At AMORE Health + Beauty, we offer PDO threads as an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for patients in Pleasant View and Clarksville, TN. These medical-grade sutures are expertly placed under the skin to lift sagging tissue, smooth lines, and stimulate collagen production. Unlike surgery, PDO threads require no incisions or general anesthesia, making this treatment an appealing choice for those who want meaningful results without downtime.
How PDO Threads Work
PDO, short for polydioxanone, is a safe and absorbable material that has been used in medical sutures for decades. Once inserted, the threads provide immediate structural support while encouraging your body to naturally rebuild collagen around them.
As the threads gradually dissolve over several months, the new collagen helps maintain firmness and elasticity for long-lasting improvement.
PDO threads come in two main varieties: lifting threads, which reposition sagging skin, and smooth threads, which focus on collagen stimulation and texture refinement.
PDO Lifting Threads
PDO lifting threads are designed to create an instant lift while continuing to improve skin quality over time.
Best for:
- Jowls and jawline definition
- Lower face and mid-face sagging
- Neck tightening
- Brow and cheek support
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Benefits:
- Immediate lift that continues improving over 3–6 months
- Stimulates collagen for natural results
- Restores youthful contours without adding volume
- Results lasting 12–18 months
PDO Smooth Threads
Smooth threads are finer and designed for rejuvenation rather than lifting. They are placed just beneath the skin to stimulate collagen, improve texture, and soften fine lines.
Best for:
- Fine lines around lips and mouth
- Under-eye crepiness
- Crow’s feet
- Acne scars
- Neck lines (“tech neck”)
- Décolleté and arms
Benefits:
- Boosts collagen without volume
- Enhances elasticity and skin quality
- Provides subtle, gradual tightening
- Ideal for prevention and maintenance
Treatment Experience and Recovery
PDO thread treatments are performed in-office and typically take about 30–60 minutes. A numbing agent is used to keep you comfortable. Most patients see immediate results, with continued improvement as collagen builds over the following months.
Recovery is minimal—you may experience some swelling or tenderness for a few days, but most people return to normal routines right away. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for about a week, but makeup can usually be worn the next day.
Combining PDO Threads With Other Treatments
PDO threads can stand alone or be combined with other services for enhanced outcomes. Pairing threads with dermal fillers like Restylane® can restore volume while the threads provide lift. Neurotoxins such as Xeomin® smooth dynamic wrinkles like frown lines. Other treatments, such as chemical peels can enhance skin tone and texture but typically need to wait at least a few weeks after your PDO thread treatment. We can design a custom treatment plan for you, including timing appointments to fit easily into your lifestyle.
