AT AVIVA MEDICAL SPA

Two mechanisms. One treatment. PDO threads lift immediately and then dissolve to trigger the collagen that keeps lifting for up to 18 months.

PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures the same material used in surgical stitching for decades to physically lift and reposition sagging skin tissue. Threads are inserted beneath the skin through fine entry points using a blunt cannula, then anchored to pull tissue upward and backward. The mechanical lift is immediate and visible on the day of treatment. But the thread lift's second mechanism collagen stimulation is what separates it from a temporary fix. As PDO threads dissolve naturally over 4–6 months, your body's healing response lays down new collagen along the thread tracts and throughout the treated tissue. This collagen remains after the threads are gone, providing structural support that extends the visible result to 12–18 months for most patients, and improving skin quality in the treated zone. At Aviva Medical Spa in Miami's Design District, thread lifting is used as a standalone treatment or combined with injectables and skin resurfacing for patients who want a meaningful lift without the commitment, cost, or recovery of surgery.

Three thread types, each serving a different purpose

Patients who have researched thread lifts will know these terms. At Aviva, your provider selects the right thread or combination based on your anatomy and goals.

MONOTHREADS



COLLAGEN STIMULATION + TIGHTENING 2
Smooth threads with no barbs. Inserted in a mesh pattern to stimulate collagen throughout the zone. Primary use: skin quality improvement, fine line softening, mild tightening. Used in neck, jawline, and décolletage as a collagen-building foundation.

Collagen builds for 6+ months · subtle, progressive result

COGTHREADS


LIFTING + REPOSITIONING
Threads with bidirectional barbs that grip and anchor tissue for a mechanical lift. The workhorse thread for visible lifting of jowls, midface, brow, and neck. Cog threads provide the most lift and are the type featured in most before/after imagery..

12–18 months with both immediate lift and sustained collagen support

SCREWTHREADS


VOLUME SUPPORT + COLLAGEN
Two intertwined threads creating a rope-like structure for enhanced collagen stimulation and mild volume support. Used where skin quality and gentle support are the primary goal lips, under-eye, and perioral area.

Collagen stimulation lasts 6–12 months · used for refinement areas

TREATMENT AREAS

Where PDO Threads Lift, Tighten & Restore

From the forehead to the neck threads address far more than jowls. Each area is a targeted, precise treatment in its own right.

  • Brows & Upper Face: lifts descending brow tails for a more open, refreshed eye area
  • Midface & Cheeks: repositions descended fat pads, reduces nasolabial fold depth
  • Jowls & Lower Face: lifts and tightens early jowling, sharpens jaw angle
  • Neck: tightens lax neck skin, softens horizontal bands
  • Jawline: defines and sharpens contour
  • Décolletage: mono thread mesh improves texture and crepiness
  • Lips: fine threads soften perioral lines and add subtle definition

COMBINATION PROTOCOLS

Threads + Combinations

Threads + Neurotoxins Lift & Relax

Threads mechanically reposition descending tissue. Neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify) relax the muscles driving dynamic expression lines. Combined in a single appointment, they address both structural descent and surface lines for a complete non-surgical facial reset.

Threads + Dermal Fillers Structure & Volume

Threads lift and reposition. Fillers restore volume where tissue has already deflated temples, cheeks, under-eye. The combination addresses both loss of tissue position and loss of volume, which typically occur together.

Threads + Sculptra Lift Now, Collagen Long-Term

Thread lifting provides immediate repositioning. Sculptra collagen biostimulation builds structural support over months. Together, patients get an instant visual improvement while the collagen response continues to develop and deepen the result.

FAQS

Your Questions, Answered

The procedure is performed with topical numbing cream and local anesthetic at each entry point. Most patients describe pressure and tightness not pain. Mild soreness and sensitivity are normal for several days post-treatment. ProNox™ comfort system is available at Aviva.

Entirely depends on your anatomy, areas treated, and degree of laxity. A full-face treatment with cog threads for jowls, midface, and brow might use 8–20+ threads. A single-area treatment uses fewer. Your provider will map your treatment and give a precise estimate at consultation.

Expect 5–10 days of swelling, bruising, and tightness. Most patients are comfortable returning to work within 5–7 days. Avoid strenuous exercise for 2 weeks and dental procedures for 2–4 weeks.

Yes and for many patients, combination treatment delivers the most comprehensive result. Threads lift and reposition tissue. Neurotoxins address dynamic lines. Fillers restore deflated volume. Sculptra collagen biostimulation also complements thread lifting well.

PDO threads dissolve naturally over 4–6 months. In the rare event of asymmetry or an unwanted outcome, the result is temporary. Your provider sets realistic expectations at consultation so you go into treatment fully informed. Aviva providers will tell you honestly if a result isn’t achievable before any treatment begins.
