Dr. G Lift — Non-Surgical PDO Thread Facelift

The Dr. G Lift is Dr. Alexander GolBerg's proprietary non-surgical facelift combining MINT PDO threads, PRF, bio-stimulating agents, and exosomes in a single session. Results last up to 18 months with no surgery or general anaesthesia. Developed at 910 Park Avenue, Manhattan, the procedure mechanically lifts sagging tissue while simultaneously stimulating collagen and elastin production for progressive structural improvement.

The Dr. G Lift is the signature non-surgical facelift protocol developed by Dr. Alexander GolBerg at his Park Avenue practice — a multi-modality combination procedure that integrates MINT PDO (polydioxanone) threads, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), bio-stimulating agents, and exosomes into a single comprehensive session. Each component addresses a distinct mechanism of facial ageing. MINT PDO threads — a premium thread design with bi-directional barbs — are inserted subcutaneously via fine cannulas to mechanically lift ptotic tissue across the mid-face, jowls, jawline, and neck; the barbs anchor against fibrous septae, producing an immediate visible lift that tightens skin laxity without incisions. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), derived from a small blood draw taken at the start of the appointment and centrifuged at low speed without anticoagulants, releases growth factors including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and EGF from a three-dimensional fibrin scaffold over several days, stimulating local fibroblast activity and neocollagenesis. Bio-stimulating agents — which may include hyaluronic acid biostimulators or calcium hydroxylapatite-based products depending on the patient's tissue needs — provide structural support and collagen-stimulating signalling in areas of deep volume loss. Exosomes, nano-sized extracellular vesicles carrying microRNA and signalling proteins, provide an additional layer of intercellular communication that amplifies tissue repair beyond what growth factors alone deliver. The combination of an immediate mechanical lift from the threads with progressive biological remodelling from PRF, biostimulators, and exosomes produces results that mature over three to six months and are reported to last up to 18 months. Starting price is $3,500, with complex multi-area treatments reaching $7,500; Dr. GolBerg provides a personalised itemised treatment plan at consultation. The procedure carries no surgical downtime, with mild swelling and thread entry point marks resolving within five to seven days.
