Skip to content PDO threads lift and tighten sagging skin tissue by using polydioxanone threads. The lifting thread is introduced deep into the layer of the skin and produces three effects:
Instant skin lifting through mechanical effects
Cellular renewal through collagen stimulation and neovascularization to improve texture, fine lines, and wrinkles
Skin tightening by approximating tissues
Threads disappear through hydrolysis after six months. The lifted facial contours can persist for up to 2 years due to cellular rejuvenation. PDO thread treatments are safe and have very few side effects.
At RUMA Medical, PDO thread lifts are performed by skilled providers who customize the treatment to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Patients in Lehi and surrounding areas trust RUMA Medical providers to offer subtle, natural-looking lifting and rejuvenation without surgery.

Full-face thread lifts are cosmetic procedures that lift and sculpt your face. Thread lifts use medical-grade suture material with invisible, painless barbs that grab onto your skin. These barbs ensure the threads grip the underlying tissues and muscles as they are pulled tight. In addition, the threads and barbs lift your skin and reduce wrinkling.
Since the 1990s, thread lifts have been available for face lifting, but today, there are innovations in the material used for the threads. The threads are temporary and dissolve within a year. After that, the effect begins to decrease, but a secondary rejuvenation effect takes over.
Once threads are inserted under your skin, your body’s healing response is triggered. Your body discovers the suture material and stimulates collagen production in the lifted areas. Collagen fills gaps in sagging skin and helps restore a youthful look to your face.
Full-face thread lifts include the entire face and neck, plus the forehead, cheeks, upper and lower eyelids, lips, jaw, and neck. The total area is numbed with a local anesthetic as many sutures as needed are slid into the elevated tissue in place. Full face thread lifts eliminate as many wrinkles and fine lines as possible.
Full-face thread lifts are minimally invasive and a great alternative to facelift surgery. Thread lifts are low-risk and have minimal recovery time.

PDO threads will create a V-shape on your face. It creates a scaffolding that supports tissues that have been inverted or diminished due to aging. It delicately lifts tissues and repositions your skin, recreating a firmer face.
Thread lifts can be used anywhere on the body, but they work best on the face and neck. PDO threads can also be used to lift and tighten skin on the upper arms, stomach, above the knees, and thighs.
Numbing will be provided both topically and via injection during the procedure. Threads are inserted strategically under the skin. Inserted threads grasp droopy skin and reposition your skin. There are no cuts or incisions, as all treatments are done by injection.
Full-face threads usually take about 45 minutes to an hour, and you can get back to your daily activities right after the procedure.
Thread lifts tighten your skin by inserting medical-grade threads into your face, then having your aesthetician pull them up. The pulling action tightens your face.
Symptoms after the procedure may include bruising, swelling, and redness, but they usually resolve quickly.
The threads dissolve within 6-12 months through natural hydrolysis, but the lifting effects can last up to two years due to continued collagen production and tissue rejuvenation.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Minor swelling and bruising typically resolve within a few days, with full results visible after 2-4 weeks.
