PDO Thread Lifts in Cary, NC
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening and Facial Rejuvenation
Why Choose Dr. Addison Aesthetics for a PDO Thread Lift?
At Dr. Addison Aesthetics in Cary, NC, we offer the PDO Thread Lift, an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to tighten, contour, and rejuvenate the face without surgery. With extensive experience in advanced aesthetic procedures, Dr. Addison provides safe, effective, and lasting results using FDA-cleared PDO threads. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to lift and tighten your skin, the PDO Thread Lift at Dr. Addison Aesthetics is the perfect solution.
As we get older you might start to notice certain parts of your face begin to droop or sag. This happens with age because we start to lose collagen and elastin – the “glue” that holds your face together. Dr. Addison Aesthetics has your solution: our Cary PDO Threads.
PDO threads are specifically designed to help tighten and improve the appearance of sagging skin. The threads have also been known to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

- Non-surgical facelift – Instantly lifts sagging skin for a more youthful, contoured look.

- Minimal downtime – Patients can resume daily activities within 24-48 hours.
- Long-lasting results – PDO threads dissolve over time, but the collagen production extends benefits for 12-18 months.

What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO Thread Lift is a non-invasive procedure that uses Polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. The biodegradable threads are skillfully placed under the skin to lift instantly while stimulating collagen production for longer-term skin elasticity and texture improvements. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind firmer, tighter, and more youthful skin.
How the Procedure Works
Consultation
During your initial consultation at Dr. Addison Aesthetics, Dr. Addison will assess your skin concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if a PDO Thread Lift is the right treatment.
- Analyze your skin type, pigmentation concerns, and medical history.
- Determine the underlying cause of hyperpigmentation.
- Recommend the ideal treatment plan according to your skin’s needs
Treatment Process
- Local anesthesia is applied for patient comfort.
- PDO threads are then inserted into the treatment areas using a fine needle or cannula.
- The threads anchor into the skin, creating an immediate lifting effect.
- Over the next 3-6 months, the threads stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness.
- The treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, based on how many threads are used and which area is being treated.
Post-Treatment Recovery
- Most patients continue their normal routine within 24-48 hours.
- Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur but subsides within a few days.
- Results continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms around the threads.
Who is a Candidate for a PDO Thread Lift?
The PDO Thread Lift is ideal for individuals who:
- Want a non-surgical facelift due to mild to moderate skin laxity.
- Desire a natural-looking lift without the risks of invasive surgery.
- Want to tighten and contour areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Are looking for a preventative anti-aging solution.

Before and Aftercare Tips
- Before Treatment
- Refrain from taking blood-thinning medicines (such as aspirin and ibuprofen) a few days before the procedure to minimize bruising.
- Stay hydrated and maintain healthy skin care habits.

- Inform Dr. Addison of any allergies, medications, or medical conditions.
- After Treatment
- Avoid vigorous facial movements, chewing, or excessive talking for 24-48 hours.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights to prevent pressure on the treated area.
- Refrain from intense exercise, saunas, and hot showers for at least one week.
- Put cold compresses to reduce swelling and discomfort if needed.
- Do not touch or massage the treated area for two weeks.
PDO Thread Lift FAQs
How long do the improvements of a PDO Thread Lift last?
The PDO Thread Lift provides instant lifting, but the full benefits continue to improve as collagen production increases. Most patients enjoy results for 12-18 months before needing a touch-up.
Is the PDO Thread Lift painful?
The procedure is well-tolerated, as a local anesthetic is applied before the threads are inserted. Patients may experience mild discomfort during placement, but it is generally not painful.
How does a PDO Thread Lift compare to a traditional facelift?
A PDO Thread Lift is a non-invasive alternative to a facelift. While surgical facelifts provide dramatic, long-term results, the PDO Thread Lift is ideal for individuals seeking subtle lifting and skin tightening with minimal downtime.
Can a PDO Thread Lift be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Many patients enhance their results by combining a PDO Thread Lift with other non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox®, or laser skin resurfacing.
