PDO Thread Lift Training I & II: Master Advanced Techniques with Empire Virtual Training

Empire Medical Training's PDO Thread Lift Training is a CME-accredited certification program covering Level I and Level II PDO thread procedures for non-surgical face, neck, and body rejuvenation. Thread Lift procedures have become one of the most sought-after non-surgical cosmetic procedures in aesthetic medicine, and this course teaches the specific protocols associated with proper placement into fascial tissues as well as selection of the various sizes and dimensions of sutures for each treatment area.

This hands-on course covers smooth threads (mono and mesh sutures), twisted PDO threads (basic, double, and screw super), volume threads (basic and broom with cannula), and barbed threads (unidirectional, bidirectional, 3D, and 4D configurations). You will learn advanced applications including the Cat's Eye Brow lift, non-surgical rhinoplasty, tear trough volumizing, lip flip technique, acne PDO treatments, abdomen contouring, and body lifting for arms, legs, and decolletage. Live patient hands-on training is supervised by board-certified physician faculty.

PDO threads function by stimulating collagen synthesis and providing direct mechanical lifting of sagging skin. The threads are absorbable in 4-6 months but results hold for an additional 8-12 months. With treatment areas spanning the full face, neck, and body, PDO thread training positions your practice to offer one of the most versatile and marketable non-surgical procedures available.

This Empire Virtual Training course is part of Empire's Academy of Aesthetics. View the full PDO Thread Lift Training training curriculum, accreditation details, and certification info.

Frequently Asked Questions About PDO Thread Lift Training Training in Empire Virtual Training

This training caters to MDs, DOs, DMDs, DDS, NPs, RNs and other licensed healthcare professionals. Participants must have completed training in Botox and Fillers (with Empire or equivalent) and have a minimum of 6 months experience performing aesthetics and injectable procedures.

A board-certified physician expert teaches this course, with other licensed healthcare professionals assisting where needed. The curriculum was developed in coordination with nationally sought-after speakers and educators who are master injectors and experts in PDO Threads.

The course covers smooth mono threads and mesh sutures for collagen stimulation, twisted PDO threads (basic, double, screw super), volume threads with cannula options, and barbed threads in unidirectional, bidirectional, 3D, and 4D configurations. Barbed threads (free-floating cogged) do not need to be attached to a separate structure to maintain a lift.

Treatment areas include forehead lines, eyebrows (Cat's Eye Brow lift), lower eyelid, cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips (vermillion border and lip flip), jawline, jowls, neck, decolletage, arms, legs, abdomen, and cleavage. The course also covers non-surgical rhinoplasty and tear trough volumizing with threads.

PDO threads are absorbable in 4-6 months but will hold results for an additional 8-12 months, providing up to 16 months of effect. The threads stimulate neocollagenesis and retraction of skin tissues where placed, creating lasting structural improvement beyond the thread absorption period.

Certainly. For those outside the United States, injections on anatomical models are an option; however, you will not be allowed to inject on a live patient. Each state has its own regulations concerning live patient injections, so consult your licensing board to determine permissions.

Yes, participants must bring their own model who has been medically cleared for the procedure. Model volunteers receive treatments at no charge. Each practitioner receives approximately 30 minutes of supervised hands-on time working on a patient from start to finish.

The course includes pre-course HD training videos, a full-color workbook, hands-on live patient training, injection training products, specialized group training with peer-to-peer technique exchange, live Q&A with board-certified faculty, and an Empire Certificate of Achievement upon completion.
