The PDO thread lift is a non-surgical facelift alternative for a younger appearance. This minimally invasive procedure uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift and tighten sagging skin with natural-looking results and minimal downtime. If you’re looking for a PDO thread lift in San Ramon, CA, this treatment might be perfect for you.
Known as a non-surgical facelift, PDO Thread, or PDO threadlift, is a minimally invasive treatment that provides your skin with a subtle upward lift so your skin is allowed to tighten, thus countering the effects of aging skin and wrinkles, usually around the cheeks, jowls or neck. A popular application is applying PDO Threads to slightly roll your lips for a natural plump so your lips look somewhat thicker.
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a synthetic absorbable surgical suture proven to be one of the safest materials to implant in the body. PDO has been used successfully for decades for suturing incisions after medical procedures. This polymer is perfectly flexible for thread lifts. PDO threading enhances the area treated’s appearance and encourages the natural production of collagen.
PDO threads can be very effective in the following ways:
Other methods of non-surgical management of wrinkles and aging skin include dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, Botox and other neuromodulators, HydraFacials, and chemical peels.
Smooth threads can be used to create a mesh-like area beneath the skin. This stimulates the cells in the skin that produce collagen. This thread can be used for three to four months to smooth over lines, add volume, and improve skin tone.
Twist threads are more spiral in shape, like a tiny spring. They are inserted directly into facial folds, grooves, and wrinkles. They act as a “filler,” plumping up these areas and also promoting new collagen growth. Remember, collagen in your skin is your friend. Increasing collagen growth aids in healthier, more youthful-looking skin texture.
Barbed threads (as briefly discussed above) are ideal for lifting and elevating. It helps define fuller cheekbones, define loose jawlines, and improve the appearance of neck sagging.

Looove this MedSpa! I originally went in for microblading with Demi last year and since then I have gotten microneedling done and PDO threads. The nurse Michelle is great as well Dr. Abrass!! With all the video conferences at home these days, I feel like I’m confident and just ready to go without needing to spend all this time putting on my makeup. I’m pretty much just hanging out at home with my 2 boys and hubby so it’s easier. I referred a few friends so far and will continue to do so. Great experience and highly recommend blossom.

The PDO thread lift offers numerous benefits. It effectively reduces wrinkles and fine lines, enhances skin texture, and promotes collagen production. This non-surgical facelift provides immediate results that improve over time as the threads stimulate natural collagen growth. The thread lift procedure is quick, typically done in under an hour, and the recovery time is minimal, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.
A PDO thread lift session lifts facial features while stimulating new collagen protein production in the treated areas, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. A PDO thread lift mechanically lifts the skin, resulting in the contraction of the fat tissue. This process tightens the skin instantly. Along with collagen production, it promotes neovascularization of the skin on a cellular level.
The best candidates for a PDO threadlift are individuals with signs of early facial sagging or mild aging. These include mild to moderate laxity in the skin, wrinkles, and fine lines around the mouth, nose, and chin. Ideal candidates are ages 30 and up.
People who want tighter skin on the face and neck but do not want to undergo surgical procedures may choose a PDO threadlift. They should have realistic expectations of the procedure’s outcome.
Eligibility for a PDO threadlift can be determined through a consultation. We will examine your skin and ask about your goals to check if a PDO threadlift is right for you. We will schedule a good faith exam with our Doctor or our nurse practitioner to go over your complete medical history to see if you are a good candidate to receive PDO threads lift.

A PDO thread treatment time can vary from 20 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. The key to success is to openly communicate with our medical team and beauty consultants to make sure that you are a great fit for PDO Threads. Setting the right expectations and proper post-care is very important to your long-term outcome. Our mission is to make sure you look and feel confident, both on the inside and out.
We believe everyone has different pain tolerances. We will make sure that you are comfortable with the treatment. However, the majority of clients say thread-lift treatment is pain-free.
Threads are loaded in very fine needles, making implantation virtually painless. Also, scarring is almost eliminated since there are no incisions or stitches.
You will see the result immediately after the treatment, with a visible lift and textural improvement. The result will continue to improve over three months as new collagen forms around and between threads, providing further lifting and tightening. The threads are safely absorbed within four to six months. By the seventh month, the collagen in the treated area increases by 100%.
The procedure results may stay visible for 18 months to three years, depending on several factors. These include age, skin condition, and the number of threads used during your PDO thread lift treatment.
You can maintain these results longer if you commit to making lifestyle changes. These include applying sunscreen regularly and investing in anti-aging skincare products that will help keep your skin looking young and fresh.
