PDO Threads in Greensboro

Threads are most effective for mild to moderate laxity when the goal is a subtle lift and added support. The cheeks and midface, jawline and jowl area, and lower neck are among the most common treatment zones.

When volume loss is the primary driver of aging over laxity, collagen stimulators or dermal fillers often serve the client better, either on their own or alongside threads as part of a coordinated plan. Your provider will assess your face and recommend the approach most likely to meet your actual goals.

No, the process of placing PDO threads doesn’t hurt. Your Restoration MedSpa provider will apply a numbing solution before treatment to ensure your comfort throughout. Once the numbing has worn off, you may experience minor soreness as your body begins its natural healing process. Non-blood-thinning pain relievers, like Tylenol, can help manage temporary discomfort that typically resolves within 7 to 14 days.

Smooth threads are designed primarily to stimulate collagen production, making them well-suited for improving skin texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality. Barbed threads have small anchoring points that allow them to grip and lift tissue more directly, making them the preferred option for mechanical lift in areas of laxity.

Many treatment plans incorporate both types, with smooth threads addressing skin quality and barbed threads providing structural support. Your provider will determine which combination is appropriate for your anatomy during your consultation.

PDO thread results typically last one to three years, though individual outcomes vary based on skin laxity, facial structure, the area treated, and how threads fit into a broader rejuvenation plan. Most clients see lift and collagen improvement developing over several weeks after treatment, with benefits that continue even after the threads have fully dissolved.

Realistic expectation-setting is a core part of every consultation at Restoration MedSpa, because longevity depends on your specific anatomy and goals.
