Fortitude Health Spa

You just had a PDO thread lift. Here's what happens next.

Hours 1–6: You'll notice an immediate lifting effect. There may be mild soreness, tenderness, or a pulling sensation at the insertion points. This is normal — the threads are doing exactly what they're supposed to do.

Days 1–3: Some swelling and bruising is expected, especially around the jawline and cheeks. Sleep with your head elevated. Avoid wide mouth movements — eat soft foods and don't open your jaw too wide for yawning or laughing.

Days 4–7: Swelling begins to subside. The pulling sensation fades. You're starting to see the lift take shape, though things are still settling.

Weeks 2–4: This is the settling period. The threads anchor into position and your tissue adjusts. The lift refines and softens into a natural look. Most people feel comfortable at social events by week two.

Months 2–6: The threads are gradually dissolving, but here's the key — as they dissolve, they're stimulating collagen and elastin production around them. Your body is building its own support structure. The lifting effect continues to improve even after the threads are gone.

Year 1–2: Results can last up to two years as that new collagen maintains the lift.

The best results come from trusting the timeline.

People always want to know: what happens if I come in for a consultation? Will I feel pressured? Will they try to sell me something? Will it be awkward if I'm not ready to book?

No. No. And no.

Here's what actually happens.

You walk in. Alicia greets you and makes you feel at home. You sit down with one of our team members. They ask about your goals — what's been on your mind, what you'd like to change, what you've been curious about.

Then they listen. Not the kind of listening where someone waits for you to stop talking so they can pitch you. The kind where they actually take in what you're saying and think about it.

They explain your options. They tell you what they'd recommend — and what they wouldn't. They give you realistic timelines and honest expectations. If something isn't right for you, they'll say so.

Then you leave. With information. With clarity. With zero pressure to do anything that day.

That's it. That's the whole thing. And it's free.
