Los Angeles’ vibrant aesthetic market drives a steady flow of patients seeking minimally invasive facial rejuvenation. Practitioners across Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and the San Fernando Valley need a reliable method to lift and tighten skin without surgery. PDO thread lifts meet that demand, offering immediate contour improvement and long-term collagen stimulation. This course equips MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, RNs and dentists with the foundational knowledge to select appropriate threads, plan safe vectors, and understand the anatomy that protects nerves and vessels in the face and neck.
During the program you will explore the three main thread types - smooth, barbed and cog - and learn how vector planning influences lift direction. Detailed facial anatomy sessions highlight key layers and vascular pathways for safe placement. Hands-on labs guide you through insertion techniques for the mid-face, jawline and neck, while patient-selection criteria and after-care protocols ensure optimal outcomes. Complication management is reviewed so you can respond confidently if issues arise, completing a comprehensive skill set for everyday practice.
All courses include hands-on training with live patients under direct MD supervision
Participants begin with self-paced online didactics that cover thread science, anatomy, patient assessment and safety protocols. Once the modules are completed, you attend a single hands-on day at a centrally located hotel or conference center within the Los Angeles metro. Small groups work side-by-side with an MD instructor, practicing on live volunteer patients. Practitioners often travel from neighboring communities such as Pasadena, Orange County and the San Fernando Valley to join the session.
