Question 1

Do PDO threads really lift the face?

Accepted Answer

Yes — cog and screw threads offer a genuine lifting effect by physically anchoring and repositioning sagging skin. Mono threads tighten without repositioning, which is still effective for fine lines and overall firmness.

Question 2

Are PDO threads better than fillers?

Accepted Answer

They address different concerns. Fillers add volume to sunken areas; threads tighten and lift loose skin. Many patients benefit most from a combination of both — the right approach depends on your anatomy and goals.

Question 3

How long do results last?

Accepted Answer

Roughly 12–18 months on average, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and the thread type used. Collagen production continues even after the threads dissolve, extending results beyond the absorption window.

Question 4

Are PDO threads safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes — PDO has a long safety record in surgical settings and is fully biodegradable. When placed by an experienced provider, the risk of complications is low.
