I dropped in on my lunch break and left with the sharpest jawline. The numbing worked great so I barely felt a thing during the treatment. So happy I finally did this.

The Science Behind PDO Threads and Facial Rejuvenation
PDO Threads offer a remarkable breakthrough in non surgical facial rejuvenation for patients in Orange County. PDO stands for Polydioxanone, which is a safe, medical grade, and fully biodegradable material that has been trusted in complex surgeries for decades. Instead of relying on invasive surgical procedures that require long recovery times, this treatment uses these microscopic threads to gently lift and reposition sagging skin. When placed beneath the surface of the skin, the threads act like a hidden support structure. They provide an immediate mechanical lift to areas that have lost their youthful firmness, such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck. The procedure effectively fights the downward pull of gravity without altering your natural facial features, ensuring you look entirely like yourself, just beautifully refreshed and well rested.
How Collagen Stimulation Naturally Lifts Your Skin
The most powerful aspect of PDO Threads is what happens beneath the surface after the initial lift. Once the threads are safely positioned, your body recognizes them and naturally triggers a gentle healing response. This biological process stimulates the activity of fibroblasts, which are the specialized cells responsible for creating new collagen and elastin. As we age, our natural collagen production slows down significantly, leading to loose skin and deep wrinkles. The threads encourage your skin to rebuild its own structural proteins from the inside out. Over the course of six to eight months, the threads safely dissolve completely into water and carbon dioxide. However, the new network of natural collagen remains in place. This means your skin continues to grow firmer, thicker, and smoother long after the treatment is over.
Key Benefits of Your Skin Tightening Procedure
Choosing this advanced anti aging solution comes with a wide variety of cosmetic advantages that bridge the gap between temporary skincare and invasive surgery. Patients love this treatment because it addresses the root cause of aging skin by rebuilding the structural foundation rather than just masking the symptoms.
The results develop in beautiful stages, giving you an instant lift followed by progressive improvements in your skin texture and tone over several months. Because the procedure relies on your body to do the healing, the outcome is incredibly natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear, patient-friendly answers from Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat about pricing, comfort, downtime, results, and aftercare—so you can feel confident before booking.
Can the threads snap or migrate?
Migration is highly unlikely when inserted correctly by a trained professional like Dr Cyrus Sedaghat. Lifting threads feature microscopic multidirectional barbs that open like tiny umbrellas to securely anchor into the subcutaneous fat layer. Once these barbs engage the tissue and the collagen matrix begins to form around them the thread becomes firmly locked in its intended anatomical position.
How is new collagen formed?
The insertion of the thread acts as a mechanical stimulus in the subcutaneous layer. This triggers the activation of local fibroblasts which are cells that synthesize the extracellular matrix. These fibroblasts surround the thread and produce a dense meshwork of collagen and elastin fibers along the vector of insertion. This biological scaffolding thickens the dermal layer and improves overall skin elasticity.
Will my body reject them?
True rejection is extremely rare because Polydioxanone is highly biocompatible and inert. Instead of an immune rejection the body responds with a controlled subclinical inflammatory reaction. This specific micro trauma response is exactly what we want as it signals fibroblasts to migrate to the area and begin the process of tissue remodeling and neocollagenesis without causing systemic inflammation.
What is the thread material?
They are constructed from Polydioxanone which is a colorless synthetic biodegradable polymer. This exact material has been utilized safely for decades in cardiothoracic surgery and pediatric cardiac sutures. Its high tensile strength allows for significant mechanical lifting of ptotic tissue while its chemical structure ensures predictable and safe absorption through natural hydrolysis.
How long do results last?
The PDO material itself is fully hydrolyzed by the body within six to eight months. However the structural lift and skin tightening effects last much longer typically twelve to eighteen months. This extended duration occurs because the thread leaves behind a newly synthesized matrix of type one and type three collagen that continues to support the tissue long after the polymer dissolves.
