PDO Thread Lift in Dubai: Non-Surgical Lifting & Contouring

PDO thread lifts offer a remarkable middle ground between topical treatments and surgical facelifts, making them one of the fastest-growing aesthetic procedures in Dubai. At About.Skin in Al Ghurair Mall, our experienced practitioners use dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone) threads to lift sagging skin, define facial contours, and stimulate long-term collagen production — all in under an hour.

How Do PDO Thread Lifts Work?

During a PDO thread lift, fine, medical-grade threads made of polydioxanone are inserted beneath the skin using thin needles. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip the underlying tissue, allowing the practitioner to reposition and lift sagging skin immediately. Over the following months, the threads dissolve naturally while stimulating the production of new collagen around them, creating a natural scaffolding effect that maintains the lift even after the threads are absorbed.

What Can PDO Threads Treat?

PDO threads are versatile and can address mid-face sagging and jowl formation, drooping eyebrows and eyelids, nasolabial folds (smile lines), neck laxity and “turkey neck”, jawline definition, and marionette lines. The treatment can also be used for non-lifting purposes — smooth PDO threads placed in a mesh pattern stimulate widespread collagen production, improving overall skin texture and firmness without repositioning tissue.

The PDO Thread Lift Procedure

A PDO thread lift at About.Skin takes 30 to 60 minutes. After mapping the treatment areas, we apply local anaesthesia to ensure your complete comfort. The threads are then inserted through tiny entry points — no incisions are required. You will feel mild pressure but minimal pain. Most patients see an immediate lifting effect, with results continuing to improve over 2 to 6 months as collagen builds around the threads.

Recovery and Longevity

Downtime is minimal — most patients return to normal activities within 1 to 3 days. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for the first week. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise and facial massage for 2 weeks. The threads dissolve over 6 to 8 months, but the collagen they stimulate keeps the skin lifted for 12 to 18 months. Many patients opt for maintenance treatments annually to preserve their results.
