About PDO Threading
PDO threading is a skin rejuvenation treatment that smooths and tightens the complexion. As an innovative and noninvasive procedure, it works well for patients who want to reduce the signs of aging without requiring surgery. Commonly known as a thread lift, we use durable, polymer threads that gently raise and tighten the skin. While decreasing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and nasolabial folds, PDO threading helps refresh the middle part of your face. Additionally, it can stimulate the production of an essential skin nutrient known as collagen. Collagen increases the suppleness and firmness of the skin so even after the threads have dissolved, your skin will continue to improve. Our team is proud to provide PDO threading to our Denver, CO community. Please call Mountain Med Spa to learn more about this treatment option.

Is PDO Threading For You?
Patients with wrinkles, drooping skin, or fine lines may be ideal candidates for PDO threading. Typically, these signs of aging happen because of a decrease in the production of elastin and collagen. When these nutrients start to decline, it can decrease the suppleness and firmness of your skin. PDO threading is often combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments, like dermal fillers or wrinkle relaxers. At your consultation, a team member will go over your concerns and goals while providing realistic expectations. Depending on the severity of your sagging skin, a facelift might work best for you. Throughout your appointment, we encourage you to ask any questions you may have about this procedure.
How Does PDO Threading Work?
Before we begin the procedure, we will apply a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Once your skin is numb, we will insert the PDO threads into the deeper layers of your skin using a small, hollow needle. These threads have tiny barbs that hook onto your skin, allowing us to lift and reposition it for a smoother, more youthful appearance. The entire process typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of threads used and the areas being treated. After the threads are in place, you can return to your normal activities with minimal downtime.
What To Expect After PDO Threading
Following your PDO threading treatment, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects are normal and typically subside within a few days to a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for the first few nights to allow the threads to settle properly. You should also avoid massaging or rubbing your face. We will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, including gentle cleansing and moisturizing routines. Results will become more apparent as any swelling diminishes, and the threads begin to stimulate collagen production, leading to a gradual improvement in skin firmness and texture over the following weeks and months.
PDO Threading FAQ
How much does PDO threading cost?
The actual cost of the PDO threading (PDO thread lift) procedure could fluctuate according to the number of threads required, which are chosen based on your concerns and aims. Bear in mind that the procedure is considerably lower in cost than a cosmetic surgical procedure — so it can work as an option for a facelift surgery alternative.

How long will the results from my PDO threading procedure last?
This will depend on the initial health of your skin. In most cases, the results of PDO threading might be seen for up to 18 months or more.

You can additionally uphold your outcomes by keeping up a healthy lifestyle that involves a balanced diet, frequent exercise, proper hydration, and a home skin regimen.
Is PDO threading painful?
No, many people will not feel uncomfortable when they have a PDO threading procedure.

What areas can be treated with PDO threading?
PDO threading can be used to treat various areas of the face and body. Common treatment areas include the eyebrows, forehead, cheeks, jowls, neck, jawline, and nasolabial folds. It can also be used to lift sagging skin on the arms, thighs, and abdomen.
