PDO Threads: The Non-Surgical Facelift Revolution in South Jersey

What Are PDO Threads And How Do They Work?

Fine lines, sagging along the jawline, or a tired-looking midface can slowly change how you feel about your reflection. If you are not ready for surgery but want a visible lift, PDO Threads in Hammonton and South Jersey can offer that refreshed look with less downtime and a more gradual, natural change.

At Awaken Aesthetics, our PDO thread lift service is designed for people who want real results while still looking like themselves. Here is how it works, what to expect, and why so many South Jersey patients are asking about it.

What Are PDO Threads And How Do They Work?

PDO stands for polydioxanone, a dissolvable material that has been used safely in medical sutures for years. When we place PDO threads under the skin, they do two important things at once:

Provide a gentle internal “scaffold” that lifts and repositions sagging tissue.
Stimulate your own collagen production over time, improving firmness and texture.

At Awaken Aesthetics, we perform a thread lift using very fine PDO threads that are carefully inserted under the skin in targeted areas. Once in place, they reposition the tissue and support areas of volume loss. Over the following months, your body responds by building new collagen around those threads. The threads then gradually dissolve, but the collagen they helped create remains, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful look.

This is why PDO threads are often grouped with anti-aging treatments that enhance the skin from the inside out rather than simply sitting on the surface.

Smooth Threads vs. Lifting Threads: What We Offer

Not all PDO threads are used the same way. At Awaken Aesthetics, our thread services are individualized and may include:

1. Smooth Threads

Smooth threads are placed in a pattern under the skin to improve skin quality, not to “pull” or lift. They are ideal for:

Crepey or thinning skin on the face, neck, or chest
Early textural changes or mild laxity
Acne scars and areas that look less firm than they used to

By increasing blood flow and stimulating collagen, smooth threads help the skin look fuller, more even, and more resilient over time.

2. Thread Lift For Visible Lift

Our thread lift treatment focuses on lifting and contouring rather than skin texture alone. These threads are strategically positioned to:

Soften jowls along the jawline
Elevate the midface and cheeks
Improve definition around the lower face and neck

Patients often notice immediate improvement after treatment, with full results developing as collagen builds. At Awaken Aesthetics, results from a thread lift typically last 18 to 24 months, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and aging patterns.

For many patients, this feels like a minimally invasive facelift that fits their schedule and comfort level better than surgery.

PDO Threads As A Non-Surgical Facelift Option

If you are considering a facelift but are not ready for the commitment, threads can bridge that gap. A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical facelift alternative that:

Is performed in the office with local numbing
Avoids incisions and general anesthesia
Has minimal downtime compared to surgery

You might experience temporary swelling, mild bruising, or a slight “tight” sensation in the treated areas. These effects usually fade over several days, and most patients return to normal activities soon after.

While the results are not as dramatic as a surgical facelift, many people appreciate that threads give noticeable improvement without making them look like a different person.

Areas We Can Treat With PDO Threads

PDO threads are very versatile. At Awaken Aesthetics, we can use them on both the face and body, including:

Upper, mid, and lower face
Jawline and jowls
Neck
Arms, abdomen, and thighs (for mild skin laxity and crepey skin)

We also frequently combine threads with other skin tightening treatments and injectables. For example, neurotoxin injections in the same region can soften muscle movement and help smooth the surface while the threads work beneath the skin to support and lift the tissue.

This layered approach allows us to design PDO threads treatment plans that match your unique anatomy and goals rather than offering a one-size-fits-all procedure.

What Results And Timeline Can You Expect?

One of the reasons patients in Hammonton and throughout South Jersey love PDO threads is the mix of immediate and gradual results.

Right after treatment: You can usually see a lift and improved support in the treated areas.
3 to 4 weeks: Collagen production picks up, and the skin begins to look firmer and more refreshed.
Several months and beyond: The threads dissolve, but the new collagen remains. Many people see ongoing improvements in texture and tightness during this period.

In our experience, results from the thread lift portion can last around 18 to 24 months, while the skin-strengthening benefits from smooth threads can set the stage for better long-term aging.

For patients who already have a routine of injectables, peels, lasers, or other anti-aging treatments, PDO threads often become a powerful addition rather than a replacement.

Is A PDO Thread Lift Right For You?

You may be a good candidate if:

You notice sagging, softening, or hollowness in the midface or jawline.
You feel your skin looks “tired” but you are not ready for surgery.
You want more lift than skin care or injectables alone can provide.
You can handle a bit of downtime for swelling or bruising, but prefer to avoid a long recovery.

During your consultation at Awaken Aesthetics, we will examine your features, discuss your goals, and explain how threads fit with other options, such as fillers, neurotoxins, or energy-based treatments. Our priority is always to “keep you, you” while helping you feel more confident in your own skin.
