It’s hard for busy professionals today to step away and get a lot of time to themselves. Balancing work and home life can be challenging, too, and responsibilities can quickly gobble up available PTO days.
No matter what industry and specialty, busy professionals are always on the go. Yet, at the same time, they want to look and feel their best.
The busy lifestyle may stand in the way of some self-care routines, but it unfortunately doesn’t prevent them from succumbing to the common signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, sagging or drooping skin, or lack of definition.
With so much to do, busy professionals don’t have loads of time during the day to address these issues at a medical spa.
This is why PDO threads have exploded in popularity. Below, we’ll discuss the amazing benefits of PDO threads, and why the “Lunch Break Lift” has become so popular.
- PDO threads offer a quick, non-surgical solution for facial lifting and rejuvenation.
- The procedure is ideal for busy professionals — it’s often called the “Lunch Break Lift.”
- There’s minimal downtime, with most clients returning to work the same day.
- Results are both immediate and long-lasting thanks to collagen stimulation.
- V Soft Lift PDO threads are FDA-cleared and suitable for repeat treatments.
PDO threads are called the “Lunch Time Lift” because the treatments take less than an hour to complete. As such, you can go to your provider’s office and get a treatment done all on your lunch break.

What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are a minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment that can help address the common signs of aging and provide facial rejuvenation in the process.
The synthetic material that they are made from is 100% biocompatible and biodegradable. This means that there is a low chance of risks and that the body breaks down and dissolves them using natural processes.
PDO thread lifting procedures involve barbed threads that grab onto parts of your skin and underlying tissue. Your practitioner will use this type of thread to reposition your skin higher so that it mimics the results of a traditional facelift — without the invasive procedure.
In addition to the lifting effect, PDO threads also stimulate the production of collagen in the area. This helps the results last longer and also makes your skin look plumper, have more laxity and look more youthful.
Why Are PDO Threads Called the ‘Lunch Time Lift?’
PDO threads are called the “Lunch Time Lift” because the treatments take less than an hour to complete. As such, you can go to your provider’s office and get a treatment done all on your lunch break.
When you leave the office, you also won’t have many restrictions. You’ll be able to resume most of your day-to-day activities, though you should avoid deep facial massages or cleansing, strenuous exercise and certain medications for a couple weeks.
| Benefit | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Short Procedure Time | Treatments take less than an hour, often done during a lunch break. |
| Minimal Downtime | Patients can resume work and most daily activities immediately after. |
| Immediate Visible Results | Lift and definition are noticeable right away, with improvements over time. |
| Long-Term Collagen Boost | PDO threads stimulate collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin. |
| Repeatable Treatment | Safe to repeat regularly without long recovery periods. |
While you might experience some slight swelling and/or bruising following a treatment, this usually resolves itself within a week.
Combined with the short amount of time that the procedure takes, the limited downtime and recovery time is another reason why PDO threads are so popular among busy professionals.
They can go into the office, get the procedure done, and almost immediately resume their work. While they may experience slight bruising and/or swelling in the few days following the treatment, they won’t have to stop working for weeks while they recover in a dark room.
Time is money in business, and professionals simply don’t have the time to wait for results. With PDO thread treatments, busy professionals don’t have to wait, as they’ll be able to see some immediate results from their lifting treatment.
Those results will only get better over time, too, as the extra collagen is produced to help dissolve the threads.
PDO threads are not a permanent procedure, but busy professionals can repeat the treatment as often as they’d like to achieve the results they’re looking for.
