What you need to know about the thread facelift tightening treatment
At DS Skin & Lips Medical Spa of the Scottsdale, Arizona area, we know that invasive plastic surgery is often the last thing our patients want to do to restore their youthful appearance. This is why we are excited to offer solutions like our PDO thread facelift treatment as a face-tightening solution for those with mild signs of aging. Skin laxity and the formation of fine lines can cause patients to look older than they feel and make them incredibly self-conscious about how they look to others. With the help of our team, you can address these concerns without surgery using PDO threads. Let’s look at what a PDO thread facelift involves and at some commonly asked questions.
What exactly is a PDO thread facelift?
PDO thread facelifts use dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten loose skin gently. It’s like giving your face a refreshing boost without undergoing surgery, while being both quick and effective.
How long does the procedure take?
Not long at all! Most PDO thread facelifts are done in under an hour, making it the ultimate lunchtime beauty pick-me-up. You’ll be in and out before you know it, without requiring recovery time from work and social activities.
Does it hurt?
There may be a little discomfort, but nothing major. Our providers use a local anesthetic to ensure you stay as comfy as possible during the procedure. Many patients describe it as a slight tugging sensation rather than pain.
How long do the results last?
The good news is that the results can last up to 18 months. Plus, the threads stimulate collagen production, so you will continue to see improvement even after the threads dissolve. This ensures longer-lasting changes.
Is there any downtime?
Fortunately, this treatment does not require any downtime. You might have some mild swelling or bruising for a few days, but most patients bounce back quickly and are ready to show off their refreshed look in no time. We just recommend avoiding strenuous activities for a little while following your treatment.

Absolutely! PDO threads have been used in medical procedures for years and are designed to dissolve safely over time. Plus, the risks are minimal when handled by a skilled professional like Amber Diangelis and her team.
Will it look natural?
