Lift sagging skin and reclaim beautifully defined contours without surgery with a PDO thread lift at Skin Theory. Just across the border in Tijuana, we use MINT™ PDO threads to refine jowls, cheeks, jawlines, and necks while encouraging natural collagen renewal.
Lift and Redefine Without Surgery
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin to gently lift and support sagging areas. Beyond creating immediate elevation, the threads encourage natural collagen production as they gradually dissolve. This dual effect can restore facial definition and contours, improve firmness, and create a subtly refreshed appearance without a facelift.
PDO Thread Lift Treats These Concerns:
- Mild to moderate facial sagging
- Drooping or flattened cheeks
- Early jowls along the lower face
- Reduced jawline definition
- Loose or sagging skin along the neck
- Descending brows
- Deepening nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines around the mouth
- Loss of youthful facial contours
- Reduced skin firmness and elasticity
How MINT PDO Threads Work
MINT threads are made from dissolvable PDO and feature tiny molded barbs arranged around each thread. Once placed beneath the skin, these barbs grip and reposition sagging tissue for an immediate lifting effect. As the threads dissolve, they also encourage your body to produce collagen, helping strengthen the skin’s underlying support and maintain firmer contours.
What Makes MINT PDO Threads Different?
MINT threads feature patented barbs molded around the thread in a 360-degree helical pattern. These tiny barbs are designed to grip tissue from multiple directions, helping reposition and support sagging areas while the dissolvable PDO material encourages collagen renewal.

FAQs
When Will I See My PDO Thread Lift Results?
You can typically notice some lifting and improved definition immediately after treatment. Your appearance continues to evolve as swelling settles and the threads encourage new collagen formation. Optimal results are generally visible around one month after treatment.
How Long Will My PDO Thread Lift Results Last?
MINT PDO thread lift results can last approximately 1 year. Your age, skin quality, lifestyle, treatment area, and natural aging process can all influence how long you enjoy your results.
Will My PDO Threads Stay Beneath My Skin Permanently?
No. PDO is biodegradable, meaning your body gradually absorbs the threads. While the physical threads dissolve over time, the collagen produced in response to treatment can continue to provide support after they have dissolved.
Will I Look Dramatically Different After a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is performed for refinement rather than the dramatic transformation possible with facelift surgery. At Skin Theory, we focus on restoring elegant contours while preserving the features that make you look like yourself, not pulling the face into an unnatural position.
Is There Downtime After a PDO Thread Lift?
Downtime is generally shorter than with surgery, but you should expect some swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, or dimpling. Your provider may also recommend limiting strenuous exercise, exaggerated facial movements, and pressure on treated areas while they settle.
