PDO Threads

PDO Threads (Face + Neck)

PDO Threads are a minimally invasive treatment that lifts, tightens, and smooths the skin using dissolvable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO). These threads stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and provide both immediate and long-term rejuvenation without surgery. PDO Threads are ideal for patients in Cabot, North Little Rock, Central Arkansas, Sherwood, Jacksonville, Beebe, Searcy, and nearby areas seeking natural facial lifting and contouring.

  • Combine PDO lifting threads with dermal fillers to restore volume where needed and achieve a balanced, more youthful appearance.
  • Pair smoothing threads with Morpheus8 or microneedling for improved texture, tighter skin, and enhanced collagen remodeling.
  • ZO Skin Health Firming Serum can also support skin strength and prolong results.

Types of PDO Threads

Lifting Threads (Barbed/Cog Threads)
Used to reposition and lift sagging skin in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Provide an immediate lift with continued collagen production over time.

Designed to improve skin texture, tighten crepey skin, and stimulate collagen in areas that need refinement or strengthening.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long do PDO Threads last?
Results typically last 12–18 months. The threads dissolve naturally over several months, but the collagen they stimulate continues to support and firm the skin.
2. Is there downtime?
Most patients experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days. Normal activities can usually be resumed within 24–48 hours.
3. How many threads will I need?
This varies based on your goals. A lifting treatment may use 4–12 threads, while smoothing treatments may use anywhere from 10–40 mono threads. Your injector will create a customized plan during your consultation.
4. Do PDO Threads replace a facelift?
PDO Threads provide a non-surgical lift and collagen regeneration, but they will not duplicate surgical facelift results. They are ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity or for patients wanting a natural, subtle lift without downtime.
5. When will I see results?
You will see an immediate lifting effect, with continued improvements over 3–6 months as new collagen forms.
6. Are PDO Threads safe?
Yes. PDO has been used safely in the medical field for decades. When performed by trained injectors, PDO Threads are a low-risk, high-reward treatment for tightening and lifting.
