At Embrace Eternal Beauty Aesthetics & Wellness, we specialize in advanced, physician-performed PDO Thread Lifts designed to restore youthful structure, redefine contours, and stimulate natural collagen production — without surgery or extended downtime.
This is lifting, refined.
What Is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to:
- Lift sagging cheeks and jowls
- Improve jawline definition
- Elevate brows
- Tighten neck laxity
- Stimulate long-term collagen production
Unlike traditional facelift surgery, PDO threads provide immediate mechanical lifting combined with gradual biologic rejuvenation. All procedures are personally performed by Dr. John Mark Pabona, MD, FACP, ABIM, AAAM, ensuring precision, symmetry, and safety.
How a PDO Thread Lift Works
PDO threads are carefully inserted under local anesthesia using fine cannulas. Depending on your anatomy and goals, we may use:
- Cog threads – for lifting and repositioning tissue
- Smooth threads – for collagen stimulation and skin tightening
- Screw/twist threads – for volume support
Unlike traditional facelift surgery, PDO threads provide immediate mechanical lifting combined with gradual biologic rejuvenation. All procedures are personally performed by Dr. John Mark Pabona, MD, FACP, ABIM, AAAM, ensuring precision, symmetry, and safety.
The threads dissolve over 4–6 months, but collagen remodeling continues for up to 12–18 months. The result:
- Natural lift
- Improved skin firmness
- Subtle yet powerful rejuvenation
