how quickly your body produces new, healthy collagen. Collagen is the protein responsible for plumping up your cheeks, filling in fine lines and smoothing out wrinkles.
This treatment is completely safe. It is approved by the FDA for safety and efficiency. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of treatments have been performed and there are no reports of allergic reactions, sensitivities to the threads, or serious side effects or risks.

My skin has been giving me issues since I moved to Florida (dry and reactive), and the staff at Luminous has been helping me to get it back to a healthy, balanced state with the appropriate procedures and products (they carry Z O, which is a great skincare line).
