What Are PDO Threads?

At Cure Med Spa, our PDO threads, now including PDO Max, an FDA-cleared polydioxanone (PDO) thread system, are of the highest grade. These threads are thinner than a strand of hair and protein-based, allowing them to be inserted beneath the skin to lift, reposition, and support underlying tissues while promoting natural collagen formation.

PDO threads can be used for non-surgical facelifts, neck lifts, and brow lifts, as well as for facial contouring and addressing drooping or lax skin on other areas of the body. Because PDO Max threads come in a variety of configurations and thicknesses, treatments can be tailored to your unique needs, helping improve definition in the jawline, cheeks, and midface.

In addition, the effects of PDO threads may last anywhere from a few months to a year, and the threads gradually disappear into the body, leaving just the fresh collagen left.

How Do PDO Threads Work?

PDO threads in Connecticut are biodegradable sutures or threads that are inserted underneath the skin’s surface to support and lift the skin tissue in the treatment area. Each PDO thread is inserted one at a time until it reaches the endpoint, where it is tugged to provide the desired effect. When the threads are injected into the skin, they trigger a natural healing reaction that causes new collagen to be created in the treated area.

The skin is tightened and firmed by the newly generated collagen surrounding the PDO threads, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Over time, as the body absorbs the PDO threads, they leave behind a fresh supply of collagen. This helps steadily improve your results and enhance your appearance over the next few months.

We Use PDO Max Threads For Optimal Results

PDO Max threads are FDA-cleared polydioxanone (PDO) sutures designed specifically for aesthetic lifting and collagen support. These threads are ultra-thin, medical-grade, and inserted beneath the skin using a specialized cannula. Once placed, PDO Max threads engage the tissue to create a subtle lift while signaling your body to produce fresh collagen around the treated area, helping reinforce structure and improve overall skin quality over time.

What sets PDO Max apart from standard PDO threads is their advanced engineering and versatility. They come in multiple configurations and thicknesses, allowing our providers to customize each treatment based on your facial anatomy and concerns. PDO Max threads offer dependable tissue engagement and long-lasting benefits, typically 12 to 18 months, giving you a more noticeable and sustained lifting effect without surgery or significant downtime.

What Are The Benefits Of PDO Max Threads?

There are many benefits to the PDO Max thread treatment, such as:

  • Tightens and lifts drooping or sagging skin without surgery
  • Encourages a natural collagen response
  • Offers results that may last 12-18 months
  • Provides natural-looking rejuvenation
  • Requires minimal downtime
  • Versatile enough for multiple facial and body areas
  • Customizable thread types, lengths, and configurations
  • Safe, minimally invasive, and performed with FDA-cleared threads

Who Is A Candidate for PDO Threads?

PDO threads in Connecticut are suitable for a wide range of individuals because the treatment is minimally invasive and customizable. With the addition of PDO Max threads, candidates now benefit from FDA-cleared technology that lifts tissue, addresses early skin laxity, and stimulates collagen for long-term improvements.

Thread lifts are often recommended for patients beginning to notice mild to moderate sagging, reduced elasticity, or facial volume changes, typically those in their 30s, 40s, and into their early 60s, who want a more sculpted, lifted look without committing to surgery or extensive downtime. Ideal candidates may experience early jowling, softening jawline definition, or descending cheek tissue, but do not yet have severe skin laxity.

During your consultation, our providers will evaluate your skin quality, goals, overall health, and the suitability of PDO Max threads to confirm whether they are the right choice for you.

How Long Do Pdo Max Results Last, and When Will I See Improvements?

Many patients notice an immediate lifting effect once PDO Max threads are placed, as the threads create mechanical support beneath the skin. Over the next several weeks, the results continue to improve as the body naturally produces collagen around the threads.

This collagen remodeling phase helps maintain firmness, contour, and elasticity. While results vary from patient to patient, they typically last 12 to 18 months. The longevity comes from both the physical thread placement and the underlying structural changes.

PDO Threads FAQs

How long does a PDO thread lift last?

PDO threads in Connecticut last 12 to 18 months. With PDO Max threads, which are designed for optimal tissue engagement and collagen stimulation, the biodegradable material gradually dissolves in the body while encouraging new collagen formation. As the threads dissolve, they continue to support the skin, providing a prolonged lifting effect even after they are no longer present. Book a consultation to see if PDO threads in Connecticut are right for you.

What is the cost of a PDO thread lift?

The cost of a PDO thread lift depends on factors such as the treatment area and the number of threads used. Because PDO Max threads come in multiple configurations to target different levels of lift and contouring, prices can range from $1,500 to $4,500. Please schedule your consultation to get an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes.

What are the downsides of PDO thread lifts?

While PDO thread lifts are generally safe, some potential downsides include swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort at the insertion sites. Rarely, there might be complications such as infection, thread migration, or asymmetry.

Choosing a provider trained in PDO Max placement techniques helps minimize these risks by ensuring the threads are properly tensioned for the most predictable outcome.

What are the types of PDO threads?

There are three main types of PDO threads in Connecticut: mono, cog, and screw threads. Mono threads are smooth and primarily used for skin tightening. Cog threads have barbs that hook into the skin, providing a better lift. Screw threads are intertwined and provide volume to sunken areas. Each type serves different purposes and can be used in combination for optimal results.

How many sessions of PDO threads do I need?

The number of PDO thread sessions needed depends on individual goals and the extent of skin laxity. Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single session using PDO Max. However, follow-ups might be recommended to maintain and enhance results.
