Lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery using NovaThreads, our go-to PDO thread lift at The Acacia House. This treatment smooths fine lines, defines the jawline, and restores cheek volume. We use absorbable threads to stimulate collagen, leaving you naturally refreshed—with results that get better over time.
Lift and tighten facial skin without surgery
PDO thread lift is a non-surgical treatment that uses dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to subtly lift and tighten the skin. At The Acacia House, we use NovaThreads to target areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and around the mouth. Once placed beneath the skin, the threads provide an immediate lift while stimulating collagen for long-term rejuvenation. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind firmer, smoother skin.
PDO thread lift treats:
- Sagging cheeks and jowls
- Loose skin along the jawline
- Mild to moderate neck laxity
- Marionette lines and nasolabial folds
- Wrinkles around the mouth
- Drooping brows or eyelids
- Skin laxity in the mid-face
- Loss of facial contour and definition
How does PDO thread lift work?
PDO thread lift works by inserting thin, dissolvable threads just beneath the skin to lift and support sagging tissue. These threads are made of polydioxanone (PDO), a material safely absorbed by the body over time. As the threads dissolve, they trigger your skin’s natural healing response—boosting collagen production and improving firmness.
The result is a dual effect: an immediate lift and gradual skin tightening over the next several months. At The Acacia House, we use NovaThreads for precise placement and natural-looking results.
Benefits of PDO thread lift:
- Immediate lifting effect with no incisions
- Minimal downtime and quick recovery
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement over time
- Threads fully dissolve without scarring
- Customizable treatment for face and neck
- Safe, FDA-cleared materials (NovaThreads)
- Perfect for early signs of aging

Consultation
Your journey starts with a personalized consultation at The Acacia House. We take time to understand your goals, assess your facial structure, and determine whether a PDO thread lift is the best fit. We’ll walk you through what to expect, review your health history, and discuss any questions you have. If another treatment is better suited to your needs, we’ll guide you there.
Treatment
On the day of your treatment, we’ll apply a strong topical numbing cream and may use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Then, we’ll carefully place NovaThreads beneath your skin using a fine needle—no cuts or stitches needed. The threads are positioned to lift and reposition tissue while stimulating collagen in the exact areas that need support. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Recovery
You can expect mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days after your thread lift—nothing that should keep you from your usual activities. Most clients return to their routines within 24-48 hours. We’ll give you easy aftercare instructions, like avoiding heavy facial movements, vigorous workouts, or sleeping face-down for a few days.
Results
You’ll notice an instant lift right after your treatment, but the real magic happens over time. As the threads dissolve over the next few months, your skin will continue to improve—thanks to boosted collagen. The final results typically develop between 3-6 months and can last up to 15 months. You’ll look refreshed, lifted, and naturally rejuvenated—never overdone.
