PDO Thread
At Buford Care Medical Clinic, we offer PDO thread lifting, a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin without surgery. PDO threads are safe, absorbable sutures that have been used in medical procedures for many years. When placed under the skin, they create an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production for long-term firmness and improved skin texture.
PDO threads are ideal for patients looking for natural enhancement without significant downtime. They help restore definition, smooth sagging skin, and support areas that have lost volume due to aging.
Common treatment areas include:
- Jawline and jowls
- Cheeks and midface
- Neck and lower face
- Brows and forehead
- Under the chin
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
As the threads dissolve over the next several months, your body naturally produces more collagen, resulting in tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Results are subtle, natural, and continue to improve over time.
At Buford Care, all thread procedures are performed by licensed medical professionals trained in advanced facial anatomy to ensure safe, balanced, and beautiful outcomes.

How Your Treatment Will Go
We keep every step simple and comfortable so you know what to expect from consultation to results.
Consultation & Mapping
Your provider examines your skin laxity, discusses your goals, and maps the vectors where the threads will lift and support the tissue.
Cleansing & Numbing
We cleanse the area and apply a local anesthetic so the treatment stays comfortable from start to finish.
Thread Placement
Dissolvable PDO threads are inserted through a thin cannula or needle along the planned lines to lift the skin and hold it in place.
Shaping & Aftercare
Your provider smooths and sets the threads, then reviews aftercare. You will notice an immediate, subtle lift.
How to Prepare
A little preparation helps your appointment go smoothly. Please review the checklist below before your visit.
- Avoid blood-thinning medicines and supplements — aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E — for about a week to limit bruising.
- Skip alcohol for 24 to 48 hours beforehand and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
- Tell your provider about your medications, allergies, and any prior facial treatments or implants.
- Avoid scheduling right before a major event, as mild swelling or bruising can last several days.
Recovery Timeline
Here is what to expect as you heal and your results settle in.
Day of treatment
Expect mild swelling, tightness, and possibly small bruises or slight dimpling at the entry points. Most people return to light activities the same day.
First 1 to 2 weeks
Avoid wide mouth movements, facials, dental work, and sleeping on your face. Keep the skin clean and avoid pressure on the treated areas.
Weeks 2 to 4
Swelling settles and the threads soften as they integrate. The lift looks more natural and any dimpling resolves.
1 to 3 months
Collagen production increases, gradually improving skin firmness and texture beyond the initial lift.
12 to 18 months
The threads fully dissolve while the collagen they stimulated continues to support your results. Maintenance sessions extend the effect.

Questions about appointments
Have questions about scheduling or what to expect? Here are answers to common inquiries to help you feel fully prepared.
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed under the skin to lift, tighten, and stimulate collagen production. They provide immediate lifting with continued improvement over time.
Results typically last 12 to 18 months. While the threads dissolve within a few months, the collagen they stimulate helps maintain the lift longer.
Discomfort is minimal and managed with local numbing. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising and return to normal activities within a few days.
