PDO Threadlift

Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation in Newport Beach

Looking for a way to lift, tighten, and refresh your appearance—without surgery or weeks of downtime? PDO Threadlift treatments at Beyond Restore in Newport Beach offer a powerful yet subtle way to smooth sagging skin, stimulate collagen, and provide a natural lift, perfect for anyone wanting to reverse signs of aging without going under the knife.

What Is a PDO Threadlift?

PDO Threadlift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift and tighten the skin. Originally used in surgical sutures, these FDA-cleared threads are safely placed beneath the skin to provide instant support and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production over time. It’s a popular alternative to traditional facelifts because there are no incisions, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime.

What Can a PDO Threadlift Treat?

PDO Threadlift can target a wide range of facial and body concerns, including:

Sagging jowls
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines
Drooping brows or forehead
Loose skin on the neck
Undefined jawline
Volume loss or mild sagging in the cheeks
Fine lines and crepey texture
Mild skin laxity on the body (arms, abdomen, knees)

How It Works

Think of PDO threads as internal scaffolding for your skin. Once inserted beneath the surface, these fine, absorbable threads provide twofold benefits:

Lifting Threads: Designed with barbs or cones to anchor sagging tissue and reposition it upward. Ideal for defining contours and reversing skin droop.
Smooth Threads: Laid in a mesh-like pattern to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving texture, firmness, and overall skin quality.

Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, but their regenerative effects continue. Your body produces new collagen around the threads, helping rebuild your skin from the inside out.

Lifting, Smoothing, or Both – Tailored Threads for Targeted Results

Depending on your goals, we may use one type of thread or a combination of both. Whether you’re after a sharper profile, a subtle lift, or firmer skin, our dual-thread approach allows us to tailor your treatment to your facial anatomy and desired results.

PDO Threadlift Benefits

Instant Lift + Long-Term Rejuvenation

Why choose between quick results and lasting change? PDO threads deliver both. You’ll see an immediate lift post-treatment, plus gradual improvements as your collagen levels rise.

Minimally Invasive, Maximum Results

There are no scalpels or stitches here. Just local numbing, strategically placed threads, and visible enhancement without the surgical price tag (or commitment).

Customizable to Your Needs

Whether you want a subtle refresh or noticeable definition, your treatment is tailored to your anatomy and aging pattern. We combine different thread types, depths, and vectors to match your goals.

Clinically-Backed Collagen Boost

Forget pricey creams that might stimulate collagen. PDO threads are placed where your skin needs structure most, delivering regenerative power right where it counts.

Perfect for the “In-Between”

Not ready for a facelift but want more than filler can offer? PDO Threadlifts fill the gap beautifully, perfect for clients looking to age on their own terms with a natural, preventative approach.

Natural-Looking Results

No frozen faces. No over-plumping. Just refreshed contours that enhance your natural features, so you still look like you, just a touch more refreshed and like yourself on your best day.

PDO Threadlift Treatment Process: What To Expect

Before

It starts with a thoughtful consultation. We’ll examine your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and map out your ideal lift points. You’ll also receive pre-treatment guidance, like avoiding blood thinners or alcohol for a few days before your visit.

During

We begin by numbing the treatment area for comfort. Then, using a thin cannula, we carefully insert the threads under the skin. Depending on your plan, the process may take 30 to 60 minutes. Most clients report feeling pressure or a tugging sensation.

After

You can return to most normal activities the same day, but we recommend avoiding heavy workouts, facial massages, or exaggerated expressions for a week. Mild swelling or bruising is normal and fades quickly. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to help you heal comfortably.

Results Timeline

You’ll see an initial lift immediately, with optimal results developing over 6 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms. Effects can last up to 18 months, and maintenance threads may be recommended annually to keep your results fresh.

Is a PDO Threadlift Right For Me?

PDO Threadlifts are ideal for healthy adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. If you’re noticing sagging, drooping, or loss of facial definition—but don’t want invasive surgery—threads could be your perfect match.

However, this treatment may not be suitable for those who:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infections
Have autoimmune or bleeding disorders

The best way to know? Schedule a consultation. We’ll assess your goals, anatomy, and expectations to determine the right fit.

Questions? We have answers!

Will I look "overdone" after a PDO Threadlift?

Not at all. Our approach is all about enhancing your natural beauty, not changing it. You’ll look refreshed, lifted, and subtly more youthful, not like a different person.

How long do PDO threads last in the body?

The threads dissolve naturally within 4 to 6 months, but their collagen-boosting effects can last 12 to 18 months. Some clients return yearly for touch-ups.

Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Many clients pair threadlifts with filler, Botox®, or laser treatments for a more complete rejuvenation. We’ll help you create a plan that aligns with your goals.

Is there downtime?

There’s minimal downtime. You might have light swelling or bruising, but most people return to work and light activities the same day. Avoid intense workouts for about a week.

Are the results immediate?

Yes—you’ll see a visible lift right away. But the real magic happens in the weeks that follow as your body creates fresh collagen for firmer, smoother skin.

How many threads will I need?

That depends on your goals and treatment areas. Some clients need just a few threads for a brow lift, while others may require more for the lower face or neck. We’ll map it all out in your consultation.
