PDO Thread Lift in Boston, MA
Are you concerned about the signs of aging affecting your facial appearance? As we age, the skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging and the formation of jowls. Dr. Leonard Miller offers a safe and innovative solution: A PDO thread lift.
What is a PDO thread lift?
PDO thread lift is an advanced procedure to lift, tighten, and smoothen skin on the face, neck, and other body areas. It's designed to restore the youthful V-shape of the face by delicately lifting tissues, creating taut and smooth skin with minimal swelling and complications.
About PDO threads
PDO threads use the body's selective inflammatory response to achieve exceptional facial rejuvenation. Delivered with a fine needle, these absorbable Polydioxanone (PDO) sutures are inserted under the skin to lift soft tissues in the face or neck. These sutures trigger the skin's healing process, naturally generating new collagen and tissue structure.
Where are PDO threads used?
PDO threads are FDA-approved for safe lifting, tightening, and smoothing of skin on the face, neck, and other areas of the body. While they can be used in various places, they are most effective in the lower third of the face, an area typically challenging to treat with BOTOX or fillers. PDO threads work particularly well on the neck and jawline. They can significantly improve the appearance of cheeks, jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and the border of the upper and lower lips.
Why choose us for your PDO thread lift?

Over time, the body naturally produces collagen, replacing lost tissue volume for long-lasting results.

Am I a good candidate for PDO threads?
PDO threads are best for individuals with mild to moderate sagging tissue, ptosis, or crepey skin on the face and neck. They are not recommended for patients allergic to lidocaine or epinephrine or those with active infections, colds, or rashes.
When will I see my PDO thread lift results?
Patients can see immediate results in lifted tissues and tighter skin after their PDO threads session. As collagen increases and the natural healing process occurs, results continue to improve. A repeat session is typically not necessary for 9 to 12 months.
