If most people had a choice, they would retain the same vibrant, youthful glow throughout their entire life. Unfortunately, this isn’t something that we are lucky enough to possess.
Instead, as we age, it begins to show in our face. We develop wrinkles, our skin isn’t as tight as it was before, and parts of our face start to droop.
In years past, there wasn’t much that could be done to reverse these signs of aging, unless you wanted to undergo an invasive surgical facelift — if you even had the money to afford it.
Today, though, there are many minimally-invasive procedures available that can reverse the signs of aging by mimicking the results of a facelift. PDO thread lifts are one of the most popular options, as they are affordable, don’t take much time to complete, have limited downtime and can be repeated as often as you’d like.
But, do PDO threads look natural? That’s a main question that people ask before they get the procedure done, and one question that we will answer below.
PDO threads can certainly lift parts of your skin up, but not nearly as much as a traditional facelift. What this does, though, is result in a much subtler end result — but one that looks much more natural when compared to a traditional facelift.

What is a PDO Thread Lift?
PDO threads are a synthetic material that is a hair-like thread. They are 100% biocompatible and biodegradable, which means that there is a very low likelihood for adverse effects or reactions.
For many years, PDO threads were used as dissolvable sutures in surgical procedures. Over the last 25 years or so, they’ve made their way into the aesthetic medicine realm to help reverse the signs of aging.
Providers insert PDO threads into a patient’s skin using a preloaded canula, which is very similar to how an IV line is inserted. There are barbs on the end of the PDO threads, which act to grab onto part of the skin and lift it up.
Skilled and trained providers will know how to position the threads just perfectly to lift your skin up where it needs to be. This will be done in slightly different ways depending on what you are getting done.
PDO threads are commonly used to treat wrinkles, to smooth out skin, to lift parts of skin up, and to add definition to parts of the face such as under eyes and around lips.
The procedure only takes about one hour to complete, and you’ll be able to resume most of your daily activities as soon as you leave the office. The provider will also only need to use local numbing agents to make you comfortable, as the procedure is generally pain-free.
Do PDO Threads Look Natural?
PDO threads certainly sound great, but do the results look natural? The quick and easy answer to this is yes — and that’s what makes them so popular.
Unlike a traditional facelift, there are some limitations to what PDO threads can do from a lifting standpoint. But, this is actually a positive and not a negative thing.
With a traditional facelift, surgeons can make wholesale changes to a person’s face, since they can reposition the face much higher through surgery.
PDO threads can certainly lift parts of your skin up, but not nearly as much as a traditional facelift. What this does, though, is result in a much subtler end result — but one that looks much more natural when compared to a traditional facelift.
Not only that, but as your body uses natural processes to break down the PDO threads after they’re inserted, it will produce extra collagen in the area. In addition to helping the results of the procedure last longer, the extra collagen also results in your skin looking smoother, shinier and more youthful.
And since collagen is a natural thing in your body, the results of the procedure are natural as well.
This is a major reason why PDO thread lifts are becoming so popular today, as patients can get a significantly-improved appearance in their face that looks natural and not fake.
