PDO thread lift Edmonton At-a-Glance
Cost & Pricing
Pricing starts at $300 per thread. Packages: Silver—4 threads plus one filler $1,600; Gold—8 threads plus two fillers $3,100; Diamond—12 threads plus three fillers $4,000.
What To Expect
Performed under local anesthesia in office. Cannulas place dissolvable threads to lift tissue. Procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes. Patients return home and resume activities quickly.
Mechanism of Action
Biodegradable threads (PDO, PLLA, PCL) anchor and reposition skin for an immediate lift. As they dissolve, collagen increases, tightening tissue and maintaining contours for months.
Benefits & Results
Expect a natural lift with improved jawline, cheeks, or brows immediately. Collagen remodeling enhances firmness and texture. Results typically last 12–18 months with minimal downtime.
Discomfort & Pain Level
With local anesthesia, patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during insertion and lifting. Post-treatment soreness or tightness is common for days. Pain level is medium-to-high.
Side Effects & Downtime
Common effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. Asymmetry or infection are rare risks. Most clients resume activities within days; careful aftercare helps reduce complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a thread lift?
- Thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and firms lax skin using biodegradable sutures placed under the skin.
- At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, our clinicians use advanced cannula techniques to reposition tissue gently, stimulate collagen, and refine facial contours without surgical incisions.
- The threads provide immediate support while triggering your body’s natural healing response.
- Over time, new collagen forms around each thread, improving firmness, texture, and definition.
- Common areas include cheeks, jawline, jowls, brows, and neck.
- Treatment is done with local anesthesia in a comfortable office setting, with little downtime and results that appear natural.
- It is ideal for people noticing mild to moderate sagging who want a meaningful lift without a full facelift. Consultation clarifies goals and candidacy.
Who is a good candidate for a PDO thread lift in Edmonton?
- Mild–moderate skin laxity (cheeks, jowls, jawline, neck, brows) and wanting a subtle lift without surgery or long downtime
- Realistic expectations and open to maintenance or combinations (neuromodulators, fillers, skincare) for balanced results
- Adequate skin thickness/quality (not extremely thin or severely sun-damaged)
- Typically ages ~30–65, guided by collagen status rather than age alone
- No active acne, rashes, or infection at the treatment site
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- No bleeding disorders; not on anticoagulants (or able to pause with prescriber approval)
- Well-controlled medical conditions (e.g., diabetes/autoimmune) and no keloid tendency
What types of threads are used, and how do they differ?
What should I expect on thread-lift treatment day?
- Please arrive a few minutes early to review the consent form, take baseline photographs, and discuss your personalized plan.
- We will cleanse your skin, mark lift vectors, and apply topical numbing when indicated. Local anesthetic is administered at tiny entry points to ensure comfort.
- Using a fine cannula, your clinician slides the threads beneath the skin, following the markings, and then gently activates the lift by adjusting the tension.
- Excess thread is trimmed and the entry points are covered. You will practice smiling and speaking to check symmetry before final refinements.
- The procedure typically takes thirty to sixty minutes. Expect temporary tightness, mild pressure, or a sensation of tugging during activation.
- Before leaving, you will receive aftercare instructions and schedule your follow-up visit. Most patients resume normal activities.
What does aftercare involve following a thread lift?
- Midface (cheeks & nasolabial folds): Elevates cheek pads, restores contour, and reduces smile-line heaviness.
- Lower face (jowls, jawline, marionette lines): Defines the jawline, softens folds, and improves the pre-jowl hollow.
- Neck: Tightens mild laxity and smooths early bands and necklace lines for a firmer profile. See neck lift treatments.
- Nose (nose thread lift): Adds subtle bridge definition and tip support/rotation without surgery.
- Fox-eye brow lift (lateral brow): Lifts the outer brow to open the eye and reduce hooding.
What happens to the threads after a thread lift?
- We use only Health Canada–approved PDO (polydioxanone) threads placed beneath the skin to create an immediate mechanical lift.
- Your body responds by forming new collagen around each thread, reinforcing support along the lift vectors.
- PDO is an absorbable surgical suture material with a long safety record in medicine. Threads gradually hydrolyze (break down) over roughly 6–9 months and are naturally absorbed and cleared by the body.
- As tension softens, the collagen scaffold maintains much of the improvement in contour and firmness.
- No removal is required; the material dissolves on its own under normal circumstances. Occasionally, a tiny end can be felt or seen early; our clinicians can trim or adjust if needed.
- Collagen remodeling peaks around 3–6 months, with visible benefits often lasting 12–18 months.
