The Look of Surgical Results Without The Surgery

PDO Thread Lift

PDO Thread Lift in Richmond, VA

Lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery or significant downtime

PDO Thread Lifts offer the perfect solution between non-invasive injectables and surgical procedures. Fine polydioxanone threads are strategically placed to immediately lift and reposition sagging skin while stimulating your body's collagen production for lasting results. Even after the threads naturally dissolve, the new collagen they've created continues working, giving you long-term lifting and firming that goes far beyond what the threads alone provide.

Threads Can Pull, But Laser Resurfacing + Sculptra Can Turn Back Time.

PDO threads can offer temporary lifting and collagen stimulation, but we’ve found better, more natural-looking results through laser Resurfacing and Sculptra. These treatments not only support long-term collagen production, but also improve skin texture and create more refined results without the risk of thread migration, lumpiness, or a pulled look.

WHY WE PREFER Laser Resurfacing

Threads lift, but they don’t treat texture. Laser resurfacing directly addresses skin tone, fine lines, pore size, and overall quality, making it ideal for those who want smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin. CO₂ laser in particular not only stimulates collagen, but also improves how the skin looks and feels, something threads alone can’t do.

Treats Texture

Threads lift, but they don’t improve skin quality. CO₂ laser resurfaces the skin, smoothing lines, minimizing pores, and evening out tone for a visible glow-up.

Stimulates Collagen

Laser resurfacing also encourages collagen production, but with the added benefit of removing damaged surface skin to reveal healthier layers underneath.

More Customizable

Laser settings can be adjusted to treat everything from fine lines to deeper scars, offering a more targeted approach than thread placement allows.

WHY WE PREFER Sculptra

PDO threads lift, but Sculptra rebuilds. This collagen-stimulating injectable gradually restores facial volume and firmness from within, offering longer-lasting and more natural results. Instead of physically pulling the skin tight, Sculptra encourages your body to do the work, so the outcome is softer, smoother, and better aligned with your natural anatomy.

Long-Term Restoration

While threads offer a temporary lift, Sculptra rebuilds volume by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Results appear gradually and can last up to two years.

Natural-Looking Results

Sculptra enhances your facial structure subtly and progressively, no sharp angles or pulled look, just a softer, lifted version of you.

Collagen Boost

It’s especially effective in areas where volume loss and mild sagging go hand in hand, like the cheeks, jawline, and temples, where threads often can’t address the root cause.

WHAT YOU CAN expect

TREATMENT

Fine PDO threads are inserted into the subcutaneous layer using needles, then strategically pulled to lift and reposition sagging skin. Treatment is customized based on your specific areas of concern and desired lift.

RECOVERY

Minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. Some mild swelling and tenderness expected, but significantly less recovery than traditional facelifts.

RESULTS

Immediate lifting and repositioning effects visible right after treatment. Continued improvement over months as stimulated collagen production firms and tightens skin. Long-lasting results that persist even after threads naturally dissolve.

TESTIMONIALS

PDO Thread Lift FAQ

Is anything better than PDO Thread Lifts?

While PDO threads can offer a temporary lift, they’re not always the most effective long-term solution, especially if you’re looking for results that improve skin quality and last. In many cases, yes, there are better alternatives, depending on your goals.

At our practice, we often recommend Sculptra or CO₂ laser resurfacing instead of threads because they do more than just lift.

Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring lost volume and improving firmness. The results are soft, subtle, and long-lasting with no pulling or sharp contours.

CO₂ laser resurfacing targets texture, fine lines, large pores, and uneven tone while also boosting collagen deep below the surface. It’s a great option if your skin needs tightening and resurfacing.

If you’re trying to decide whether PDO threads are right for you or if these alternatives might give you better, more natural results, we’ll help you make the best call for your skin.

How Long Will PDO Threads for Skin Tightening Last?

The PDO threads will eventually dissolve over time, but the collagen they stimulate will remain, providing long-lasting results.

What Can I Expect During a PDO Thread Lift Treatment?

During the procedure, fine threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) are inserted into the subcutaneous layer of skin using a needle. The threads are then pulled tight to lift and reposition the skin. Doing so also stimulates the production of collagen, firming skin and ensuring lasting results.

How Much Does PDO Thread Lifting Cost?

The cost of treatment will depend on how many threads are needed and the specific area of the face being treated. During a consultation appointment with Cassie Lane, you can undergo an initial evaluation and determine the appropriate treatment type for your needs. Medical health insurance plans do not cover this treatment as it is considered a cosmetic and elective procedure.
