Non-Surgical Tissue Lifting
PDO Threads
PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifting uses biocompatible, absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin to physically lift and reposition sagging tissue. The threads have tiny barbs or cogs that grip the tissue and create an immediate mechanical lift. As the threads dissolve over 4 to 6 months, they trigger a prolonged collagen production response along their path — extending results well beyond the life of the threads themselves.

How It Works
How PDO Threads Work
See Beyond Beauty uses polydioxanone, a biocompatible suture material that surgeons have trusted for decades, to physically lift and reposition sagging tissue.
The threads have tiny barbs or cogs that grip beneath the skin and create an immediate mechanical lift.
As the threads dissolve over 4 to 6 months, they trigger fibroblast proliferation, the rapid multiplication of cells that build your skin's structural framework.
This fibroblast activity drives collagen type I/III remodeling, replacing lax tissue with firm, organized collagen fibers that hold the lift long after the threads dissolve.
Our medspa uses threads as part of our V-line and non-surgical facelift protocols, combining them with Botox, fillers, and energy devices for layered, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Treatment Areas

Your Treatment
What to Expect
See Beyond Beauty designs every PDO thread session around your unique facial anatomy. Here is how the process unfolds.
Assessment & Thread Selection
Your provider evaluates your degree of laxity, skin quality, and lifting goals. We select the appropriate thread type (smooth, barbed, or cog) and map the insertion points for optimal lift direction.
Local Anesthesia
The treatment area is numbed with local anesthetic injections along the planned thread paths. This ensures comfort throughout the procedure.
Thread Placement
Your provider inserts PDO threads beneath the skin along the mapped paths using a thin cannula. Once in position, the barbs anchor the tissue and create an immediate lift you can see before leaving the chair.
Adjustment & Assessment
Your provider evaluates the symmetry and degree of lift, making any necessary adjustments. The entry points are covered with small adhesive strips — no stitches needed.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I feel the threads under my skin?
You may feel slight tightness for the first 1 to 2 weeks. Once the tissue settles and the initial swelling subsides, the threads are not perceptible. They are made of the same material used in medical sutures and dissolve completely over 4 to 6 months.
What happens when the threads dissolve?
As PDO threads dissolve, your body replaces them with a scaffolding of new collagen fibers that continue supporting the lifted tissue. This collagen network maintains the lift even after the threads are fully absorbed. Results typically last 12 to 18 months — so the threads do their job and leave lasting structure behind.
How many threads will I need?
The number varies based on the treatment area and degree of lift desired. A typical mid-face or jawline lift uses 4 to 8 threads per side. Your provider will recommend the optimal number during your consultation.
Is there scarring?
No. Your provider creates thread entry points with thin needles or cannulas — no incisions required. The tiny marks heal within days and become virtually invisible, so the lift looks natural from day one.
Can I combine threads with Botox or fillers?
Absolutely. Threads provide structural lift, Botox relaxes muscles that pull the face downward, and fillers restore volume. This tri-modality approach is a core part of our non-surgical facelift philosophy.
