PDO Thread Lift
Clarity Medical Aesthetics specializes in the PDO thread lift, a revolutionary, non-surgical lifting treatment for the face and body.
“Best alternative to surgery”
I drive over an hour to get my threads done at Clarity. Kati has been perfecting the art of threads for over nine years. There is no one else I would trust to get amazing results like these.

PDO threads are absorbable suture threads that lift and visibly improve the appearance of sagging skin. A thread lift is an effective treatment for:
- Brows
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Crow’s Feet
- Frown lines or “11s”
- Jowls
- Lips, specifically vertical lip lines
- Neck
- Certain areas on the body
HOW IT WORKS:
PDO threads are inserted under the skin in a mesh or lattice pattern, which act as a “scaffold” to help hold the skin against the effects of gravity. Once the PDO threads are inserted under the skin, it prompts the body’s automatic response by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Our body absorbs the PDO thread within four to six months, leaving nothing behind but the newly formed “scaffold,” which will continue to lift the treated area for another 12 to 24 months.
Kati Midgley, PA-C has learned the art of the PDO Thread Lift technique from two highly respected plastic surgeons from Italy — Dr. Antoinetta Quaranta and Dr. Guarino. In addition, Kati has taught a master class with Dr. Quaranta and was the first to teach the only hands-on PDO Thread Lift course in the United States.
Kati Midgley, PA-C was the first medical aesthetics professional in Connecticut to offer this revolutionary technique and presented her patented Tulip Vector™ Thread Technique at the Global Aesthetics Conference in Brazil.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
First, a topical or a local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area. The area will be marked and the threads are inserted. The entire procedure can take less than 45 minutes.
Some treatment areas will see results immediately, other areas take up to 2 to 3 months with full benefits around the 6-month mark. Results may last from 12 to 24 months.
Some swelling can occur following treatment, which typically resolves within three to four days. Bruising can be moderate and last up to 14 days.
