You know the move. The one you do in the mirror, gently pulling your skin back and thinking, ‘There I am.’ But firming creams can only do so much, and you are not ready for the downtime or commitment of a surgical facelift.
A PDO Thread Lift is the game changer. It is a minimally invasive treatment that uses dissolvable threads to physically lift sagging skin and redefine your facial contours, giving you an immediate, natural looking refresh with almost no downtime.
What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO Thread Lift is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment that uses dissolvable sutures, or threads, made from a safe, biocompatible material called Polydioxanone (PDO). This is the same material used in medical surgeries for decades. The procedure works in two powerful ways.
- The threads are expertly inserted into the subdermal layer of the skin. Some threads have tiny barbs that gently grip the tissue, allowing us to physically lift and reposition sagging skin for an immediate, visible contour.
- The presence of the threads kicks your body’s natural healing response into high gear, stimulating a massive surge in new collagen production. As the threads safely dissolve over several months, they leave behind a strong, new collagen matrix that firms, thickens, and smooths your skin from within.
What It Treats
The PDO Thread Lift is a versatile and powerful tool for addressing skin laxity and restoring the youthful “V-shape” of the face. We use it to target the key areas affected by gravity and volume loss.
- Sagging Jowls: Lifts and tightens loose skin along the jawline to reduce the appearance of jowls.
- Undefined Jawline: Creates a sharper, more defined profile for a crisp and youthful contour.
- Drooping Cheeks: Restores volume and provides a subtle lift to the mid-face, softening nasolabial folds.
- Neck Laxity: Smooths and tightens the delicate skin on the neck, often referred to as “tech neck.”
- Brow Lift: Provides a gentle lift to drooping eyebrows for a brighter, more awake appearance.
The Experience & Results
Your journey at Saged NYC begins with a detailed consultation where we map out your unique facial structure and goals. During the treatment, which typically takes about an hour, we ensure you are completely comfortable by applying a topical numbing cream and using local anesthetic.
You will notice an immediate lift the moment you look in the mirror. This is the instant gratification part of the treatment. However, the true magic happens over the next 2 to 3 months as your new collagen network builds, improving your skin’s texture, firmness, and overall radiance. While you may experience some minor swelling or bruising, the social downtime is minimal compared to surgery. The beautiful, natural-looking results can last for 12 to 18 months.
Step into a space where medical aesthetics meets relaxation, and leave feeling like the best version of yourself.

Common Questions About PDO Thread Lifts
How is a PDO Thread Lift different from a facelift?
A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime that repositions skin and stimulates collagen. A surgical facelift is a major operation that involves incisions and removing excess skin for a more dramatic, permanent result with significant recovery time.
Is there any downtime?
Social downtime is minimal. You may experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days to a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and exaggerated facial movements for about two weeks to allow the threads to settle properly.
Does the procedure hurt?
We prioritize your comfort. The treatment area is thoroughly numbed with both a topical cream and local anesthetic injections, so most clients report feeling only slight pressure or pulling sensations, not pain.
How long do the results last?
The immediate lift is visible right away, while the collagen-stimulating effects improve over several months. Most clients enjoy their results for 12 to 18 months. Your lifestyle and the natural aging process will influence longevity.
Will I be able to feel the threads under my skin?
Immediately after the procedure, you may be aware of the threads, but this sensation typically subsides within a week or two as they integrate with your tissue. The threads are designed to be completely unnoticeable once settled.
When will I see the final results?
You will see an immediate lift right after your appointment. However, the best is yet to come. The full effect, including improved skin texture and firmness from new collagen, will become most apparent around 2 to 3 months post treatment.
Is a PDO Thread Lift safe?
Yes. When performed by a trained and licensed provider, it is a very safe procedure. The PDO material has a long history of safe use in medicine and is naturally absorbed by the body over time.
