Give sagging skin a boost—and give the effects of aging the boot! PDO threads at Restoration MedSpa tighten areas that sag, lifting them from the inside out.
This long-lasting anti-aging treatment achieves younger-looking, firmer skin without surgery or long downtimes! Instead, you get immediate results that continue to improve for 4 to 6 months after the treatment. The PDO (polydioxanone) threads boost collagen production as they tighten skin for excellent results.

What It Treats
Long Lasting
The positive results of your PDO threads procedure last not just months, but years!
Nonsurgical
The PDO threads are put in place using a thin cannula or needle without any incisions.
Healthy Skin
PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for plumper, more hydrated skin.
Consultation
Every Restoration MedSpa treatment starts with a complimentary personal consultation. We’ll openly and honestly discuss your aesthetic concerns, realistic goals for treatment, and your medical history. Your provider will also examine your treatment areas. If PDO threads are the best choice to deliver results, we’ll schedule your session.
Treatment
The first step is to cleanse and sterilize the treatment area. Next, your Restoration MedSpa provider injects a numbing agent for maximum comfort. When that has taken full effect, the PDO threads are placed using a hollow needle. The thread gently pulls the skin into the ideal position and is then anchored into the sub-dermal layers. You won’t be able to see the threads—but you will see immediate positive results!
Recovery
There is no downtime after PDO threads, though we do recommend taking a full day to rest. Full recovery takes 7 to 10 days, during which time you should avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities. You’ll also want to refrain from opening your mouth widely as your body’s healing powers kick in and the threads become more firmly placed.
PDO threads do amazing work, erasing lines and wrinkles as they lift sagging skin. Threads can also be used to lift tissue in upper arms, knees, neck, chest or abdomen. Over time, they also help your skin become plumper, more hydrated, and healthier.
Because of these positive results, PDO threads in Winston-Salem are commonly used as a treatment on the neck to address sagging or loose skin beneath the chin.
No, the PDO thread process doesn’t hurt. Your Restoration MedSpa provider will ensure your comfort with our numbing injection.
After the numbing injection wears off, there may be some discomfort as your body’s natural healing processes go into effect, including some soreness or temporary, dull aching. Non-blood thinning pain relief, such as Tylenol, can be used for assistance. The post-procedure discomfort usually fully abates after 7 to 14 days.
For most Restoration MedSpa patients, the PDO thread procedure delivers immediate improvements in skin laxity and wrinkle reduction/anti-aging benefits because the thread placement produces a lifting effect right away. Your results will settle—meaning fully develop—over the next 4 to 12 weeks as your body begins to produce more collagen in the treatment area.
We also place smooth PDO threads under the skin to stimulate collagen production. This helps treat fine lines or crepey skin.
This natural reaction to build skin health is how PDO threads deliver such long-term benefits even after the threads have dissolved.
