What are PDO Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures inserted beneath the skin to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate targeted areas โ€” without surgery, incisions, or general anesthesia. The same biocompatible material used in cardiovascular surgery, PDO threads are fully absorbed by the body over 4โ€“6 months while stimulating a sustained collagen-building response that extends results well beyond the thread’s lifespan.

At House of Aesthetics Med Spa in Huntington Beach, we offer two distinct PDO thread types โ€” Mono threads for lifting and structural tightening (jowls, submental), and Smooth threads for fine line softening and skin quality improvement โ€” each with precise pricing and no hidden fees.

What are PDO Mono & Smooth Threads in Huntington Beach
Mono vs Smooth Threads

Understanding the Two Thread Types

PDO Mono Threads are smooth, single-strand sutures that act as scaffolding beneath the skin. Inserted in a mesh pattern, they immediately provide structural support and trigger a collagen cascade around each thread as the body absorbs them. Mono threads are the treatment of choice for jowl lifting / side, or both) and submental (under-chin) tighteningย โ€” areas where tissue laxity needs mechanical support.

PDO Smooth Threads are even finer sutures inserted individually into specific fine lines and wrinkles. Rather than lifting, they stimulate hyaluronic acid and collagen production within the treated line itself โ€” smoothing it from the inside out. Available standalone or as an add-on to jowl mono threads per side or both.

What PDO Threads Treat

Treatment Areas & Indications

From structural jowl lifting to fine-line smoothing โ€” PDO threads address the full spectrum of non-surgical facial rejuvenation concerns.

01
Jowl Lifting
PDO Mono threads create a mechanical lift of the jowl area โ€” immediately supporting descended tissue while stimulating long-term collagen remodeling. $550 per side, $1,100 total for both sides.
02
Submental Tightening
Under-chin and neck laxity responds beautifully to PDO Mono threads โ€” tightening loose skin and reducing the appearance of early jowling and neck laxity without surgery. $1,250 total.
03
Forehead Fine Lines
Smooth threads inserted along horizontal forehead lines stimulate collagen directly within each line โ€” softening them progressively without restricting expression. Available as standalone $350 or add-on.
04
Perioral Lines
Fine lines around the mouth ("smoker's lines") that are resistant to Botox and filler respond to smooth thread stimulation โ€” collagen building from within each individual line.
05
Crow's Feet & Eye Area
Delicate smooth threads placed along crow's feet and under-eye lines trigger collagen production in the fine skin of the eye area โ€” where traditional treatments can be challenging.
06
Neck Lines & Laxity
Both mono and smooth threads can be used on the neck โ€” mono threads for tightening loose skin, smooth threads for softening horizontal neck lines ("necklace lines").
Clinical Advantages

Why Choose PDO Thread Treatments?

No Surgery ยท No Incisions

PDO threads deliver real structural lifting and collagen stimulation without a surgical procedure, general anesthesia, scarring, or the extended recovery of a traditional facelift. A genuine non-surgical alternative.

Dual Action: Lift + Collagen

PDO threads work in two phases. Immediately: mechanical support and subtle lifting as threads are placed. Over 4โ€“6 months: progressive collagen stimulation as threads dissolve โ€” results that improve over time.

Results Lasting 12โ€“18 Months

While the threads themselves dissolve in 4โ€“6 months, the collagen they stimulate remains for 12โ€“18 months. Many patients return for a maintenance treatment at 12 months to sustain and build on their results.

Who Is It For?

Are You a Candidate for PDO Threads?

PDO threads are ideal for patients with early to moderate laxity who want real lifting results without surgery. At our Huntington Beach clinic, every patient receives a personalized thread plan based on their anatomy and goals.

Loose Submental Skin

Early under-chin laxity, loss of jawline definition, or neck skin looseness that falls short of requiring surgery but is bothering the patient.

Early to Moderate Jowling

Visible jowling or facial laxity that is noticeable at rest โ€” PDO mono threads create mechanical support while stimulating long-term collagen remodeling.

Fine Line Concerns

Persistent fine lines in the forehead, around the mouth, crow's feet, or neck that are not fully addressed by Botox or dermal filler alone.

Surgical Alternatives Sought

Patients who are not ready for or do not want a surgical facelift โ€” PDO threads offer real lifting results with minimal downtime and no incisions.

PDO Threadlift Process Huntington Beach
The Process

What to Expect During Treatment

PDO thread placement requires precision and expertise. Hereโ€™s the complete protocol at House of Aesthetics Huntington Beach.

