Face Lift

PDO Thread Face Lift

Facial aging is a natural biological process, but modern aesthetic medicine has made it possible to restore youthfulness without surgery. One of the most advanced and in-demand non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures worldwide is the PDO Thread Face Lift. In Pakistan, the popularity of PDO thread lifting has grown rapidly due to its instant lifting effect, collagen stimulation, minimal downtime, and affordability compared to surgical facelifts.

This comprehensive guide explains PDO thread face lift in Pakistan, including types of threads, their medical purpose, detailed price estimates, procedure process, safety, recovery, results, and why Aesthedoc Clinic is a trusted choice.

What Is PDO Thread Face Lift?

A PDO (Polydioxanone) thread face lift is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that uses absorbable medical sutures to lift sagging skin, redefine facial contours, and stimulate collagen production.

PDO threads have been safely used in surgery for decades. In aesthetics, they are inserted beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas to:

Lift sagging cheeks and jawline
Tighten loose skin
Improve facial symmetry
Stimulate natural collagen and elastin
Restore youthful firmness

Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind newly formed collagen that continues to support the skin.

Why PDO Thread Lift Is Popular in Pakistan

PDO thread lifting is becoming increasingly popular in Pakistan because it offers:

Non-surgical alternative to facelift
Minimal downtime (1–3 days)
Natural-looking results
Safe and FDA-approved material
Affordable pricing compared to surgery
Immediate lifting with long-term improvement

Cities like Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi have seen a major rise in demand, especially among patients aged 30 to 55 years.

How PDO Threads Work Inside the Skin

PDO threads work in two phases:

1. Immediate Mechanical Lift

The threads physically lift sagging tissue, repositioning skin to a more youthful location.

2. Biological Collagen Stimulation

As PDO dissolves over 6–8 months, it stimulates:

Type I and III collagen
Improved blood circulation
Skin tightening and firmness

The result continues to improve for several months after the procedure.
