PDO Threads
Aging doesn’t have to mean surrendering to sagging skin or deeper smile lines. And surgery? It’s not the only way to get that lifted, refreshed look. At Winnie King, MD Aesthetics and Wellness, PDO Threads offer a simple, non-invasive alternative. They give you the structure and support your face used to have—without cutting, stitches, or weeks of recovery.
What Are PDO Threads, and How Do They Work?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are fine, absorbable sutures placed just under the skin to lift and firm areas of sagging or loose tissue. Over time, these threads dissolve naturally, but while they’re there, they stimulate collagen production and give your face a more youthful contour. Think of it as scaffolding for your skin, encouraging it to rebuild from within.
You can get PDO threads placed in the cheeks, jawline, neck, brows, or around the mouth. They’re ideal if you’re starting to see the early signs of aging but aren’t quite ready—or interested—in going under the knife.
A Gentle Yet Effective Procedure
The process is surprisingly straightforward. After a consultation, we’ll apply a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Then, Dr. Winnie King carefully places the threads where they’ll offer the most lift and structure. The entire session takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the area treated.
Right after your appointment, you’ll notice a subtle lift. Over the next few weeks, your body builds collagen around the threads, firming up the area even more. Results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months.
No Surgery, No Downtime—Just a Natural Refresh
What people love about PDO Threads is how easy they are. You don’t need to take time off work. You don’t walk around with bruises or swelling. Most people go back to their day right after their appointment. The improvement looks natural—just like you, only more awake and a little more sculpted.
And suppose you’re already exploring facial rejuvenation or interested in combining PDO Threads with other non-surgical treatments. In that case, our team will help you map out the best timing and treatment plan.
