PDO Threadlift in Manhattan Beach: Modern Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation

PDO Thread Lift in Manhattan Beach and Torrance

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that lifts and tightens areas such as the cheeks, jawline, nasal tip, eyebrows, and neck without surgery. Using fine, absorbable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO)—a material used safely in surgery—this procedure provides an immediate lifting effect and stimulates your own collagen for continued improvement. Dr. Kristin Egan performs PDO thread lifts in-office with local anesthesia for a comfortable, efficient experience.

How PDO Threads Work

PDO threads are carefully placed beneath the skin to create lift and support. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate natural collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area, and results can last 12-18 months.

Treatment Areas

• Mid-face and cheek area for lifting sagging skin

• Jawline and jowls for better definition

• Neck area for tightening loose skin

• Brow area for subtle eyebrow lifting

• Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

• Nasal tip elevation

What to Expect During Treatment

Your PDO thread lift begins with a consultation to assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals. The treatment area is numbed with local anesthesia, and the threads are strategically placed using thin needles or cannulas. You'll see immediate lifting results, with continued improvement as collagen production is stimulated over the following weeks.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to work within 1-2 days. You may notice some mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a week. Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massage for the first week to allow proper healing and optimal thread placement.
