PDO Threads Los Angeles, CA | Medical Spa
Gentle Lifts, Visible Results
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable sutures made from a material commonly known as sugar threads. They are threaded into the skin and take about 6 weeks to break down, during which they stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in younger, healthier skin.
A PDO thread lift involves inserting these threads into the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which improves skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance over time.
Experience the next level of skin rejuvenation and facial contouring with our expertly applied PDO threads, tailored to enhance your natural beauty.

PDO thread lifts are suitable for both women and men looking to reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, and early jowls. It’s perfect for those who want to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing surgery.
The procedure is quick and relatively painless, often referred to as a “lunchtime” facelift due to its short duration. Post-procedure, you can expect minimal downtime with results that continue to improve as collagen production increases.
PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive with a high safety profile. Side effects are rare but can include minor swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the insertion sites, which typically resolve quickly.
Types of PDO Threads Used at Giffen Health
Not all threads are equal. Lisa uses a combination of thread types depending on your goals:
- Smooth threads — stimulate collagen in the skin without lifting; ideal for skin quality improvement
- Barbed (cog) threads — provide mechanical lift by anchoring into tissue; the “lift” threads
- Twisted and braided threads — create volume and stimulate collagen in targeted areas
The combination Lisa recommends for you will be based on your anatomy, degree of laxity, and desired outcome — discussed fully at your consultation.
PDO Threads vs Surgical Facelift: Who Is It For?
PDO threads aren’t a replacement for surgery in cases of significant laxity — but for clients in their 30s to 50s noticing early sagging, jowling, or brow descent, threads offer a compelling, low-risk alternative with no general anesthesia, no scarring, and no extended recovery. Many clients use threads as a “maintenance" strategy to delay surgery by years, or to refresh results between more invasive procedures.
Combine threads with fillers for a complete non-surgical lift and volume refresh, allowing you to address both skin laxity and volume loss in a balanced, natural-looking way.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The threads themselves dissolve within 4–6 months. However, the collagen stimulation they trigger continues producing results for 12–18 months. Most clients schedule a touch-up annually to maintain their lift.
-
Local numbing is applied to all insertion points before the procedure. During treatment, you may feel mild pressure or tugging. Most clients are comfortable throughout and return to normal activities the same day or the next day.
-
Fillers add volume to restore what age has taken away. Threads physically lift and reposition tissue that has descended, while also stimulating collagen. They work on different problems — and are often combined for a comprehensive non-surgical result. Lisa frequently recommends both at a consultation depending on what each client needs.
-
Minimal. You may experience mild swelling, bruising at insertion points, or a slight feeling of tightness for a few days. Most clients feel comfortable going out in public within 24–48 hours. Strenuous exercise and facial massages should be avoided for 2 weeks.
-
PDO (polydioxanone) has been used in medical sutures for decades and has an excellent safety record. When performed by an experienced injector like Lisa Giffen FNP-C, complication rates are very low. During your consultation, Lisa will review your medical history to confirm you’re a good candidate.
