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 4โ6 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.
- Fully dissolvable PDO sutures โ no permanent implants
- Mono threads: jowl lift $1,100 both sides ยท submental $1,250
- Smooth threads: fine lines $350 ยท add-on $150/side
- Results lasting 12โ18 months as collagen remodeling continues
- No general anesthesia ยท minimal downtime ยท no incisions


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.
- Mono threads: structural lifting ยท jowls + submental
- Smooth threads: fine line softening ยท forehead, perioral, crow's feet, neck
- Combine both for comprehensive non-surgical rejuvenation
- Results develop over 4โ6 weeks as collagen builds
Treatment Areas & Indications
From structural jowl lifting to fine-line smoothing โ PDO threads address the full spectrum of non-surgical facial rejuvenation concerns.
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 4โ6 months: progressive collagen stimulation as threads dissolve โ results that improve over time.
Results Lasting 12โ18 Months
While the threads themselves dissolve in 4โ6 months, the collagen they stimulate remains for 12โ18 months. Many patients return for a maintenance treatment at 12 months to sustain and build on their results.
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 Threads FAQ
Pricing, downtime, and results โ every question answered honestly.
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.

PDO thread results typically last 12โ18 months. The threads themselves dissolve in 4โ6 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 4โ8 weeks as collagen builds. Peak results are usually seen at 8โ12 weeks. Most patients return for a maintenance treatment at 12 months to sustain and build on results.
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).
Expect 3โ7 days of mild downtime with swelling, tenderness, and possible bruising at insertion points. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 3โ5 days. Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massage for 2 weeks post-treatment. Results are visible immediately with full collagen improvement developing over 4โ8 weeks.
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 2โ3 out of 10 with proper numbing.
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.
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 12โ18 months vs years for surgery โ but for the right patient, threads offer excellent improvement at a fraction of the cost and risk.
