PDO Thread Lifts in

Ventura & Thousand Oaks

Lift Naturally. Reclaim Your Confidence.

At XOXO Beauty Med Spa, we believe that aging gracefully means looking refreshed, not overdone. Our advanced PDO Thread Lift treatment offers a safe, non-surgical way to lift and tighten sagging skin by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.

Whether you're seeing early signs of aging or seeking a subtle lift without fillers or surgery, PDO Threads deliver natural-looking definition with minimal downtime.

What Is a PDO Thread Lift?

PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lifts use ultra-fine, biodegradable sutures placed just beneath the skin to reposition tissue, improve contour, and trigger deep collagen regeneration. Over time, these threads dissolve safely, leaving behind firmer, smoother, and lifted skin.

You’ll notice immediate improvement, with full results unfolding over the next few months as your skin rebuilds itself from within.

The Benefits of PDO Threads:

  • Non-surgical lift for cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows

  • Improved skin texture and elasticity

  • Natural collagen boost for long-term firmness

  • Minimal downtime and no general anesthesia

  • Long-lasting results (up to 18 months)

Treatment Areas We Target With PDO Threads

We use strategic thread placements to sculpt and refresh facial structure:

Treatment Area What It Treats
Lower Face Lift Jowls, smile lines, jawline sagging
Neck Lift Loose neck skin, lack of definition
Brow/Upper Face Lift Hooded lids, lowered brows, fine forehead lines
Combo Package Multi-zone lift for full facial rejuvenation

Your plan is customized based on anatomy, age, and skin goals.

What to Expect from Your PDO Thread Lift

Here’s a step-by-step look at how the treatment works, from your initial consultation to post-care guidance.

1. Consultation

We begin with a full facial assessment in our Ventura (Weds/Fri) or Thousand Oaks (Mon) office. You’ll meet with Dana Duarte, NP, to determine the ideal thread placement pattern based on your facial structure and desired outcomes.

2. Preparation

A local numbing agent is applied for comfort. We use sterile, gentle techniques and medical-grade threads to ensure precision and safety.

3. Thread Insertion

The threads are inserted just beneath the skin using a fine cannula or needle. You’ll feel slight pressure, but minimal pain, during the process.

4. Post-Treatment Protocol

Most clients return to regular activity the same day. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur for a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and collagen stimulation.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PDO Threads?

You may be a great fit if you:

  • Have mild to moderate facial laxity (sagging or drooping)

  • Prefer a subtle, natural lift without filler or surgery

  • Are between ages 30–65 with reasonable skin elasticity

  • Want real results with little disruption to your routine

However, patients with excessive laxity, autoimmune disorders, or bleeding conditions may not qualify. A consultation will ensure treatment safety.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most clients see an immediate lift after the procedure, with full collagen-boosting benefits unfolding over 3 to 6 months. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on your age, metabolism, and lifestyle.

You can repeat the treatment as needed or pair it with other services like Botox or Sculptra for enhanced results.

FAQs

  • You’ll notice an immediate lift right after your procedure. However, the most visible improvements - firmer skin, smoother texture, and enhanced contour - develop gradually over the next 4 to 12 weeks as your collagen production ramps up. Full results typically peak around 3 months and can last up to 18 months.

  • Most clients experience little to no downtime. You may have mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days, but these effects are temporary and usually very manageable. Avoid vigorous exercise, facial massages, or dental work for about 7 days after treatment to protect thread placement.

  • The number of threads depends on your facial anatomy, age, and treatment area. Small areas like the brows may require 4–6 threads, while a lower face lift may involve 8–12 threads. Dana Duarte, NP, will determine the exact pattern and count during your consultation to ensure balanced, natural-looking results.
