PDO Threadlift (Non-Surgical Facelift)

PDO Threadlift (Non-Surgical Facelift) Treatment

We proudly use MINT™ PDO Threads, the gold standard in non-surgical facelifting. This advanced thread-lifting technology is designed to instantly lift sagging skin while stimulating collagen production, delivering both immediate and long-term rejuvenation. Whether you’re looking to redefine your jawline, lift drooping cheeks, or smooth deep folds, MINT™ PDO Threads provide a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for a refreshed, youthful appearance. 

As we age, the skin loses elasticity and starts to sag, creating a tired or aged look. MINT™ PDO Threads work by strategically lifting and repositioning the skin using dissolvable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material that naturally stimulates collagen production. Over time, as the threads dissolve, your skin continues to tighten and firm, enhancing the lift and improving overall skin texture. 

Key Benefits of PDO Thread Lifts

  • Instant Lift, Lasting Results: Immediate skin lifting with ongoing collagen stimulation
  • Minimally Invasive: A non-surgical solution with little downtime
  • FDA-Cleared Technology: MINT™ PDO threads are the only FDA-cleared barbed threads for face-lifting
  • Natural-Looking Rejuvenation: No overfilled appearance, just smoother, tighter skin
  • Versatile Treatment: Safe and effective for the face, jawline, neck, and body

How MINT™ PDO Thread Lifts Work

Aging leads to sagging skin and diminished collagen, but MINT™ PDO threads offer an immediate and progressive solution. These PDO (polydioxanone) threads are inserted beneath the skin and gently pulled to reposition and lift sagging areas.

What makes MINT™ PDO threads unique is their barbed design, which anchors the skin in place and provides an instant lift. As the threads dissolve naturally, they stimulate collagen production to enhance firmness, elasticity, and texture, creating results that improve for months and last up to 12-18 months.

Are you looking for a non-surgical facelift in Bend, OR? MINT™ threads offer one of the most advanced solutions without general anesthesia, cutting, or extensive recovery.

Who is a Good Candidate?

A PDO thread lift is ideal for individuals who:

  • Want to address mild to moderate skin sagging
  • Are seeing jowls, drooping cheeks, or loss of jawline definition
  • Prefer a non-surgical facelift over traditional facelift procedures
  • Want a natural-looking lift with minimal downtime
  • Are in good general health with realistic expectations

Our team will assess your facial structure and skin concerns to determine whether you qualify for a PDO thread lift in Bend, OR.

What to Expect During the Treatment

Here’s what your PDO thread lift experience looks like at W Aesthetics and Wellness:

  • Consultation: We’ll assess your goals and facial anatomy to determine the ideal thread pattern and placement.
  • Numbing & Prep: A local anesthetic ensures comfort throughout the procedure.
  • Thread Insertion: MINT™ PDO threads are gently inserted using a thin cannula, then repositioned to create lift and contour.
  • Immediate Results: You’ll notice a visible lift immediately after treatment, and continued collagen stimulation and skin improvement will follow in the following months.


Mild swelling or tenderness is common for a few days, and most clients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours.

What Is the Cost?

The cost of a PDO thread lift varies based on:

  • Treatment areas
  • Number of threads used
  • Degree of lift desired
  • Customization of your lift strategy


We’ll outline your personalized treatment plan, expected results, and pricing during your consultation. Flexible payment options are available for larger lifts or full-face rejuvenation.
