Lifting threads (PDO) in Puerto Vallarta

The lifting effect without a scalpel.


Over time, the skin loses firmness and tissues tend to descend, creating skin laxity in key areas such as the cheeks, jawline, eyebrows, or neck. Barbed lifting threads are designed to lift and reposition these tissues immediately and naturally.

PDO lifting threads are reabsorbable polydioxanone filaments designed to provide mechanical support, improving facial definition and helping to reposition the skin without surgery.


How do they work?

These threads have small bidirectional barbs or hooks that anchor in the dermis, allowing the skin to be pulled and held in a higher position. They also stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving firmness in the long term.


Common treatment areas:
  • Sagging cheeks
  • Jawline
  • Double chin
  • Eyebrows (brow tail lift)
  • Neck
Aesthetic benefits:
  • Immediate lifting effect without surgery.
  • Improves skin laxity in the cheeks, neck, and facial contour.
  • Redraws the jawline.
  • Repositions sagging tissues.
  • Stimulates collagen steadily.
Who is it for?
  • Men and women between 35 and 60 years old with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to avoid surgery.
  • Ideal for those looking for visible yet natural-looking results.
Advantages of PDO threads:
  • No cuts or scars.
  • They stimulate collagen progressively.
  • They do not alter facial expression.
  • Visible, long-lasting results.
  • Compatible with other aesthetic treatments.
What do we aim for with lifting threads?
  • Facial laxity: improve the appearance of mild or moderate sagging.
  • Jawline contour: help create a visually more defined jawline.
  • Cheeks: provide support and a moderate lift of the tissues.
  • Skin firmness: stimulate a collagen-forming response around the threads.
  • Facial harmony: improve the position of certain tissues without changing your features.

The lifting effect can be seen initially thanks to the mechanical support of the threads, while the tissue response develops over the following weeks.

Price $9,500 MXN

Includes a package of 4 PDO lifting threads. The number and distribution of the threads depend on your anatomy and degree of skin laxity; a medical evaluation is required.

Which type of threads do I need?

Both types of threads have different, complementary functions. Choosing the ideal treatment depends on several factors: your age, your skin type, your degree of skin laxity, your skincare routine, and your aesthetic goals.

That is why Dr. Ulises Gómez performs a complete medical and aesthetic evaluation to define how many threads to place, which type to use, and in which areas, ensuring natural-looking and safe results.

Important: A medical evaluation is always required.
