Lift and Contour Without Incisions

PDO threading in Fort Worth uses dissolvable threads to improve skin firmness and facial contour.

If your skin has started to sag along your jawline, cheeks, or neck, PDO threads can lift and reposition tissue without surgery. These threads are inserted beneath your skin using fine needles, then anchored to provide immediate lift while stimulating collagen production over time. In Fort Worth, where sun exposure and heat contribute to skin aging, this treatment offers a way to restore contour without the recovery time or risks associated with surgical procedures.

Oakley Aesthetics customizes thread placement based on where you have lost firmness and what areas you want to lift. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting with local anesthesia to reduce discomfort. Results are visible immediately, and improvement continues as your body produces new collagen around the threads. Some people choose this treatment alone, while others combine it with other skin treatments to address multiple concerns.

How threads are placed and what changes

During your appointment, the treatment area is numbed and marked to guide thread placement. Fine needles or cannulas insert the threads beneath your skin, and once in place, they are gently pulled to lift sagging tissue. In Fort Worth, this is done in a controlled environment using sterile equipment and techniques designed for facial anatomy. The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many threads are used and which areas are treated.

After treatment, you will notice an immediate lift in the areas where threads were placed. Over the next several weeks, your body produces collagen around the threads, which gradually dissolve but leave behind firmer tissue. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common for a few days, but most people return to work within a day or two. The lifting effect peaks around three months and can last up to a year or longer depending on your skin and lifestyle.

This treatment does not stop future aging, and results will fade as your skin continues to lose collagen naturally. Some people return for maintenance treatments once or twice a year to maintain the lift. PDO threading does not replace surgical facelifts, but it does provide noticeable improvement for those with mild to moderate sagging.

You likely have questions before deciding

People considering PDO threading often want to know how long results last, what recovery looks like, and whether the threads are safe. These are practical concerns that help you decide if this treatment fits your goals and schedule.

What areas can be treated with PDO threads?
PDO threads are commonly used on the lower face, jawline, neck, and cheeks. They work best on areas with mild to moderate sagging where tissue has begun to droop but still has enough elasticity to respond to lifting.
How long do the threads last?
The threads themselves dissolve over six to twelve months, but the collagen they stimulate remains. Most people see results for a year or longer, though this varies based on age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.
What does recovery involve?
You may have swelling, bruising, and tenderness for a few days. Most people return to work within 24 to 48 hours, but you should avoid strenuous activity, facial massage, and extreme facial movements for at least a week.
How does PDO threading compare to surgery?
PDO threading provides a noticeable lift without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended downtime. It is appropriate for people with mild to moderate sagging who want improvement but are not ready for or do not need a surgical facelift.
What happens during the procedure?
Your skin is numbed, and threads are inserted using needles or cannulas. The threads are positioned beneath your skin and gently pulled to lift tissue, then trimmed. You remain awake throughout, and the procedure is performed in a clinical setting in Fort Worth.
