PDO Threads in Phoenix, a Gentle Lift

Dissolvable threads that lift, support and stimulate your own collagen, for a refreshed contour without surgery.

Performed by JoAnne Chambos, FNP-C Nonsurgical treatment Threads dissolve naturally
What Are PDO Threads

Lift and Support, From Within

PDO threads are fine, dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone, a material used in medical stitches for decades. Placed beneath the skin, they provide gentle lift and support.

Some threads have tiny barbs or cogs that hold and reposition soft tissue, while smooth threads work mainly to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality. Over the following months, the threads dissolve naturally as your body builds new collagen around them.

At Solevia, I assess your face in person to decide whether threads are the right tool, which type to use and where. Threads work best for mild to moderate laxity, and they pair beautifully with fillers and skin treatments as part of a full plan.

Threads do not change who you are. They give the structure of your face a little support.

Science and Safety

How Threads Work, and Why They Are Safe

Polydioxanone has a long history in medicine as a dissolvable suture material. When threads are placed beneath the skin, they create gentle mechanical support and prompt a natural healing response that encourages new collagen. As the threads dissolve, that collagen remains.

Thread treatments are done under local anesthetic with careful technique and sterile conditions. I review your health history and assess your skin and facial structure first, because threads are best for mild to moderate laxity. Some swelling, tenderness, bruising or a feeling of tightness is common and typically eases within one to two weeks.

Treatment Time Typically 45 to 60 minutes
Results Begin Some lift right away, with collagen building over two to three months
Results Last Typically six to eighteen months, depending on the thread type and area
Downtime Swelling or tenderness for several days. Avoid wide mouth movements and facial massage for about two weeks
Best For Mild to moderate laxity in the jawline, cheeks, brow or neck

All services require an individualized medical evaluation. Not every treatment is appropriate for every patient. Prescription, compounded and off-label therapies are offered only when clinically appropriate with informed consent. Results vary.

Questions and Answers

PDO Thread Questions

A PDO thread lift uses fine, dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin to gently lift soft tissue and stimulate collagen. It is a nonsurgical option for mild to moderate sagging.

Results typically last about six to eighteen months, depending on the type of thread, the area treated and your skin. The threads dissolve, but the collagen they help build remains for a time.

We numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Some tenderness afterward is normal and usually eases within a few days.

Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Expect some swelling, bruising or tightness, and avoid facial massage, dental work and wide mouth movements for about two weeks.

Threads work best for mild to moderate laxity and good overall skin health. If you have significant sagging, I will be honest about what threads can and cannot do and discuss other options.

Filler restores volume, while threads lift and support tissue and stimulate collagen. Many faces benefit from a combination, and we can plan both at one consultation.
