Most clients feel only mild pressure or a brief tugging sensation as the threads are placed, since a local anesthetic or numbing cream is used beforehand. Afterward, some soreness, tightness, or mild bruising is common but typically fades within a few days.

A LIFT THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU, JUST REFRESHED

PDO Threads in Staten Island, NY

Q: What are PDO Threads?

PDO stands for polydioxanone, a biocompatible material that's been used safely in medical sutures for decades. In a thread lift, these thin threads are inserted beneath the skin using tiny barbs, cones, or anchors that grip and lift sagging areas of the face and neck. Once in place, they also stimulate your body's natural collagen production for longer-term rejuvenation, making them a popular alternative to a traditional surgical facelift for those wanting a less invasive option with shorter recovery time.

Q: How Long Do PDO Threads Last?

The threads themselves dissolve naturally in the body, typically within six to nine months. The visible lifting effect, however, often outlasts the threads themselves. Many clients see results lasting anywhere from several months to around two years, thanks to the collagen production the threads trigger along the way.

Q: What Areas Can PDO Threads Treat?

PDO threads are versatile enough to treat nearly any area of the face, though the cheeks, jawline, and lower face/neck are the most commonly treated regions, since they respond especially well to lifting and contouring.

Q: How Long is Recovery?

Downtime is minimal compared to surgery. Most clients return to normal activities within a few days, though it's best to avoid strenuous exercise and exaggerated facial movements for about a week while any swelling or bruising resolves.

Q: When Will I See Results?

You'll notice an immediate lift right after your treatment. Results continue to improve over the following one to two months as your body's collagen production ramps up, giving you a more gradual, natural-looking transformation.

Q: Are PDO Threads a Good Alternative to a Facelift?

For clients seeking a lifted, more youthful look without surgery or extended downtime, PDO threads are a popular middle ground. A surgical facelift offers longer-lasting results for more significant sagging, while PDO threads are ideal for those wanting a less invasive option with a quicker recovery.

PDO THREADS STATEN ISLAND, NY

Lift and Tighten Without Surgery

PDO Threads at The Formula’s Staten Island location are a minimally invasive way to achieve facial rejuvenation without going under the knife. Also known as a thread lift, this treatment uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck.

The threads deliver a subtle, immediate lifting effect and, over time, stimulate your body’s own collagen production for results that continue to improve.

Our Staten Island team is dedicated to helping you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance without the risks or downtime associated with a traditional facelift.

OUR PDO THREADS MENU

Choose the Formula That's Right for You

We believe that the first step to aging gracefully is improving the foundation of your skin. Working at your skin’s deepest levels, we focus on improving and maintaining good skin health.

Thread Cheek Lift

Mild Laxity

Threads are placed to reposition the fat pads of the cheeks leading to a higher cheek and a softer nasolabial fold. For many, placing filler in the nasolabial crease is not the treatment of choice. Threads placed here will lift the cheek making a more natural looking face softening this crease.

Thread Cheeks & Jowls

Moderate Laxity

Similar to Thread Cheek Lift, threads are placed to reposition the fat pads of the cheeks plus, we also place them along the jawline. With this formula we further lift the face leaving you with a more elevated cheek and sharper jawline.

The amount of threads used can range from 4-6 per side.

Thread Cheek, Jowl & Jawline

Advanced Laxity

Threads are placed to reposition the fat pads of the cheeks and the jawline plus we add them to the jowls for full face repositioning. The additional lift to the jowls thins the face by repositioning the heaviness from the bottom of the face in an upward vector. Although you will not get the exact results of a surgical face lift, patients have reported they notice the shape of their face looks much more youthful.

The amount of threads used can range from 8-10 per side.

Why Choose PDO Threads

The Benefits of a Non-Surgical Lift

Thread lifts are a proven way to restore lift and firmness without the downtime of surgery. Each treatment stimulates your body’s own collagen production, creating results that continue to improve as your skin naturally rejuvenates.

Immediate, Natural-Looking Lift

See a visible lift the moment you leave your appointment, without the frozen or overdone look some treatments can create. Threads work with your skin's natural movement for results that look like you, just refreshed.
Long-Term Collagen Benefits

Unlike treatments that only address the surface, PDO threads stimulate your body's own collagen production. Results continue to improve for months after your appointment, rather than fading right away.
Surgery-Level Results, Without the Surgery

Get many of the contouring benefits of a facelift with a fraction of the downtime, risk, and cost. Most clients return to normal activities within days, not weeks.

Concerns We Address

PDO Threads Target a Wide Range of Signs of Aging

From sagging jowls to volume loss, our thread lift treatments are customized to your specific concerns and goals.

Sagging Jowls

Restore a firmer, more defined jawline without surgery. Threads lift and reposition sagging tissue along the lower face, sharpening your profile.

Loose Neck Skin

Tighten and lift skin along the neck for a smoother, more contoured profile. Threads help re-establish structure in an area that's difficult to treat with topical products alone.

Nasolabial Folds

Soften the deep lines between the nose and mouth that tend to deepen with age. Lifting the surrounding tissue reduces the shadow and crease these folds create.

Marionette Lines

Lift downturned corners of the mouth for a more refreshed, less tired appearance. This is one of the most requested areas for a subtle, non-surgical improvement.

Drooping Brows

Subtly lift and open up the brow area without the look of "surprise" that can come with more aggressive treatments. Ideal for restoring a more alert, youthful expression.

Loss of Facial Volume

Restore contour to sunken or hollow areas, particularly in the cheeks and midface, where volume loss is often the first visible sign of aging.

Early Signs of Aging

Address mild-to-moderate sagging before considering surgery. PDO threads are a popular first step for clients who want results without committing to a facelift.

Uneven Jawline Definition

Sharpen and contour the lower face for a cleaner, more defined jawline, especially helpful as skin naturally loses elasticity with age.

Skin Laxity After Weight Loss

Tighten skin that's lost elasticity following significant weight loss, where volume changes have left behind loose or crepey skin.
