Looking for a subtle, natural-looking facial lift without surgery or long downtime? PDO threads may be the solution—for both the face and select areas of the body. At BODYWELLE in Miami Beach, Dr. Alonso Martin offers expertly placed PDO thread lifts that tighten sagging skin and stimulate collagen production for a firmer, more youthful appearance. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for patients looking to enhance definition, smooth lines, and restore facial contours without the need for scalpels or general anesthesia.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads have been used in medicine for decades. Now, they’re a safe and effective cosmetic tool for lifting the skin and rejuvenating facial structure. Whether you’re concerned about jowls, smile lines, or a sagging jawline, PDO threads can offer noticeable improvement that looks completely natural.
PDO threads are absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin to gently lift and reposition tissues. Over time, they dissolve safely while stimulating collagen and elastin production in the treated area. This creates both immediate lift and long-term rejuvenation.
PDO threads are made of a biocompatible material commonly used in heart surgery and they dissolve completely over several months. As they do, they leave behind firmer, healthier skin. Because the threads trigger natural collagen production, they continue to improve skin elasticity and firmness long after the threads themselves have dissolved.
At BODYWELLE, PDO threads are often used in combination with dermal fillers or neuromodulators for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Threads can also be a great first step for patients considering surgical options but who want to try less invasive methods first.

PDO threads are versatile and can be used across the face and body. Popular areas include:
While PDO threads are commonly used for facial lifting, they can also be effective on body areas prone to skin looseness—particularly after weight loss or aging. However, not all patients are candidates for body thread lifting. Dr. Martin will evaluate your skin, goals, and medical history to determine if PDO threads are the right option for you.
If threads aren’t suitable, BODYWELLE offers advanced alternatives like Morpheus8, microneedling, and regenerative skin boosters that can tighten and rejuvenate skin in those same areas without surgery.
At BODYWELLE, the PDO thread lift procedure is performed in-office and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas treated.
Step-by-step:
You may feel slight pressure or tugging during the procedure, but most patients report minimal discomfort. There are no large incisions, no sutures to remove, and no need for general anesthesia. Patients appreciate how quick and efficient the treatment is, often completing it during a lunch break.
Recovery from PDO threads is typically quick and easy. You can return to most normal activities within 24–48 hours. Some temporary effects may include:
Aftercare tips:
Your provider will give you specific instructions tailored to your treatment area and skin type.
Many patients see a noticeable lift immediately after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen production ramps up.
Regular maintenance treatments may help prolong the results and continue stimulating collagen for healthier, firmer skin long term. Consistent skincare, sun protection, and avoiding smoking can also help maximize results.
This layered approach can provide comprehensive results that look balanced and natural. During your consultation, we’ll help you build a customized plan based on your goals. Patients often find that combining PDO threads with other treatments accelerates visible results and extends the overall benefit.
PDO threads offer a non-surgical way to lift and refresh your appearance while building stronger, firmer skin over time.
