Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for PDO Face Threads?
Sagging skin, jowls, and loss of facial definition are among the most common signs of aging. PDO (polydioxanone) face threads offer a remarkable non-surgical alternative to the traditional facelift, delivering instant visible lifting and tightening with continued improvement over months as the threads stimulate your body’s own collagen production. The procedure takes under an hour, requires no general anesthesia, and leaves no scars.

What Are PDO Face Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) face threads are FDA-approved absorbable sutures that are strategically placed beneath the skin to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the face. The threads create an immediate mechanical lift while simultaneously stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Over 4 to 6 months, the threads are naturally absorbed by the body, but the collagen they stimulate remains — providing long-lasting structural support and skin tightening.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every PDO thread procedure is performed with meticulous precision. After numbing the treatment area, Dr. Avaliani strategically inserts the threads using ultra-fine needles or cannulas at precise depths and angles. The entire procedure takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes, with results visible immediately and continuing to improve over the following weeks as collagen builds around the threads.
How PDO Face Threads Work
The PDO thread lift follows a straightforward, well-proven protocol:
Dr. Avaliani maps your facial anatomy and determines the optimal thread type, number, and placement angles for your goals
After thorough numbing, PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using ultra-fine needles or cannulas at precise depths
The threads create an immediate mechanical lift while triggering an inflammatory response that stimulates collagen production
Over 4–6 months, the PDO threads are naturally absorbed by the body as new collagen forms around the thread pathway
Results last 12–18 months for lifting procedures, with the collagen produced remaining yours to keep
Areas We Treat with PDO Threads
Saggy Cheeks & Midface
Lift and restore volume to sagging cheeks and midface area. Barbed PDO threads reposition descended tissue to its original youthful position, recreating the natural cheek contour and eliminating the tired, aged appearance caused by gravitational descent.
Jowls & Jawline
Tighten and lift sagging skin along the jawline to eliminate jowls and restore a sharp, defined jaw contour. PDO lift threads provide the mechanical support needed to counteract the gravitational descent that creates jowling and loss of facial definition.
Eyebrow Lift
Non-surgical brow lift using PDO threads to elevate and reposition drooping eyebrows. This creates a more open, alert, and youthful eye area without the scarring and recovery time associated with surgical brow lift. Results typically last 12 to 18 months.
Nasolabial Folds & Smile Lines
Smooth and soften deep nasolabial folds and smile lines using volumizing PDO threads. These specialized threads are designed to fill and lift deep wrinkles and folds, restoring smooth facial contours without the use of dermal fillers.
Neck & Chin Tightening
Tighten loose neck skin, improve tech neck lines, and lift the chin area for a more defined profile. PDO threads address the difficult-to-treat neck area where skin laxity and horizontal lines are among the first visible signs of aging.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Smooth superficial wrinkles and fine lines on the face using smooth PDO threads. These ultra-fine threads are placed just beneath the skin surface to stimulate localized collagen production, gradually smoothing wrinkles and improving skin texture over time.

Does It Hurt?
Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)
The treatment area is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia before any threads are placed, so the procedure itself is very well tolerated. Most patients describe feeling pressure or mild tugging sensations during thread insertion. The numbing process takes about 30 minutes, and the actual thread placement takes an additional 15 to 30 minutes.
Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation during the procedure. Post-treatment, you may experience mild soreness, swelling, or bruising for a few days, which is normal and expected. Dr. Avaliani recommends stopping blood-thinning medications 5–7 days before treatment and taking arnica supplements to minimize bruising.
