Book NowLift and definition, without adding fullness.
PDO lifting threads are placed beneath the skin to gently reposition and support tissue. They can create a subtle lift for mild sagging, though they do not offer the same change as a surgical facelift.

Subtle lift & definition
Bring a little lift and definition to areas of mild sagging, with the aim of a refreshed contour.
Face & neck
Start with XO’s face and neck consultation. Tell us where you notice a change, and we’ll help you compare threads with other options.
A dissolvable treatment
The threads gradually dissolve. How long the visible lift lasts depends on your skin and treatment. Plan for some swelling, bruising or tenderness as the area settles.

IMPORTANT TREATMENT INFORMATION
Read about recovery, side effects and who should avoid treatment in the questions below. We’ll also talk through these details before your appointment.
What kind of change can threads make?
Lifting threads can offer a subtle lift and more defined contour when sagging is mild. They do not add filler volume, and the amount of improvement depends on your skin and the treatment.
Which areas should I ask about?
XO offers a face and neck consultation. Your provider will look at the areas you want to address and explain whether threads or another approach would be a better fit.
Is every nonsurgical lift a PDO thread treatment?
No. A nonsurgical-lift name does not tell you the technique being used. Ask XO whether the recommendation involves threads or another approach. Thread lifting offers a smaller change and is not a substitute for a surgical facelift.
What should I plan for afterward?
Bruising, swelling and tenderness can happen. Ask about time away from exercise or other activities, and follow the aftercare for your treatment. Contact XO promptly about increasing pain or visible threads.
Which type of PDO thread will be used?
XO’s menu lists Lifting PDO Threads and Smooth/Twisted PDO Threads, including a smooth/twisted add-on option. PDO describes the dissolvable material, not one single treatment design.
Lifting threads are used to support and reposition tissue; other designs should not be assumed to create the same lift. Your provider will explain the exact thread type, purpose and area in your proposed plan.
Who should avoid treatment, and what are the risks?
Thread procedures can cause bruising, swelling, pain, infection, visible or extruding threads, and an unsatisfactory result. Additional intervention may be needed. Ask for the risks and aftercare that apply to the actual device and technique being proposed. A minimally invasive label does not mean a procedure has no meaningful recovery or risk.
