A.PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lifts can cause some discomfort, but the level of pain varies from person to person. A local anaesthetic is applied to numb the treatment area, so most people feel minimal pain during the treatment, however once this wears off you may require some over-the-counter pain relievers to help. Some may experience a mild pulling or pressure sensation as the threads are inserted. After the procedure, mild swelling, tenderness, and bruising for a few days and you may want to use ice packs. Some report a tight or sore sensation, similar to post-workout muscle soreness. However the pain usually subsides within a few days to a week.

Painkillers are usually recommended for the first 48 hours to manage any discomfort. The treated area may also feel tender for several weeks.
