Thread Lift in Phoenix, AZ
PDO Thread Lift
Non-Surgical Facelift for a Youthful, Natural Look
Why Choose Thread Lifts?
If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to lift and tighten your skin, Thread Lifts at Torstveit Medical Aesthetics in Phoenix, AZ, is the answer. This advanced treatment provides a quick, effective facelift with immediate lifting effects without traditional surgery.
Thread Lifts are perfect for individuals who want to rejuvenate their appearance without the risks, scars, or downtime associated with invasive facelifts. PDO (polydioxanone) threads are inserted strategically into the skin to provide an instant lift during the procedure. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness long after the treatment.
The immediate results are visible right after the procedure, giving you a refreshed, youthful appearance. This makes thread lifts an excellent choice for individuals looking to restore lost volume as well as tighten sagging skin in the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brow area.
At Torstveit Medical Aesthetics, our experienced providers focus on delivering natural-looking results. This minimally invasive treatment provides noticeable improvements without downtime or recovery, suitable for individuals in their 30s to 60s.

Pre & Post-Treatment Care
Following the proper pre- and post-treatment instructions ensures the best results from your thread lift and minimizes any potential side effects.
Before Your Treatment:
- Avoid Blood Thinners: To minimize bruising risk, refrain from using aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain herbal supplements for at least 5-7 days before the procedure
- Disclose Your Medical History: Inform your provider about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you currently take.
- Clean Skin: Before arriving for your appointment, ensure your face is clean and free from makeup or creams.
- Hydrate Well: Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water before your procedure to keep your skin in optimal condition.
After Your Treatment:
- Manage Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling or bruising around the treated area is common. Applying cold compresses during the first 24- 48 hours can help alleviate swelling.
- Avoid Touching or Massaging the Area: For the first few days, avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent disturbing the threads.
- Sleep with Your Head Elevated: To reduce swelling, sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first few nights.
- Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Avoid vigorous exercise, facial massages, and heat treatments (like saunas) for at least one week after treatment.
- Gentle Skin Care: Use gentle skincare products and avoid any aggressive facial treatments or exfoliation for a few weeks.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Your provider will suggest a follow-up appointment to evaluate the results and confirm your recovery is progressing as expected.
Following these simple guidelines can help optimize the healing process, promote a smoother recovery, and ensure your thread lift achieves the best possible results.

How Does It Work?
The Thread Lift procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that uses PDO threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. Here’s how it works:
- Consultation & Planning: During your consultation, your provider will discuss your goals, assess areas of concern, and create a customized treatment plan.
- Local Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is applied to the treatment areas to ensure comfort.
- Thread Insertion: PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin in a precise pattern using a fine needle. The threads are designed to lift and reposition the skin for an immediate tightening effect.
- Lifting Mechanism: The PDO threads have tiny barbs that “catch” the tissue and gently pull the skin upward, creating a lifting effect. As the threads dissolve naturally over time, they increase collagen and elastin production, resulting in long-term tightening.
- Collagen Stimulation: The PDO threads gradually dissolve over several months, but their effects continue as the body produces new collagen in the treated areas, improving skin quality and texture.
This process takes 45–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. You’ll notice an immediate lifting effect, which improves as collagen builds in the following months. The results last 1–2 years, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
At Torstveit Medical Aesthetics, our skilled providers ensure your treatment is done with precision and care, giving you a natural-looking, youthful appearance without surgery.
