Noticing some loose skin around your jawline, cheeks, or neck? You’re not imagining it—and you don’t have to just live with it. PDO threads are a safe, effective option that can give your skin a noticeable lift and firmer feel, all without surgery. At Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center in Pittsburgh, we use PDO thread lifts to gently reposition the skin and stimulate collagen where it’s needed most. The result? A fresher, more supported appearance that still looks like you—just more refreshed.
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed just under the skin to create an immediate lifting effect. Over time, they help your body ramp up its natural collagen and elastin production. That means results continue to improve even after the threads have dissolved.
They’re a solid option for those wanting facial rejuvenation without the downtime or commitment of surgery. We use them to address skin laxity in several areas: cheeks, jawline, under the chin, neck, and even the brows or knees.
Some people come in with early signs of skin sagging. Others want to redefine their profile or get ahead of changes due to weight loss, hormonal shifts, or aging. PDO threads can be tailored for each of those goals.
When it comes to skin tightening, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That’s why we offer multiple options and often recommend a thoughtful combination of treatments.

You may notice some mild swelling or tenderness afterward, but it typically resolves in a few days. Most people return to normal routines quickly—many right after their appointment.
People like how subtle the change is. It’s not dramatic or overdone—it’s a refined lift that makes your face look more awake, more structured, and a bit more youthful. And because threads stimulate collagen, your skin’s firmness and tone continue to improve over the following months.
Many of our patients have busy schedules and can’t take extended time off. Threads provide that balance: real results with little interruption.
Threads don’t have to work alone. They often serve as one part of a broader treatment plan focused on facial structure, tone, and regenerative support. Here at Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center, we often combine PDO threads with:
We also support skin health and aging from the inside out—hormonal balance, nutrition, and wellness all play a role in how the skin behaves and feels.
Our patients are intelligent, proactive, and care about their health as much as their appearance. Many are dealing with changes in skin and body composition from menopause, weight fluctuations, or the natural passage of time. Others want to fine-tune their features in subtle ways or maintain a youthful glow through pre-juvenation.
