Non-surgical lift & collagen stimulation
Lift and support facial contours. Stimulate natural collagen production. No surgery.
PDO (Polydioxanone) lifting threads are an advanced, non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating natural collagen production. This procedure is an excellent alternative to surgical facelifts, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.
At Skinovatio Ohio, we use PDO threads to lift and support facial contours, restoring a more youthful, refreshed appearance without the risks and recovery associated with surgery.
PDO threads are ultra-thin, dissolvable sutures strategically inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once placed, these threads provide an instant lifting effect while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Insertion | PDO threads are placed beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula |
| 2. Immediate Lift | The threads provide an instant lifting and support effect |
| 3. Collagen Stimulation | The body’s natural healing response produces new collagen and elastin |
| 4. Dissolution | Over 4–6 months, the threads dissolve naturally |
| 5. Long-Term Results | New collagen maintains the lift for 12–18 months |
