Absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads lift, contour, and stimulate collagen — physician-administered at our Clifton Park clinic. A measured, in-office alternative to a surgical facelift, with results visible immediately and no general anesthesia.
PDO threads are surgical-grade absorbable sutures introduced just beneath the skin to lift sagging tissue and stimulate the body’s own collagen production. Over the following weeks, the threads dissolve while new collagen continues to firm and refine the treated area.

Most patients see results for 12–18 months. The threads themselves dissolve over 6–12 months, but the collagen they stimulate continues to support the lift afterward.
Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Most patients describe the placement as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful, with minor soreness for 1–3 days.
A surgical facelift is more dramatic and longer-lasting but requires general anesthesia and 2–4 weeks of recovery. PDO threads are non-surgical, take roughly 45 minutes, and have minimal downtime — but offer subtler, shorter-duration results.
Yes — PDO threads pair well with both. Many patients combine treatments to address different aging concerns at once. Your provider will recommend the right sequence during consultation.
Common: mild swelling, bruising, tenderness for 1–3 days. Rare: visible threads, asymmetry, infection. All are addressed during follow-up.
Most patients see optimal results with 1–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance is recommended every 12–18 months.
All PDO thread procedures at Clifton Park Medical Aesthetics are performed by our licensed physician.
Minimal. Most patients return to normal activities the same or next day. Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massage for 7 days.
