PDO Threadlift (Non-Surgical Facelift)

PDO Threadlift (Non-Surgical Facelift) in Bend, OR

At W Aesthetics & Wellness in Bend, OR, we proudly offer MINT™ PDO Threads — the gold standard in non-surgical facelifting. This advanced thread-lifting treatment is designed to instantly lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production, offering both immediate and long-term rejuvenation. Whether you’re looking to redefine your jawline, elevate the cheeks, or smooth deep folds, our Bend-based aesthetic team provides a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for a refreshed, youthful appearance.

As we age, skin laxity becomes more visible, especially around the lower face and neck. MINT™ PDO Threads work by strategically lifting and repositioning the skin using dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material that also naturally triggers collagen production. For our Central Oregon clients, this treatment delivers a noticeable lift with minimal downtime — and as the threads dissolve, the skin continues to tighten and firm over time, enhancing both texture and tone.

Did you know?

MINT™ PDO Threads are the only FDA-cleared, moldable barbed threads designed to provide superior lifting power and collagen stimulation in one treatment. Unlike traditional smooth or mono threads, MINT™ PDO’s patented barbs anchor into the skin, instantly lifting sagging areas while kickstarting your body’s natural collagen production. This means you get an immediate tightening effect with continued skin-firming benefits over time, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance that lasts up to a year or more!

How long do PDO Threads Last?

The lifting effects of PDO Threads can last up to 12 months or longer, depending on the individual’s skin condition and collagen production. While the threads dissolve over time, the collagen stimulation continues to improve skin texture and firmness.

The entire treatment typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on the number of PDO threads used and the treatment area. It’s a quick, in-office procedure with minimal downtime. 

Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days. You should avoid excessive facial movements, heavy exercise, and direct pressure on the treatment area for one to two weeks to allow the PDO threads to properly settle.

PDO Threads are ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical solution to lift and tighten their skin. They are especially effective for those looking to enhance their facial contours without the downtime of surgery. The best way to determine if PDO Threads are right for you is to schedule a consultation with our expert team at W Aesthetics & Wellness.
