Cosmetic medicine treatments have come a long way in recent years. Modern versions such as PDO threads produce amazing anti-aging results without the need to undergo invasive surgery.
Face threads, in fact, are becoming a preferred treatment for people who are looking to address common problems such as drooping or sagging skin, lack of definition and contour, and wrinkles and fine lines.
PDO threads are able to address all of these common issues that people face as they age, and the procedure is quick, painless and has limited downtime and recovery time.
Unlike a surgical facelift, PDO threads treatments aren’t permanent, though that’s not necessarily a negative thing. That being said, many people wonder how long face threads last.
In this article, we’ll discuss how long face threads generally last, as well as some factors that play a role in that timeframe.
In general, the results from PDO threads will last about 18 months. However, the results can last even longer than that for some people and for some procedures

Most PDO threads treatments will take less than an hour to complete. If you are getting a thread lift that involves barbed threads, you will be able to see some of the results almost immediately, due to the fact that parts of your skin have been physically lifted from where it was before.
The true results of the procedure will take time to appear, regardless of what type of face threads treatment you got.
After the threads have been inserted into your face, your body will recognize the foreign object and start initiating different processes to break them down. During this process, your body will produce extra collagen, which aids in healing.
As the collagen breaks down the PDO threads, it will also help the results of your procedure appear more prominently. Plus, it will make your skin more elastic and plump, and give you a natural-looking, more youthful appearance.
In general, it may take a few months for the full results of your procedure to fully appear.
As mentioned, face threads produce amazing results, but they are not permanent. The good news is that you can repeat the procedure as you want to achieve your desired results.
In general, the results from PDO threads will last about 18 months. However, the results can last even longer than that for some people and for some procedures.
It’s difficult to put an exact timeframe on this, as there are many factors that play a role in how long the results last. This includes your age, skin type, metabolism speed, what type of treatment you’re getting and more.
Just like you can’t stop the aging process, you also can’t change your body’s biology. In other words, you can’t alter the main biological factors that typically influence how long face threads last — age, skin type and metabolism.
That being said, there are some things that you can do that could help increase how long the results from your face threads treatment last.
One of the most important things you can do is to increase your hydration levels. Drinking lots of water every day will help your body overall. It will also specifically help in the healing process from your treatment, and ensure that your skin remains plump and glowing.
It’s equally as important to eat a well-balanced diet, rich in the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that your body needs. You can even consider taking supplements and vitamins that would support the overall health of your skin.
While you don’t have to avoid sun exposure after face threads treatments, you should make sure to wear good sunscreen every day — regardless of what time of year it is. This will help prevent your skin from drying out and from being exposed to the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays.
It’s also a good idea to avoid smoking, which can stand in the way of the healing process.
Of course, you should always follow the post-care instructions that your practitioner gives you to ensure the best and longest possible results from your face threads procedure.
| Factor | Effect on Longevity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Age | Older skin may have reduced collagen production, shortening results duration. | Younger patients often see longer-lasting results. |
| Skin Type | Thicker or more elastic skin can hold results longer. | Individual differences apply. |
| Metabolism Speed | Faster metabolism may break down PDO threads quicker. | Results vary widely by person. |
| Hydration Levels | Well-hydrated skin remains plump and may hold effects longer. | Drink plenty of water daily. |
| Diet and Nutrition | A nutrient-rich diet supports skin health and healing. | Consider vitamins to boost results. |
| Sun Exposure | UV damage can shorten the lifespan of results. | Use daily SPF protection. |
| Smoking | Impairs healing and reduces longevity of results. | Strongly advised to avoid. |
| Post-Treatment Care | Following practitioner advice maximizes results. | Critical for best outcome. |
The results from face threads will generally last about 18 months, though that timeframe can vary from one person to the next. At the same time, there are many things you can do to extend the life of those results, including some of the tips we’ve provided above.