#01
CONSULTATION & TREATMENT MAPPING
Your provider assesses your facial laxity, tissue quality, and specific concerns. The optimal thread type, count, and placement pattern is mapped for your anatomy. Pricing is confirmed: jowl mono $1,100 both sides, submental $1,250, smooth threads $350 standalone or $150/side add-on.
#02
NUMBING & PREPARATION
Topical numbing cream is applied for 20โ€“30 minutes, followed by local anesthetic injections at entry points. The face is cleansed and entry points marked. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during the procedure once numbing is complete.
#03
THREAD PLACEMENT
Using a fine needle or cannula, threads are inserted beneath the skin at precisely mapped points. Mono threads are placed in a supportive pattern for lifting; smooth threads are inserted directly into fine lines. The full procedure takes 45โ€“90 minutes depending on treatment areas.
#04
RECOVERY & RESULTS
Expect 3โ€“7 days of mild swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising. Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massage for 2 weeks. Results are visible immediately with lifting effect. Over 4โ€“8 weeks, collagen builds progressively โ€” most patients see peak improvement at 8โ€“12 weeks, lasting 12โ€“18 months.

Tried the PDO threads with Kathleen for the first time and I'm lowkey obsessed. Just mono and smooth, nothing crazy. My neck was getting that crepey thing and my jawline was kinda soft. Not anymore. You feel some tugging but she's so fast it's over before you freak out. A little sore after but nothing bad. Already looks tighter and it's only been a few weeks. Going back for more.
Lauren S

so I've been looking at my face in zoom calls and hating how my cheeks are just... dropping. Like not major but enough to bug me. Didn't want a facelift obviously. Kathleen at House of Aesthetics in HB suggested PDO Mono & Smooth threads. I said yes but I was nervous. The numbing cream helped a lot. Honestly the weirdest part is just feeling the thread go in but she talks you through it and it's over in like 20 minutes. Next day some swelling but nothing crazy. Now about a month later? My lower face just looks more lifted and my skin texture is smoother too which I didn't expect from the smooth threads. No scars, no weird lumps. I can smile and chew normal. Going to do it again in 6 months. If you're on the fence just go see Kathleen seriously.

How much do PDO threads cost in Huntington Beach?

At House of Aesthetics Med Spa in Huntington Beach, PDO thread pricing is: Jowl Lifting (PDO Mono Threads): $550 per side, $1,100 for both sides. Submental (under-chin) Tightening (PDO Mono Threads): $1,250. Smooth Threads for Fine Lines & Wrinkles (standalone): $350. Smooth Threads add-on to Jowl Mono Threads: $150 per side, $300 for both sides. A $150 non-refundable deposit is required to book.

How long do PDO thread results last?

PDO thread results typically last 12โ€“18 months. The threads themselves dissolve in 4โ€“6 months, but the collagen they stimulate remains long after. Results are visible immediately after placement (from the mechanical lifting effect) and continue to improve over 4โ€“8 weeks as collagen builds. Peak results are usually seen at 8โ€“12 weeks. Most patients return for a maintenance treatment at 12 months to sustain and build on results.

What is the difference between PDO Mono and Smooth threads?

PDO Mono threads are smooth, single-strand sutures inserted in a mesh pattern to provide structural support and lift โ€” used for jowls ($1,100 both sides) and the submental area ($1,250). PDO Smooth threads are finer sutures inserted directly into specific fine lines and wrinkles โ€” stimulating collagen production within the line itself to soften it from the inside out. Available standalone ($350) or as an add-on to mono thread treatment ($150/side, $300 both sides).

Is there downtime after PDO thread treatment?

Expect 3โ€“7 days of mild downtime with swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising at insertion points. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 3โ€“5 days. Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massage for 2 weeks post-treatment. Results are visible immediately with full collagen improvement developing over 4โ€“8 weeks.

Do PDO threads hurt?

PDO thread placement is performed under topical numbing cream plus local anesthetic injections โ€” making the procedure very well tolerated by most patients. Some pressure and mild sensation is expected during thread insertion, but significant pain is uncommon. Most patients rate their discomfort as 2โ€“3 out of 10 with proper numbing.

Can I combine PDO threads with other treatments?

Yes โ€” PDO threads combine effectively with other treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation. Most popular combinations: PDO threads + Botox or Daxxify (threads lift, neurotoxin relaxes dynamic wrinkles), PDO threads + dermal fillers (threads tighten, fillers restore volume), and PDO threads + BBL Hero or Clear Silk (threads for structure, laser for skin quality). Your provider will recommend a sequenced treatment plan at consultation.

How do PDO threads compare to a surgical facelift?

PDO threads offer a genuine non-surgical alternative for patients with early to moderate jowling and laxity. They deliver real mechanical lifting and collagen stimulation without surgery, anesthesia, incisions, or extended recovery. Results are less dramatic than a surgical facelift and last 12โ€“18 months vs years for surgery โ€” but for the right patient, threads offer excellent improvement at a fraction of the cost and risk.
