Get the LiftWithout the Facelift
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used in aesthetic medicine to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. These threads are made from a biodegradable synthetic material called polydioxanone, which has been used for many years in various medical applications, such as surgical sutures. They have been adapted in the field of aesthetics in a procedure known as a PDO thread lift, in which threads are guided carefully underneath the skin and secured in place to lift sagging tissues from within. At Rajeunir Medical, we perform treatments using Nova threads, the market's first and leading PDO threads.
In addition to providing structural support to the tissues, PDO threads stimulate collagen production in the treatment area. Collagen is a protein that helps maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity, but its production decreases with age, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Generally, the effects of a PDO thread lift can last anywhere from six months to two years.

The number and placement of threads will depend on your specific needs and treatment goals. The threads are then gently manipulated to lift and contour the skin. The entire Bellevue PDO thread lift procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the number of threads and treatment areas.

Patients may be advised to use cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers to manage discomfort. Additionally, you should follow a gentle skincare routine and avoid harsh products or facial massages for at least two weeks. Following the aftercare guidelines we provide and attending any scheduled follow-up appointments will promote optimal healing and help ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
