PDO Threads 101: The Non-Surgical Lift Taking Northern Colorado by Storm

If you’re looking for a way to lift, tighten, and refresh your skin without surgery, PDO threads might just be your new favorite treatment. At Boho Studios in Fort Collins, we’ve seen PDO threads transform the way our clients think about non-surgical rejuvenation. The best part? The results look natural, subtle, and completely you — just a refreshed, lifted version of yourself.
Here’s everything you need to know about PDO threads, why they’re gaining popularity, and whether they might be the right solution for your skin goals.

​What Are PDO Threads?

PDO threads are thin, absorbable sutures made from polydioxanone — a material long used in medical procedures. When placed under the skin using precise techniques, these threads provide a gentle lift while stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Over time, your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful, without the downtime or invasiveness of surgery.
Think of it as a natural scaffolding for your skin: supporting, lifting, and rejuvenating.

​How Do PDO Threads Work?

PDO threads work on two levels. First, the threads provide an immediate lift by physically supporting sagging areas. Second, as the threads naturally dissolve over a few months, they trigger your skin to produce new collagen and elastin. This combination creates longer-lasting results that continue to improve over time, giving your skin a subtle, refreshed appearance.
Unlike surgical facelifts, PDO threads are minimally invasive, and most clients resume their normal activities immediately.

​Who Is a Good Candidate?

PDO threads are ideal for anyone noticing mild to moderate sagging, loss of volume, or early signs of aging. Common areas treated include:

• Jawline and jowls
• Cheeks
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Brow area

Because the treatment is customizable, it works beautifully whether you’re looking for a subtle lift or more noticeable contouring. At Boho Studios, every placement is tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that feel natural, not “done.”

​What Can You Expect During the Treatment?

The PDO thread procedure is surprisingly quick and comfortable. After a personalized consultation, a topical numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort. Using precise techniques, your provider inserts the threads under the skin, lifting and sculpting as needed. Most treatments take 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Some mild swelling or redness may occur, but this typically resolves within a few days. Most clients return to their normal routines immediately, making PDO threads a convenient option for busy lifestyles.

​How Long Do PDO Threads Last?

​PDO threads gradually dissolve over 4–6 months, but the collagen they stimulate continues to provide a natural lift for up to a year or more. Many clients choose periodic touch-ups to maintain their results, creating a long-term, low-maintenance approach to facial rejuvenation.

​Why PDO Threads Are Popular in Northern Colorado

​PDO threads are gaining popularity in Fort Collins and beyond because they provide visible face lifting without the cost, downtime, or risks of surgery. They’re perfect for anyone who wants a refreshed, youthful look with subtle, natural results. For clients who prefer gradual enhancements rather than dramatic transformations, PDO threads are a game-changer.
