PDO threads and filler can both provide excellent results, but the two treatments work best for different situations. For severe sagging or skin laxity, PDO threads are likely to provide a more dramatic result. Filler works better at relieving numerous fine lines or wrinkles. During your consultation, we can discuss which treatment makes the most sense based on your goals.

What to Expect
The PDO Thread Lift Process
Step 1: Consultation
When you visit Erasable Med Spa for PDO threads in Tampa, you’ll start off with a complimentary consultation with one of our expert injectors. We take this time to learn more about you and develop your personalized treatment plan based on your wants and needs. Once we understand your aesthetic goals, we can move forward with your treatment!
Step 2: Injection
During your appointment, you’ll relax in your own suite, where you have access to your coffee, music, movies—whatever makes you comfortable! Our certified injector will assess the treatment area and map out the placement of your threads before administering your injections. The process should be quick and easy before you look totally refreshed!
Step 3: Follow-Up
Downtime for threads can be somewhere between 1-5 days depending on where and which type of threads are placed. After receiving PDO threads in Tampa, it is normal to experience minimal redness, swelling, and mild pain. We recommend you avoid eating and drinking until any numbness has worn off after a couple of hours. With regular followup treatments, you can greatly extend the length of your results and look even better!

Benefits of PDO Threads in Tampa
Effective Results
PDO threads do more than fill in fine lines and wrinkles—they provide thorough facial refreshment so you’ll look totally brand new!
Made from polydioxanone, these threads dissolve into the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. By rejuvenating your skin from within, we can restore volume, even out texture, and tighten tissue to build a foundation for long-lasting results.
Versatile Application
PDO threads in Tampa can do more than refresh your face. Our experts can place threads on the neck and body as well to rejuvenate common signs of aging.
If you’re looking for a noninvasive, lifted look, we can insert threads near the cheeks, lips, under eyes, and forehead to minimize wrinkles and yield a youthful “fox eye” effect.
Placing threads on the neck, chest, arms, and legs helps tighten loose or sagging skin to shape your silhouette.
Convenient Process
PDO threads in Tampa take as little as 15 minutes to place, but results can last up to 1 year.
Our PDO Max threads feature an in-cannula design that minimizes bruising and social downtime, letting you enjoy your results sooner. While recovery varies, most clients experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for 1 to 3 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
When placed correctly, PDO threads do not feel painful or uncomfortable in the skin. It’s very rare that a patient can feel them when pressing into the skin.
Better yet, most people say that PDO thread lifts are a relatively painless procedure!
You can see results immediately and gradually after getting PDO threads in Tampa. As your provider tightens and secures the threads, you should notice a lift and instant skin tightening. While initial swelling or redness can prevent you from seeing optimal results, these side effects should subside within 1 to 3 days. Then, you’ll have a preview of the full results.
As the threads dissolve, they trigger the production of structural proteins that continuously improve your skin’s appearance over the next 4 to 12 weeks. Collagen production takes time to yield visible results, but it is a natural alternative to cosmetic injections. These results can last 9 to 12 months with proper maintenance.
PDO threads are totally invisible to the naked eye. You may feel occasional tightness as the threads dissolve, but PDO threads in Tampa are a great method for subtle, instant improvement to your look.
We recommend PDO threads in Tampa for patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who hope to see an increase in skin tightness to minimize signs of early aging. Patients with minor fine lines and wrinkles may prefer dermal fillers, while those with more severe skin sagging may need a surgical alternative.
PDO threads offer a non-injectable alternative for clients seeking a visible lift. We recommend this treatment for those experiencing “filler fatigue” who want to restore facial structure without adding volume.
Certain medical conditions or skin disorders may prevent you from receiving PDO thread treatments. To ensure client safety and comfort, we do not recommend this treatment to patients who are or have:
- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Allergic to polydioxanone or other materials used
- Active skin infections or open wounds near the treatment site
- Autoimmune or blood-clotting disorders
- Cancer or previously had cancer
- History of keloid scarring
