Experience the magic of firmer, lifted skin without the need for surgery! Allow us to introduce you to PDO threading.

Polydioxanone (PDO), a resilient and flexible thread that naturally dissolves within the body, is the secret behind this innovative treatment. When these PDO threads are delicately inserted beneath the skin, they work to tighten and subtly lift, essentially giving your skin a revitalizing boost. This process stimulates collagen production, the key protein that maintains your skin’s youthful firmness.


While individual results may vary, many notice an immediate improvement, with continued benefits as collagen levels increase over time. Though generally safe, PDO threading may cause minor side effects such as bruising and swelling.


The process of thread-lifting entails the insertion of threads beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, thereby lifting and firming loose skin. This treatment delivers immediate and enduring results, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking alternatives to surgical procedures. We are excited to offer this FDA-approved treatment to our patients, enhancing our range of solutions designed to help you achieve a youthful and revitalized look.


For those desiring a firmer, fresher, and more youthful appearance, a PDO thread lift could be the perfect answer!


There are no cuts and no incisions. In less than one hour,    Dr. Mantor can turn back time    and transform your look. Using a very fine acupuncture-like needle, special dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) are injected into the skin.


Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are a special medical grade thread that is thinner than hair, made of protein. Research has confirmed that PDO relaxes tendons and muscles, whilst a foreign body reaction improves the blood flow to the area stimulating neocollagenesis    (the production of new collagen in the skin). It also stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid, both substances are key to maintaining firm, youthful looking skin.


A PDO Thread Lift will instantly lift through mechanical effects, as well as, creating cellular renewal through collagen stimulation, which improves skin texture, erasing fine lines and adding elasticity. These sutures take about 4-6 months to dissolve and improvement continues to occur for over a year!


Are PDO Threads Safe?

PDO threads are FDA-approved and have over a decade long safety track record in surgery and wound closure!


Clients often ask where can PDO Threads be used? 

Threads can be used just about anywhere on the body, but they're most commonly used in the face and neck. PDO Threads are a great option to restore a youthful appearance in the lower area of the face and upper neck area around the jawline. This versatile treatment can also help sagging brows, dropping cheeks, nasolabial lines, vertical and horizontal forehead wrinkles, those pesky "marionette lines" around the mouth, as well as,   wrinkles and folds on the chin and neck. The PDO thread , non-surgical facelift is a totally, customizable treatment and can be done on just about any area of the face. The most common treatment areas are: under the eyes, eyebrows, crow’s feet, cheeks, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around mouth, jawline, jowls and neck! 


Did you know that PDO Threads are also a great option for diminishing

acne scars?


PDO (Polydioxanone) threads offer a non-surgical cosmetic solution for treating acne scars. By inserting threads under and around the scars, collagen production is stimulated, skin is tightened and scar tissue is broken down. The treatment aids in reducing the visibility of acne scars, which can vary in texture and color. Additionally, PDO threads can enhance skin texture & promote a more youthful & lifted look with no to little downtime!


Who is an ideal candidate for a PDO thread lift?


  • Patients that are showing minimal signs of aging and are looking for a small to medium lift.


  • Clients who are starting to see some droopiness of the jowls, brow or cheeks and would like to see a lift effect, but do not want a surgical procedure that might leave scars, or the downtime of surgery.


  • Patients who have had some relapse from a previous surgery procedure such as a facelift or neck lift and do not wish to undergo another surgical facelift or neck-lift.


Why does the experience of the PDO thread provider matter?

Successful thread lifting requires more than placing sutures beneath the skin. The provider must understand facial anatomy, tissue depth, vectors of lift, facial proportions, and which patients are—or are not—appropriate candidates. Dr. Gina Mantor is a double board-certified physician and experienced Master Injector who personally evaluates facial structure and develops a treatment plan based on each patient’s needs.

    Considering a PDO thread lift but still have questions? Dr. Gina Mantor, a double board-certified physician and Master Injector serving Columbus and Central Ohio since 2008, answers frequently asked questions about PDO lifting threads, smoothing threads, candidacy, treatment, recovery and natural-looking results. Learn more about her newest customized placement techniques and what to expect before scheduling your treatment. Complimentary MD consultations are available for patients who would like personalized recommendations based on their facial anatomy, concerns and goals.

