PDO Thread Lift

A Subtle Lift with Lasting Results—No Surgery Required

If you’ve noticed sagging skin, loss of definition around the jawline, or early signs of facial aging, but you’re not ready for surgery, the PDO Thread Lift offers a minimally invasive solution. At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center in Cornelius, NC, we use this advanced technique to lift and contour the face while stimulating long-term collagen production—all without incisions or significant downtime.

We proudly serve the Lake Norman area, including Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, and the greater Charlotte region. Each procedure is performed by Dr. Minni Saluja, a fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologist with over 17 years of experience in facial aesthetics.

Precision matters—and when it comes to thread lifts, expertise is everything.

Why Choose a PDO Thread Lift at Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center?

Not all thread lifts are equal. These procedures are highly technique-sensitive, and poor placement or insufficient skill can lead to suboptimal results. Here's why patients trust us:

Performed Exclusively by Dr. Minni Saluja

Your procedure is never delegated. Dr. Saluja’s specialized training in facial anatomy ensures results that are natural, symmetrical, and safe.

Immediate Lift + Long-Term Collagen

The threads lift sagging skin instantly and continue working beneath the surface to build collagen and restore firmness over time.

Customized to You

Each lift is tailored to your unique facial structure, skin type, and goals—delivering elegant, age-defying results without a "pulled" look.

Minimal Downtime

The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia. Most patients return to their normal activities within a few days.

How PDO Thread Lifts Work

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are biodegradable sutures placed beneath the skin to physically lift tissue and stimulate a natural healing response. Over 3 to 6 months, the threads are absorbed by the body—but the effects last much longer.

We utilize two thread types:

Lifting Threads

Barbed threads strategically placed to elevate sagging skin in the midface, jawline, or neck.

Smooth Threads

Finer threads inserted to stimulate collagen and soften fine lines around the eyes, mouth, or cheeks.

This dual-action approach addresses both structural sagging and textural aging for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Areas Commonly Treated with PDO Threads

Jowls and jawline definition

Midface and cheek sagging

Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

Brows and upper face (non-surgical brow lift)

Benefits of PDO Thread Lifting

Long-term collagen stimulation for firmer skin

Fully customizable for natural-looking enhancement

Safe and effective for a wide range of ages and skin types

Frequently Asked Questions

Who performs the procedure?

All thread lifts are performed exclusively by Dr. Minni Saluja, who has advanced training in cosmetic dermatology and extensive experience with PDO threads. Her hands-on expertise ensures safe, artful placement for optimal outcomes.

How long do results last?

Most patients experience visible lifting that lasts 12–18 months. Over time, the collagen produced by your body helps maintain results even after the threads dissolve.

Does the procedure hurt?

Local anesthetic is used to ensure your comfort. You may feel pressure or a pulling sensation during placement, but most patients describe the experience as very tolerable.

What is the downtime?

Mild swelling or bruising is common and typically resolves within a few days. Some patients may notice slight puckering or tightness along the thread path immediately after treatment, which is expected and usually fades within 1 to 2 weeks as the skin adjusts and threads settle.

How soon can I return to daily activities?

You can resume light daily activities within 24–48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, facial massages, or dental procedures for about 1–2 weeks.
