What Is PDO Thread Lift?

Two effects, one thread material.

PDO (polydioxanone) is a safe, fully dissolvable suture material used in surgery for decades. As threads, it does two things: fine mono and screw threads stimulate your own collagen for firmer, tighter skin, while barbed cog threads grip and physically lift sagging jowls and jawline.

Because the threads dissolve over 6–8 months, the lift looks natural and there's nothing permanent left behind — yet the collagen they build keeps working after they're gone. It's the versatile entry point to thread lifting. At JRYN Seomyeon, PDO threads run from ₩50,000, planned to your face by Dr. Lee.

How It Works

The science, without the hype.

Understanding the mechanism helps you set realistic expectations — and see why technique matters more than brand here.

01

Choose the thread type

Mono and screw for collagen and skin quality; cog (barbed) for a real mechanical lift.

02

Placed under the skin

Through a fine needle or cannula, threads are positioned along planned vectors — no cutting.

03

Instant lift + collagen

Cog threads lift immediately; all threads then stimulate collagen over the following weeks.

04

Threads dissolve, lift stays

PDO absorbs over 6–8 months while the new collagen holds the improvement 12–18 months.

Honest Candidacy

Who it suits — and who should wait.

A good fit if you…

  • Have early to moderate jowl or jawline sagging
  • Want a non-surgical lift with natural-looking results
  • Also want collagen-building, not just a mechanical lift
  • Prefer dissolvable threads with nothing permanent left

Better to wait if you…

  • Have very heavy, advanced sagging — surgery may suit better
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have active infection or skin inflammation in the area
  • Expect a permanent result — threads dissolve over months

After your treatment

  • Mild swelling, bruising or tightness for 3–7 days
  • Avoid wide mouth movements and chewing tough food briefly
  • Sleep face-up and elevated for the first few nights
  • Avoid saunas, dentist visits and facials for 2 weeks

Possible side effects

  • Slight dimpling or pulling usually settles within days
  • Avoid heavy exercise and facial massage for 2 weeks
  • Results soften into place as swelling resolves

Threads reward vector planning.

A thread lift is only as good as the vectors and the thread choice. I plan each thread's direction to lift where you actually sag, and I blend cog threads for lift with mono threads for collagen. Overdone, threads look pulled; planned well, they look like you, rested.

PDO Thread Lift FAQ

Good to know.

At JRYN Seomyeon, mono threads start from ₩50,000, screw threads from ₩90,000, cog (lifting) threads from ₩300,000, and a full-face combination from ₩600,000. Final cost depends on thread type and number. We confirm your exact quote free in consultation or over WhatsApp.

Mono threads are smooth and stimulate collagen for tightening; screw threads add localised volume and stronger collagen; cog (barbed) threads grip tissue to physically lift jowls and jawline. Most plans blend them. Dr. Lee chooses for your face.

The threads dissolve over 6–8 months, but the collagen they stimulate holds the result — typically 12–18 months for cog lifting and 9–12 months for collagen threads, depending on your skin and lifestyle.

Local anaesthetic makes it tolerable. Expect mild swelling, bruising and a tight or pulling sensation for 3–7 days. Most patients return to normal quickly but should avoid wide mouth movements, saunas and facials for about two weeks.

Yes, in trained hands — PDO is a long-established dissolvable suture material. The keys are sterile technique, correct vectors and not overloading the face. As an MD-led clinic, Dr. Lee performs every thread placement personally.
