Thread Lift

Thread lifts using PDO (polydioxanone) threads to mechanically lift sagging facial tissue and stimulate collagen production. Options include full face ($2,500) and lower face ($1,500) lifting protocols, as well as individual PDO barbed threads ($250/thread) and smooth collagen-stimulating threads ($650/area). Sessions run approximately 60 minutes. Results are associated with immediate lifting and progressive collagen support lasting 12–18 months.

Motykie Med Spa offers thread lift procedures as a non-surgical approach to facial tissue repositioning and collagen stimulation. The technique uses PDO (polydioxanone) absorbable threads — the same material used in dissolvable surgical sutures — inserted subdermally via a cannula to mechanically reposition descended facial structures and trigger a fibroblast-driven collagen envelope around the thread as it is resorbed over four to six months. The mechanical lift takes effect immediately; the secondary collagen formation that develops around the thread maintains the tissue support as the PDO dissolves, with the tissue supported by newly formed collagen from months six through eighteen post-procedure. Motykie Med Spa offers several thread configurations: barbed lifting threads for the full face ($2,500/session) or lower face only ($1,500/session) — with the lower-face protocol targeting jowling, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines; individual PDO barbed threads for targeted use ($250/thread); and smooth PDO collagen-stimulating threads ($650/area) for diffuse collagen induction across broader facial zones without lifting vectors. Common treatment areas include the mid-face, jowls, brow, and neck. At the clinic's Beverly Hills–adjacent location on Sunset Blvd, thread lifts serve patients who want facial repositioning results associated with surgical lifting but who are not ready for a surgical facelift or brow lift. Mild swelling and bruising at insertion sites typically resolve within five to seven days. The procedure is performed with local anaesthetic, and most patients return to social activities within one to two days.
