San Juan’s growing aesthetic market and its bilingual patient population create a unique opportunity for clinicians to expand their minimally invasive offerings. Practitioners across San Juan, Guaynabo, Bayamón, Carolina, Caguas and even Ponce are seeking reliable, CME-accredited training that reflects the specific anatomical considerations of Caribbean patients. This PDO Thread Lift course delivers that expertise, helping you meet rising demand while preserving natural results in their practices and improve patient satisfaction.
During the program you will learn to differentiate smooth, barbed and cog PDO threads and develop precise vector plans for each facial zone. Detailed facial anatomy sessions focus on safe entry points for mid-face, jawline and neck lifts. You will practice insertion techniques on live models, mastering patient selection criteria, after-care protocols and complication management. Each skill is reinforced through interactive case studies and real-time feedback from a board-certified MD instructor.
The PDO Thread Lift Training in San Juan, PR is a focused one-day hands-on workshop designed to teach clinicians how to address facial sagging and loss of definition using absorbable polydioxanone threads. Participants learn how smooth, barbed (cog) and screw-type PDO threads create lift and stimulate collagen, providing a minimally invasive alternative to surgical facelifts. The curriculum targets common aesthetic concerns in the San Juan metro area, such as mid-face descent, jawline widening, neck laxity, and brow ptosis, equipping you to treat these issues safely.
The program begins with three online modules that review PDO thread types, collagen induction, facial anatomy, and vector planning. After completing the digital coursework, you attend the in-person session in the San Juan, PR metro area, where groups of up to six clinicians practice under an MD’s direct supervision. The day includes a live demonstration, step-by-step insertion of threads in the mid-face, jawline, neck and brow, and a hands-on rotation on models. You leave with a detailed procedure handbook, a CME-eligible certificate, and a set of post-procedure checklists.
Practitioners serving San Juan, Guaynabo, Bayamón, Carolina, Caguas and Ponce encounter a bilingual patient base that increasingly seeks non-surgical rejuvenation. Adding PDO thread lifts expands your service menu without requiring operating-room resources, allowing you to address lift and contour concerns in a single office visit. The technique complements filler and neurotoxin treatments already popular in the island, creating cross-selling opportunities and improving overall patient satisfaction. By mastering thread placement and complication management, you can meet local demand while maintaining a safe, evidence-based practice.
Review the three PDO thread families - smooth, barbed (cog) and screw - focusing on material properties, degradation timeline, and how controlled tissue injury stimulates new collagen production for gradual lift.
Facial anatomy essential for safe thread placement, including ligamentous support, vascular landmarks, and dermal thickness across the mid-face, jawline, neck and brow regions and nerve pathways.

Step-by-step insertion technique for the mid-face, jawline, neck and brow, emphasizing proper needle trajectory, tension adjustment, and real-time vector correction under MD supervision during the hands-on session.
Aftercare protocols and complication management, including swelling control, infection prevention, thread migration, and strategies for immediate and delayed adverse events tailored to the tropical climate of San Juan.
