PDO Thread Lift Certification for Nurses & Nurse Practitioners

Registered nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants make up a large share of every PDO Thread Lift course. The curriculum is the same for every clinician: online didactic modules first, then a hands-on day where you treat live patients in a small group under direct physician supervision, and a certificate of completion with CME credits at the end.

What you can do with the training afterwards depends on your license and your state. In many states RNs perform aesthetic injections under a physician or nurse practitioner's delegation and supervision, while NP and PA scope varies by state and practice agreement. Before you enroll, confirm the rules with your state board of nursing or medicine; our admissions team can also walk you through what other nurses in your state have done.

  • Same hands-on protocol and live-patient practice for RN, NP, PA, MD, DO and DDS attendees
  • Documentation you can show an employer or supervising physician: certificate, CME credits and course syllabus
  • Post-course support from the clinical team for questions that come up in your first cases
