PDO Thread Lift
Dissolvable Collagen "Lifting" Threads
PDO Threads: Lift and Rejuvenate Naturally in Wilton, CT
PDO threads are a minimally invasive treatment, offered at Melluna Whole Body Health & Aesthetics, designed to lift sagging skin, enhance facial contours, and stimulate collagen production, all without surgery or significant downtime.
This advanced procedure uses absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads, a biocompatible material that has been safely used in medical sutures for decades, to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results.
PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin to provide an immediate lifting effect in areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows. As the threads are absorbed by the body over several months, they stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity, firmness, and texture. This dual-action effect means you’ll see both instant results and continued improvement over time.
At Melluna, we use PDO Max PDO threads. PDO Max is FDA Cleared-in-Cannula and offers the safest, most effective solution possible for both patients and practitioners.

FAQs
What is a PDO thread lift, and what does it do?
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment offered at Melluna Whole Body Health & Aesthetics in Wilton, CT that lifts sagging skin, enhances facial contours, and stimulates collagen production — all without surgery or significant downtime. Absorbable threads are inserted beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect while also triggering long-term collagen renewal.
What does PDO stand for, and what are PDO threads made of?
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a biocompatible synthetic material that has been safely used in medical sutures for decades. PDO threads are fully absorbable, meaning they dissolve naturally in the body over several months while simultaneously stimulating collagen production in the treated areas.
How does a PDO thread lift work?
PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using a cannula, where they provide an immediate mechanical lift to sagging tissue. As the threads dissolve over the following months, they stimulate the body's natural collagen production, improving skin firmness, elasticity, and texture. This dual-action process delivers both instant visible results and continued improvement over time.
What brand of PDO threads does Melluna use?
Melluna uses PDO Max threads, an FDA-cleared in-cannula thread system. PDO Max is selected for its safety profile and effectiveness, offering a highly controlled and precise application for both patients and practitioners.
When will I see results from a PDO thread lift?
PDO thread lifts provide an immediate lifting effect right after treatment. Results then continue to improve over the following months as the threads stimulate new collagen production, with the full benefits typically visible as the skin remodels and firms.
How long do PDO thread lift results last?
The threads themselves dissolve naturally within several months, but the collagen stimulation they trigger continues to benefit the skin well beyond that point. Results from a PDO thread lift at Melluna can last up to one to two years, depending on the patient's age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.
How is a PDO thread lift different from a surgical facelift?
A surgical facelift physically removes excess skin and repositions underlying tissue under general anesthesia, requiring weeks of recovery. A PDO thread lift achieves a lift by inserting absorbable threads beneath the skin with minimal downtime. While a surgical facelift may produce more dramatic results, a PDO thread lift is ideal for patients seeking a natural, rejuvenating improvement without the risks and recovery associated with surgery.
Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments at Melluna?
Yes. PDO thread lifts are frequently combined with other treatments at Melluna — such as dermal fillers, neurotoxins, or biostimulators like Sculptra® — for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation result. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
Who is a good candidate for a PDO thread lift at Melluna?stion
PDO thread lifts are ideal for patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity in areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, or brows who want visible lifting and skin improvement without surgery.
