Absorbable threads that subtly lift and support the skin and stimulate collagen over time.


A PDO thread lift uses fine, absorbable threads made of polydioxanone, a material long used in surgical sutures, placed under the skin to provide subtle lift and support. The threads also prompt the skin to produce collagen along their path as they are gradually absorbed.
It offers a modest, non-surgical lift for early sagging and is not a substitute for a surgical facelift. Results are temporary, since the threads absorb over several months, though the collagen response can give a longer-lasting subtle improvement.
It does not match the lift of a surgical facelift, does not remove excess skin, and is temporary. It is not suitable for significant sagging, which needs surgery.
Your degree of laxity is assessed to confirm a thread lift is suitable, since it suits early sagging rather than significant laxity. Your medical history is reviewed and the temporary nature of the result is explained.
Fine absorbable threads are placed under the skin through small entry points and gently positioned to lift and support the tissue. The entry points are numbed for comfort.
Swelling, bruising, and a tight or pulling sensation are common for a few days. Strenuous activity, facial massage, and wide mouth movements are limited for a short period as advised while the threads settle.
A subtle lift and gradual firming are achievable in suitable candidates. A thread lift cannot match surgery, cannot remove loose skin, and is temporary, with threads absorbing over months. Results vary, and maintenance is needed to sustain them.
Thread lifts are generally safe in trained hands, but they carry some risks. Possible risks include:
Thread lifts are avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding and over areas of active skin infection. A careful assessment ensures the degree of laxity is suitable.
Thread lifts at Skulpturkliniken are performed by qualified medical staff under Dr. Matteo Amoroso's oversight, with a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
