PDO Threads
Absorbable threads have become popular in recent years as a quick alternative to surgical facelifts. Dependent on polydioxanone(PDO) threads inserted under the skin to lift sagging skin back up, PDO threads create a more youthful appearance. NIMS MedSpa offers thread lifts to restore facial definition in a safe and non-invasive way.
What are PDO Threads and What Do They Do?
Polydioxanone, or PDO threads are used to perform what are popularly called thread lifts. PDO threads are popular because the skin absorbs them, so there’s never a need to take them out. They can lift, contour, add volume, and even stimulate collagen production.
PDO threads are used for thread lifts at NIMS MedSpa. A thread lift is a minimally invasive and nonsurgical technique designed to tighten and elevate sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck. At NIMS MedSpa, we specialize in thread lifts for enhancing facial contours and lifting saggin skin.
The procedure involves the placement of PDO threads beneath the skin to lift and support sagging skin while stimulating collagen production. This leads to firmer and more youthful-looking skin. Achieving optimal results typically requires multiple treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
How PDO Threads Work to Generate Lift
Tiny barbs or cones are attached to the threads, aiding in anchoring them within the skin. Once they’re in, PDO threads have an immediate lifting effect. The thread induces lift in the skin and stimulates collagen production because the body interprets the thread as a form of “injury.”
Placing sutures beneath the skin triggers a controlled inflammatory response, leading to the creation of new collagen and growth factors. This process helps the body heal what it perceives as a wound.
After a few months, the threads dissolve, leaving behind newly formed collagen fibers that contribute to enduring results. Unlike a traditional surgical facelift, thread lifts offer the benefits of minimal downtime — and there’s no need for anesthesia.

Target Areas of PDO Threads
Facial Areas
Thread lifts can significantly enhance the look of sagging skin and facial wrinkles. Through the insertion of threads beneath the skin, an immediate lifting effect is achieved, effectively tightening loose facial tissues. This non-surgical approach is fantastic for correcting issues like drooping brows, deep lines around the mouth (nasolabial folds), and sagging jowls.
Neck and Chest
In the neck area, thread lifts can effectively lift and tighten loose skin, diminishing the appearance of a double chin or other excess fat. By rejuvenating the neck, these lifts contribute to improved definition and contour along the jawline.
Abdomen and Thighs
Yes, thread lifts can even be used on the body. Popular areas for body thread lifts include the abdomen and thighs, two prominent areas where people tend to experience stubborn fat deposits that may not be easily addressed with diet and exercise.
