PDO Thread Lift in Scottsdale & Peoria, AZ
A PDO thread lift is a nonsurgical way to gently lift and refresh areas that have started to soften with time. Rita places fine, dissolvable threads just under the skin to create a subtle lift while encouraging your own collagen. The results are understated and natural, never a dramatic or pulled look, which is exactly how facial balancing should feel.

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO thread lift uses tiny, dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) sutures placed under the skin to provide a soft lift and to stimulate collagen over time. PDO is a material that has been used safely in medicine for years, and the threads gradually dissolve on their own. This is not a surgical facelift and it does not replace one: it offers a subtle refresh for early laxity rather than a dramatic change.
The threads themselves typically dissolve over about four to six months, while the collagen they stimulate can support your skin for roughly twelve to eighteen months. Most people experience some mild swelling or soreness for a few days afterward. A thread lift works best for early jowling or mild laxity, and Rita will always set realistic expectations about what it can and cannot do during your consultation in Scottsdale or Peoria.
Benefits of PDO Thread Lift
Subtle, natural lift
Fine threads gently reposition and support softening areas without the dramatic look of surgery.
Collagen stimulation
As the threads dissolve they encourage your own collagen, which can support the skin well after they are gone.
Nonsurgical approach
A thread lift is an in-office treatment with no general anesthesia and far less downtime than a surgical facelift.
Good for early laxity
Thread lifts are well suited to early jowling and mild sagging, where a light touch makes the biggest difference.
What to Expect
- Consultation
Rita assesses your skin, degree of laxity, and goals to confirm whether a PDO thread lift is a realistic fit for you. - Prep and numbing
The area is cleansed, mapped, and numbed for comfort before any threads are placed. - Treatment
Rita carefully places the dissolvable PDO threads under the skin to create a gentle lift and support collagen. - Aftercare
You receive simple guidance for the days ahead, including managing mild swelling or soreness while the area settles.

PDO Thread Lift FAQ
Is a PDO thread lift the same as a facelift?
No. A thread lift is a nonsurgical treatment that offers a subtle lift for early laxity. It does not replace a surgical facelift and produces a much more modest, gradual change.
How long do the results last?
The threads themselves dissolve over about four to six months, while the collagen they stimulate can support your skin for roughly twelve to eighteen months. Results vary from person to person.
Is there downtime?
Most people have some mild swelling and soreness for a few days. You can usually return to normal activities quickly, following the aftercare guidance Rita provides.
Who is a good candidate?
Thread lifts work best for early jowling or mild laxity. Rita will assess your skin honestly and let you know if this treatment is the right approach for your goals.
Can I get a thread lift while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We do not recommend this treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please check with your own provider and wait until afterward.
