How the treatment works
PDO threads are placed into hollow temple areas to provide internal support that fills and smooths the contour of the upper face. The threads act both as a scaffold and a subtle filler, addressing the loss of lateral volume that can make the eyes and forehead appear gaunt without open surgery.
Beyond the immediate structural effect, the presence of threads stimulates the body’s natural repair processes to encourage new collagen around the temple region. That biological response helps create fuller tissue support around the eyes and forehead, shaping the frame of the upper face while the threads remain in place and then gradually dissolve.
Who is a suitable candidate
Candidates typically notice visible hollowing at the temples and want a non-surgical way to restore a fuller upper-face silhouette. People seeking targeted volume restoration rather than a broad facelift, and those comfortable with a minimally invasive approach, often consider temple PDO threads as an alternative to larger surgical procedures.
Local lifestyle factors in Bronx — University Heights and the Fordham area — influence candidacy: many clients balance work, school, and family, so a quick, in-office procedure appeals. Easy access from Metro-North and nearby subway stops means commuters can fit treatments into a compact schedule; discuss timing preferences at consult to match your routine.
Procedure and recovery expectations
The PDO thread lift is a non-surgical procedure using dissolvable threads to lift and tighten sagging tissue and to fill temple hollows. Expect a focused, single-area treatment done in-clinic; we schedule this service as a 60 MINUTES appointment. The technique aims to create shape and encourage collagen without the downtime of an operating room.
There is minimal downtime after a PDO thread lift; you may experience minor swelling or bruising, and most clients resume normal activities within a day. Our team provides clear aftercare guidelines to reduce swelling and support healing. The treatment cost for temple threads is $600 — we’ll review aftercare and follow-up during your visit.
