Book Your ConsultationWhat is PDO Threads?
A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift uses fine, absorbable surgical sutures placed just beneath the skin to lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen. Over the following weeks, your body gradually absorbs the threads while new collagen firms and supports the area.
At Aesthetics by Ilona, thread lifts are tailored to your face and goals — sharpening the jawline, lifting the cheeks or brows, and refining the neck — for a natural lift without incisions or general anesthesia.
How PDO Threads Works
A PDO thread lift works by:Instant lift
Threads mechanically lift and reposition sagging skin.
Collagen stimulation
The threads trigger new collagen for lasting firmness.
Gradual, natural results
Results build over weeks and can last 1–2 years.
The result: A firmer, lifted, more youthful contour — without surgery or a long recovery.
