At O'Donnell Vein & Laser, we offer PDO threads in Annapolis and Easton, MD. Our team of experienced medical professionals will work with you to determine if a PDO thread lift is right for you and help you to achieve the best possible results.Your journey with a PDO thread lift starts with a consultation to discuss the procedure, determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure, and to discuss any and all questions you may have. Our goal is for you to be as informed as possible!
A PDO thread lift is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that can be used to tighten and lift sagging skin.
PDO threads are medical grade suture material made from polydioxanone, which has been used in medical procedures for many years. During a PDO thread lift, your provider will inject a numbing agent in the area being treated to keep you comfortable, and then the threads will be inserted under your skin with precise placements to achieve the type of lift you desire. The number of threads and their particular placement depends on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
PDO threads can improve the appearance of many areas of the body, including the face, neck and jowls. Each thread will dissolve over the next 10-12 weeks, however during that time your body creates it’s own collagen support structure around the thread holding it in place for 12-18 months. While threads do not provide a facelift type lift, they do provide a significant lifting to the skin providing a more youthful appearance and enhancing self-confidence. Unlike lifting threads we also offer smooth threads.
While a facelift can provide excellent results, it is a much more invasive procedure than a PDO thread lift. A facelift requires hospitalization, anesthesia and incisions, which can lead to scarring, with a much longer recovery time than a PDO thread lift. A PDO thread lift is a much less invasive procedure than a facelift. It does not require anesthesia or incisions and has a shorter recovery time.
Most people are candidates for a PDO thread lift. However, those who are not good candidates for this procedure include people who:
PDO thread lifts are usually performed in an outpatient setting. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. After the procedure, you may experience some bruising, swelling, and soreness. These side effects should resolve within a few days. Our Annapolis PDO Threads patients will be able to see the results of the procedure immediately, and they will continue to improve over the next few months.
At O'Donnell Vein & Laser, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest quality care and natural-looking results. We use the latest technologies and techniques to ensure that our patients get the best possible results.

After the procedure, our Annapolis PDO Threads patients will see an immediate difference in your appearance. The skin on your face will appear lifted and tighter, and the overall shape of your face will be more defined. The PDO threads will take some time to dissolve fully and stimulate collagen production, so you will continue to see improvements in your appearance for several months after the procedure.
Most people experience mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a week. You can help reduce swelling by applying ice to the treated area and sleeping with your head elevated for the first few days. You should avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after the procedure and try not to touch or rub the treated area. You should also refrain from strenuous activity, sunlight exposure, and saunas for at least a week after the procedure. Bruising, aching, swelling are all common side effects. You may also experience a moderate amount of tightness after a thread lift that can last for up to two weeks. Our staff will schedule a two week follow up to ensure optimal healing assess skin settling. Your provider will give you specific instructions on how to care for your skin after the procedure. Following these instructions carefully will help ensure optimal results.
