Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about PDO Thread Lift.

Results vary by technique and individual factors but commonly last 12–24 months. Some clients maintain improvement longer with follow-up treatments, good skincare, and healthy lifestyle. Dissolvable threads stimulate collagen, so improvement can continue even after threads dissolve.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort thanks to local anesthesia and topical numbing. You may feel pressure or pulling but pain is generally mild. Swelling and soreness are common during recovery and typically resolve within a week or two with recommended aftercare.

Ideal candidates have mild-to-moderate skin laxity and seek a less invasive lift than surgery. Good overall health, realistic expectations, and commitment to post-procedure care are important. Severe sagging or medical contraindications may require surgical consultation instead.

Temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, mild asymmetry, and small puncture marks. These typically subside within days to weeks. Serious complications are rare but can include infection or thread migration—prompt evaluation and care minimize these risks.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements, alcohol, and smoking as advised before your appointment. Arrive with a clean face and discuss medical history, medications, and expectations during consultation. Follow specific pre-care instructions provided by Ageless by Natasha RN for best results.

Initial recovery takes several days: expect swelling and bruising for one to two weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise and facial massages for about two weeks. Final results settle over two to three months as collagen remodels and threads dissolve.
