The Lift Without the Surgery: Exploring PDO Threads

There is a point for many of us where we start to notice a little more laxity in our skin than we’d like. Maybe it’s a softening jawline, slightly heavy brows, or those lines around the mouth that seem to stay deep even when we aren't smiling. For a long time, the only real answer for significant sagging was a surgical facelift, but PDO Threads have completely changed that conversation.


At Skin and Soul Med Spa in Seabrook, we use these threads to provide a visible lift and tighten the skin from the inside out, all without the downtime or intensity of surgery.


What Exactly Are PDO Threads?

PDO stands for Polydioxanone, which is a medical-grade material that has been used in surgeries for decades. These threads are thinner than a strand of hair and are designed to be safely absorbed by your body over time.


When we strategically place these threads under the skin, they do two things. First, they provide an immediate mechanical lift, gently pulling the skin back into a more youthful position. Second, they act as a signal to your body to start producing new collagen in that specific area. Even as the threads dissolve over the next several months, the new collagen structure remains, keeping your skin firm and lifted long after the treatment itself.


Versatility in Every Stitch

What makes this treatment so special is its versatility. We aren't just limited to lifting the cheeks. We can use different types of threads to address very specific concerns across the face and neck:

  • Brow Lifts: Gently raising the brow line to open up the eyes.
  • Jawline and Neck: Tightening the skin to reduce the appearance of jowls or a turkey neck.
  • Smooth Threads: These are often used in areas like under the eyes or smoker's lines to build a mesh-work of collagen for smoother skin texture.
  • Body Lines: We can even treat areas like the chest to soften deep lines and wrinkles.


The Treatment Experience

We know the idea of threads can sound intimidating, but the process is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Depending on the area, the session can take anywhere from 20 minutes for smaller spots to about an hour and a half for a full face and neck lift.



Because this isn't surgery, you won't have to deal with a long, complicated recovery. You might have some minor inflammation or a little bruising, but most people are back to their normal routine within a day or two. We just ask that you avoid high-impact workouts or dental work for a couple of weeks to let everything settle perfectly into place.


Natural Results That Last

The goal with a thread lift isn't to make you look pulled or tight. It is about restoring the natural contours of your face. You’ll see an immediate difference right after the appointment, but the results actually get better over the next few months as your collagen kicks in. Most of our patients enjoy their refreshed look for up to two years.