    • What is a PDO Thread Lift?

      A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses absorbable polydioxanone sutures placed beneath the skin to lift, reposition, and support areas affected by mild to moderate laxity. Depending on the type of thread selected, treatment may provide visible lifting, improved facial definition, or gradual collagen stimulation—without traditional facelift surgery.

    • What Is Different About Dr. Mantor’s Newest PDO Thread Techniques?

      Dr. Mantor’s newest PDO thread techniques use customized placement patterns and carefully selected lifting or smoothing threads to address each patient’s anatomy and goals. Rather than using the same approach for everyone, she evaluates facial structure, skin laxity, tissue weight and natural movement before designing treatment. This physician-led approach is intended to create refined support and natural-looking improvement—not an over-pulled appearance. Complimentary MD consultations are available at our Westerville medical spa.

    • How Does Dr. Mantor Create Natural-Looking PDO Thread Lift Results?

      Natural-looking results begin with conservative planning and treatment that respects the patient’s existing features. Dr. Mantor maps the direction of lift and support according to each person’s anatomy instead of relying on a standardized placement pattern. Her extensive medical knowledge, injecting experience since 2008 and Master Injector training help her design treatments that enhance facial definition without trying to change how the patient naturally looks.

    • How Long Does a PDO Thread Lift Typically Last?

      It almost sounds too good to be true, but an easy, minimally invasive treatment now makes it possible to lift and tighten skin, achieving results similar to a surgical facelift. A PDO Thread Lift leaves the face firmer, tighter, and more youthful in appearance, and it offers results that can last 18 months or more.

    • What Happens During a Complimentary PDO Thread Consultation With Dr. Mantor?

      During your complimentary MD consultation, Dr. Mantor will evaluate your facial structure, skin laxity, treatment history and cosmetic goals. She will explain whether lifting threads, smoothing threads, combination treatment or another option may provide the most appropriate result. You will also have an opportunity to discuss expected improvement, preparation, recovery, possible risks and personalized pricing before deciding whether to proceed. There is no substitute for an in-person physician assessment when planning a PDO thread lift.

    • Who Is a Good Candidate for an Advanced PDO Thread Lift in Westerville, Ohio?

      The best candidates generally have mild to moderate facial laxity and want improved support or definition without undergoing facelift surgery. PDO threads may be considered for early jowling, a softening jawline, loose skin beneath the chin or other age-related changes. Dr. Gina Mantor personally evaluates every patient to determine whether PDO threads—or another treatment—would best address their concerns. She is a double board-certified physician, Master Injector and experienced aesthetic provider who has served Columbus and Central Ohio since 2008.

    • What is the difference between lifting threads and smooth PDO threads?

      Barbed or lifting threads are designed to engage and reposition tissue, making them appropriate for concerns such as jowls, facial descent, and reduced jawline definition. Smooth, spiral, or multi-directional PDO threads are generally used to support collagen production and improve fine lines, crepey texture, or skin firmness. Dr. Mantor may use one type or combine multiple thread techniques to create a customized result.

    • Can PDO threads tighten the neck and area beneath the chin?

      PDO threads may improve mild laxity along the neck and submental area beneath the chin. Dr. Mantor offers specialized approaches designed to support the jawline, neck, and submentum. Depending on the cause of the concern, she may also recommend treating skin quality, unwanted fat, or underlying facial volume for a more complete result.

    • Are PDO threads good for jowls and a less-defined jawline?


      PDO lifting threads can be an excellent option for carefully selected patients with mild to moderate jowling or early loss of jawline definition. The threads help reposition descended tissue and create a cleaner transition between the lower face and neck. Patients with significant excess skin may require a surgical consultation or a different treatment plan.

    • Where can I receive a physician-performed PDO thread lift near Columbus, Ohio?

      Dr. Mantor’s Wrinkle & Weight Solutions provides customized PDO thread treatments in Westerville, conveniently serving Columbus and communities throughout Central Ohio. Complimentary physician consultations are available to determine whether lifting threads, collagen-stimulating threads, another treatment, or a combination approach is most appropriate.

    • Can Dr. Mantor Combine Different Types of PDO Threads in One Treatment?

