One of the main skin concerns our clients face is skin laxity. Thankfully, today there are numerous effective options to tone, lift, and tighten skin, from surgical solutions (such as traditional facelifts or minimally invasive cheek lifts) to non-surgical technologies (like Sublime or Ultherapy).

Essence Med Spa proudly offers another outstanding non-surgical skin tightening treatment – PDO Threads InstaLift.PDO Threads InstaLift helps restore a youthful facial appearance without surgery, incisions, or extended downtime. Using safe, biocompatible threads, this procedure provides immediate skin tightening and enhances collagen and elastin production as the threads dissolve naturally over time.

We offer two types of PDO Threads InstaLift:

Lifting Threads: threads anchor tissue, providing an immediate lifting effect for areas like the mid-face and brow. Results can last up to a year.
Smooth Threads: These shorter, thinner threads specifically target and improve skin texture, elasticity, volume loss, and fine lines.

What is PDO Threads InstaLift?

PDO Threads InstaLift is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment using safe, dissolvable Polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate loose or sagging skin, promoting a youthful and refreshed appearance without surgery.

How do PDO Threads work?

PDO threads lift and tighten the skin immediately upon insertion. Over time, they dissolve naturally while stimulating your skin’s collagen and elastin production, resulting in sustained improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness.

What areas can be treated with PDO Threads InstaLift?

PDO Threads are versatile and commonly used to treat:

Mid-face and cheeks
Jawline and jowls
Brows and forehead
Necklines and décolletage

What's the difference between Lifting Threads and Smooth Threads?

Lifting Threads: Designed to provide immediate lifting and repositioning of sagging skin, particularly effective in the mid-face, brows, and jawline.

Smooth Threads: Shorter and thinner threads, focused on enhancing skin texture, reducing fine lines, and improving elasticity without the lifting effect.

Is the treatment painful?

The procedure involves minimal discomfort, and we use topical numbing agents to enhance comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or tugging rather than pain.

How long does the procedure take?

The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated and the number of threads used.

Is there downtime after PDO Threads InstaLift?

Downtime is minimal. You might experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days. Most clients resume normal activities immediately, though strenuous activity should be avoided for several days.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Immediate lifting results are visible right after the procedure. Improvements continue as collagen builds, peaking within 4-6 months. Results typically last up to 12-18 months or longer, depending on individual factors.

Are PDO Threads safe?

Yes, PDO threads are FDA-cleared, safe, biocompatible, and naturally absorbed by the body without leaving any residues.
