What Is a PDO Thread Lift?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable sutures introduced beneath the skin to achieve two effects:
- Instant lift: mechanically repositioning sagging tissue.
- Collagen stimulation: encouraging your skin to rebuild its own support over time.
These threads have been used safely in medicine for decades. Barbed PDO threads are FDA-cleared for mid-face suspension, which elevates the cheeks and softens nasolabial folds.
What Areas Are Treated With PDO Threads
Under the care of Dr. Schwarzburg, PDO threads can be used to lift and support areas where skin naturally begins to loosen, restoring definition and balance to the face and neck. They are especially effective for:
- Jawline & jowls
- Cheeks & midface
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Chin and lower face contour
- Brows & temples
- Neck laxity
PDO threads can be performed alone or in combination with dermal fillers, Botox, or Ellacor tightening for a comprehensive approach.
Before & After PDO Thread Lift
PDO threads deliver visible results that look natural both in person and on camera.
- Before: early jowls, soft jawline, sagging cheeks, and deepening folds.
- After: elevated midface, sharper jawline, smoother folds, and an overall refreshed appearance.
Results are immediate and continue to improve as collagen strengthens skin structure over the following months.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
According to Dr. Dmitriy Schwarzburg, PDO threads are best suited for men and women with mild to moderate skin laxity who want visible improvement without undergoing invasive surgery. They are most effective for patients in their 30s to 60s, serving as a bridge between injectables and a surgical facelift.
What to Expect During PDO Treatment With Dr. Schwarzburg
Every PDO thread lift at Skinly Aesthetics is performed personally by Dr. Schwarzburg, ensuring precision and patient comfort from start to finish. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Consultation & mapping: Dr. Schwarzburg evaluates your anatomy, discusses goals, and designs the treatment plan.
- Local anesthesia: Target areas are numbed to make the procedure comfortable.
- Thread placement: Using fine cannulas, PDO threads are placed along carefully mapped vectors and adjusted for optimal lift.
- Immediate lift & refinement: Threads are secured, contours are smoothed, and symmetry is confirmed.
- Total treatment time: The full PDO thread lift with Dr. Schwarzburg takes about 45–70 minutes.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients experience minimal downtime. Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, or tenderness. To protect your results:

- Sleep on your back with your head elevated for several nights.
- Avoid facial massages or aggressive movements until fully healed.