      Yes, when appropriate, different thread types may be used within a personalized treatment plan. Lifting threads are designed to reposition and support tissue, while smooth or stimulating threads may be selected to encourage collagen production and improve skin quality. Dr. Mantor may recommend one type or a customized combination based on your anatomy, degree of laxity and desired outcome. Your complimentary physician consultation is the best way to determine which approach is appropriate for you.

    • Will a PDO thread lift make my face look pulled or unnatural?

      The goal is not to dramatically stretch the skin or change what makes you look like yourself. When performed conservatively and with careful attention to facial anatomy, PDO threads can create a refreshed, better-supported appearance while preserving natural expressions and facial proportions.

    • How do PDO threads improve the appearance of aging skin?

      PDO lifting threads provide mechanical support beneath the skin, creating an immediate lifting or repositioning effect. As the threads gradually dissolve, they also stimulate a natural healing response around the treatment area. This may support new collagen formation and help improve firmness, texture, and overall skin quality over time.

    • How Soon Will I See Results From the Newest PDO Thread Techniques?

      Some lifting and facial-definition improvements may be visible soon after treatment, although the area needs time to settle. Results can continue to evolve as temporary post-treatment changes subside and collagen remodeling occurs. Because every patient’s anatomy, thread selection and treatment plan are different, Dr. Mantor will explain what you can realistically expect during your complimentary MD consultation in Westerville.

    • What Can I expect During a PDO Thread Lift Treatment?

      Once the anesthetic has taken effect, your treatment will begin. The PDO threads are inserted via blunt tip needles, called cannulas, or sharp-tipped needles. Once inserted into the appropriate layer of skin, they act as anchors as the skin is lifted upwards. Then, the excess threads are cut off.

    • Are All PDO Thread Lifts the Same?

      There are several types of PDO threads and they all serve their own unique purpose. Depending on your desired goals, we may use one or many thread types during your PDO treatment.

    • Is a PDO thread lift the same as a surgical facelift?

      No. A PDO thread lift cannot remove excess skin or reproduce the degree or longevity of correction possible with facelift or neck-lift surgery. It is best viewed as a minimally invasive option for appropriately selected patients seeking a subtle to moderate improvement with less recovery than surgery.

    • Are There Things I Should Do to Prepare For My PDO Lift Treatment?

      Since PDO thread lifts are non-invasive, there isn’t a lot you need to do to prepare. However, there are some precautionary measures you can take to ensure the best results from your treatment. You may want to avoid the following one to two days before your treatment:


      ·       Alcohol

      ·       Ginko

      ·       Omega fish oil supplements

      ·       Chinese medicine

      ·       Vitamin E

      ·       High-intensity workouts

      ·       Steam rooms and saunas

    • What Do I Need to Do After Pdo Thread Treatments?

      There are not a lot of special after-care requirements to this treatment. However, you should hold off on any dental treatments for the first two weeks after your PDO thread lift. Holding your mouth open for an excessive period of time can affect the results of your treatment. Moreover, you’ll want to sleep on your back for the first couple of weeks. This ensures you don’t put too much pressure on one side of your face.

    • What Areas Can Pdo Threads Treat?

      PDO threads may be used to improve several areas of the face and neck, including:


      Sagging cheeks

      Jowls and lower-face laxity

      Poorly defined jawline

      Loose skin beneath the chin

      Neck laxity

      Downturned mouth corners

      Marionette lines

      Nasolabial folds

      Fine lines around the mouth

      Temples and selected facial contours


      The appropriate treatment areas depend on your anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, and cosmetic goals.

    • How is the PDO Lift Tteatment Designed?

      A PDO thread lift is customized to your unique skin type, skin texture and aesthetic goals. Depending on the area you want treated, you may receive several carefully placed barbed threads. Different threads are used for varying degrees of lift, skin tightening and cellular rejuvenation.

    • How Much Does a PDO Thread Lift Cost Near Columbus, Ohio?

      PDO thread lift pricing varies because treatment is customized according to the areas addressed, the number and type of threads selected, and the complexity of the treatment plan. Dr. Mantor provides individualized recommendations and transparent pricing after evaluating your needs.
