Is a PDO thread lift painful?

PDO thread lifts are generally well-tolerated, but individual pain thresholds vary. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Minimal discomfort: Most patients experience some discomfort during thread insertion but describe it as a prickling, stinging, or pinching sensation.
  • Anesthetic: Your provider at AIVI Aesthetics will use a topical anesthetic or local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, significantly minimizing pain.
  • Post-procedure soreness: There may be some mild soreness or tenderness for a few days after the procedure, typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

Overall, the level of pain during a PDO thread lift should be minimal. If you have concerns about pain management, discuss them with your AIVI Aesthetics provider during your consultation.
