PDO Thread Lifts
Buffalo Grove, IL
Subtle Lifts. Real Confidence. No Surgery Required.
Aging doesn’t ask for permission. One day you look in the mirror and notice your skin has shifted; softened around the jaw, drooped beneath the cheeks, or settled in a way that doesn’t quite reflect the energy you still feel inside.
At Arawan MedSpa + Wellness in Buffalo Grove, IL, we want you to know there’s a way to gently restore what time may have softened.
PDO thread lifts offer a non-surgical option to lift and tighten the skin while encouraging your body’s own collagen to keep it going. It’s not about looking frozen or overly pulled. It’s about subtle, natural changes that let you feel refreshed, rebalanced, and confident.
This treatment isn’t for vanity. It’s for anyone who wants to feel aligned with the person they are today, and who values their well-being enough to choose a method rooted in both science and skill.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are safe, medical-grade sutures that dissolve beneath your skin over time. They’re placed strategically to lift sagging tissue and trigger collagen production.
Think of them like scaffolding that supports your skin’s structure. You get a light lift right away, and your body does the rest, building new collagen for firmer skin over the months ahead.
What Can Be Treated?
PDO threads work well in areas where skin has started to lose firmness or where volume has shifted over time:
- Jawline: for a cleaner, more defined edge
- Cheeks: restoring volume where it once naturally existed
- Brows: a subtle lift that opens the eyes
- Neck: softening crepey or loose skin
- Smile lines and marionette lines: giving the lower face a more youthful contour
- Stomach or knees: for mild sagging in body areas
If you’ve been considering a lift but aren’t ready for surgery, threads might be the bridge you’ve been looking for.
How It Works at Arawan MedSpa
We begin with a consultation that’s grounded in listening. No rushing, no pressure. Just a conversation about your goals and what’s possible.
From there, if threads are the right fit, here’s what to expect:
1. Local Numbing
We apply a numbing agent so you’ll stay comfortable throughout the procedure.
2. Precise Thread Placement
Using a tiny cannula or needle, we insert the threads beneath the skin based on your facial anatomy and lifting needs.
3. Immediate Results
You’ll notice a gentle lift right away. Over the next 4 to 6 weeks, your body will build new collagen around the threads.
4. Natural Dissolving Process
The threads dissolve over 4 to 6 months, but the collagen and results can last a year or longer.
Why Clients Love PDO Threads
- Instant Lift: See immediate improvement in sagging areas
- No Downtime: Most clients return to regular activities the same day
- Collagen Boost: Long-term skin tightening and texture improvement
- Natural Look: Subtle and tailored, not frozen or overdone
- Minimally Invasive: No surgery, no scars, no general anesthesia
Who’s a Good Candidate?
You may be a strong candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- Want a natural-looking lift without surgery
- Are looking to support your skin with collagen, especially in your 30s to 50s
- Prefer a preventative or corrective option with minimal downtime
If your skin is very thin or severely lax, or if you have certain medical conditions, we’ll talk through other options that might be safer or more effective.
