1. What Is PDO Thread Lift?
PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical facial lifting and contouring procedure that uses dissolvable threads made from Polydioxanone (PDO) — the same material used in medical sutures — to lift, tighten, and reshape targeted areas of the face without surgery.
At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, PDO thread lift is used for facial lifting, nose reshaping, and chin contouring. PDO threads work in two ways: the immediate mechanical lift from thread placement, and the biological stimulation of collagen production around the thread as it slowly dissolves over 6–8 months.

2. The 6-Step PDO Thread Procedure at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet
- Step 1 — Disinfection: The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected thoroughly before the procedure begins.
- Step 2 — Design: Based on face structure and individual condition, the most appropriate thread type and lifting direction are determined and mapped on the skin.
- Step 3 — Insertion: The PDO thread is inserted using a fine cannula — a blunt-tipped tube that minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue.
- Step 4 — Trimming: After inserting, the thread is trimmed to leave only the appropriate length needed for the lift.
- Step 5 — Lifting: The inserted thread is gently pulled to lift the sagging or targeted area into the desired position.
- Step 6 — Recovery: Most clients can resume daily activities immediately — no fixing, taping, or significant downtime required.
The entire procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet.
3. Face Lifting — What PDO Thread Treats
Sagging Jawline and Jowls
One of the most common uses at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet. PDO threads mechanically lift sagging skin back to a higher, tighter position and stimulate collagen for ongoing support.
Cheek and Mid-Face Lifting
PDO threads can lift and reposition mid-face tissue, restoring a more youthful, defined appearance without adding volume through filler.
Brow Lifting
A subtle brow lift achievable with PDO threads — suitable for clients whose brows have descended slightly, creating a heavier appearance around the eyes.
Neck and Chin Area
PDO threads address early laxity in the neck and under-chin area — tightening loose skin before it reaches a stage where more significant intervention is needed.
4. Nose Thread — Different From Nose Filler
Nose thread and nose filler are both non-surgical nose reshaping options — but they work completely differently.
| Nose Thread | Nose Filler | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Structural support along the nose | Adds volume to reshape |
| Best for | Height + definition | Volume + shape + tip refinement |
| Result | Natural, subtle lift | More customizable shape |
| Duration | 12–18 months | 9–18 months |
| Combined? | Yes — nose thread + chin filler or nose filler can be combined at DIVA Poipet | |
5. Chin Contour With PDO Thread
Chin contouring with PDO threads at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet refines the chin shape, improves the side profile, and enhances overall facial balance — particularly the nose-to-chin relationship. When combined with nose thread, the result is a more balanced side profile without surgery.
Chin contour with PDO thread is particularly popular among Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, and Cambodian clients at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet who want improved facial balance without the permanence and risk of surgical implants.
6. Who Is Suitable for PDO Thread?
Generally suitable for:
- Clients with early to moderate facial sagging — threads work best on skin with some remaining elasticity
- Clients who want lifting results without surgery
- Clients who want nose or chin refinement without filler volume
- Clients who want minimal downtime — most can return to normal activities the same day
May not be ideal for:
- Severe skin laxity — where surgical facelift may produce better results
- Clients with active skin infection in the treatment area
- Clients on blood thinners — must be disclosed before the procedure
7. What to Expect — Results and Recovery
An immediate lifting effect is visible after the procedure. Some swelling and mild bruising may occur in the first 1–3 days. As PDO threads stimulate collagen production over the following weeks and months, results continue to improve — full results typically visible at 4–8 weeks. Duration: 12–18 months.
Most clients can resume normal activities immediately. Avoid vigorous exercise, facial massage, and sleeping face-down for the first 2 weeks.
