Total Lift is our comprehensive nonsurgical lifting treatment using PDO threads. Dissolvable polydioxanone threads are placed beneath the skin through a fine cannula to reposition sagging tissue across the face, delivering a visible lift on the day of treatment. As the threads gradually absorb, they stimulate collagen and elastin that help firm and support the skin.
It is designed for adults with mild to moderate laxity around the cheeks, jawline and neck who want firmer contours without a facelift. At our Merrick clinic, your provider studies how your face has changed, then plans thread placement across each area so the result looks lifted, defined and natural, with gradual collagen gains continuing for months.

What to Expect
Your consultation reviews your facial structure, skin quality and goals, and your provider explains where threads will be placed. On treatment day, the skin is cleansed and each entry point is numbed before threads are inserted and positioned to lift. You may feel pressure or tugging. Slight swelling, bruising or tightness is common for a few days. Avoid facial massage, heavy workouts and sleeping on your side briefly, then return for a follow up.
