People all over the world are realizing the tremendous anti-aging effects that PDO thread lifts can have. Instead of undergoing invasive surgery for a traditional facelift, people nowadays can have a PDO thread lift procedure that only requires local numbing agents.
There are numerous other benefits of a PDO thread lift compared to a facelift. This includes the fact that it’s more accessible since it’s less expensive, the results are more natural-looking, the downtime and recovery time are very minimal, and the procedure can be repeated as often as you’d like to maintain your desired results.
PDO threads have been used in aesthetic medicine procedures for more than 25 years now, and the fact that they can do so much for so many people means they’re likely to only increase in popularity.
People who haven’t gotten a PDO thread lift yet might not be fully aware of another major benefit of the procedure — the fact that it doesn’t take very long to complete.
Below, we’ll explain how long a PDO thread lift takes, explaining the different aspects of the procedure so you can feel comfortable and confident before getting it done.
In all, a PDO thread lift will normally take only about 45 to 60 minutes to complete from start to finish. What area of the face you’re getting treated will factor into the exact timeframe, but it shouldn’t take more than an hour regardless of what you’re getting done.

In the aesthetic medicine world, a PDO thread lift is often referred to as the “lunchtime lift.” The reason for this is that the procedure can typically be done during your lunch break.
In all, a PDO thread lift will normally take only about 45 to 60 minutes to complete from start to finish. What area of the face you’re getting treated will factor into the exact timeframe, but it shouldn’t take more than an hour regardless of what you’re getting done.
About half of that time, or 30 minutes, will usually be taken up by the preparation process. This includes your provider applying local numbing agents such as creams or shots into the area that will be treated as well as prepping the part of the skin that’s going to be treated.
Once that is done and you are sufficiently numb, the provider can begin the process of inserting the PDO threads into your skin. This will usually take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete, again depending on what area of the face is being treated and what is being done.
Depending on what you are getting done, you should be able to see at least some of the results of your PDO thread lift immediately once the procedure is done. You should be able to see parts of your skin lifted up from their previous position as well as some contouring as well — if you had that done.
The full results from any PDO threads procedure, though, will take a little time to develop. As your body breaks down the PDO threads, you’ll be able to see the results better. In most cases, this will take a month or two to complete.
There are various factors that will determine how long your body will take to break down the PDO threads. This includes your age, your skin type, your body’s metabolism and where the threads were inserted.
PDO threads are made from a synthetic material that is 100% biocompatible. This means that there is a very low likelihood that you will have a negative reaction to them.
They are also 100% biodegradable, which means that your body will use natural processes to break them down over time. This is a main reason why they’ve been used as dissolvable sutures in surgical procedures for nearly 60 years now.
Once the PDO threads are inserted into your skin, your body will recognize them as a foreign object. Your body will then begin to produce extra collagen in the area to help it heal.
As the collagen works to break down the PDO threads, the results of your procedure will gradually start to become more noticeable. In addition, the extra collagen that’s produced in that part of your skin will make your skin look plumper and more elastic, giving you a much more youthful look.
There are many reasons why PDO thread lifts are so desired today by people all across the world. One of the biggest advantages of the procedure is the fact that it only takes about one hour to complete, which allows you to achieve a more youthful look on your face during your lunch break, if you wish.
