PDO threads offer a non-surgical path to visible lift and structural definition in the midface, jawline, and lower face. For Winston-Salem clients who want real improvement without a surgical result, that combination of subtlety and structure is often exactly the right fit. At Restoration MedSpa, the first step is an honest conversation about your goals, facial structure, and whether threads make sense for you.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are fine, dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to create a gentle structural lift while stimulating collagen production as they dissolve over the following months. Many Winston-Salem clients in West End and Ardmore schedule appointments between other commitments, fitting the procedure into a regular day, with just one day of recommended rest afterward.

What It Treats
PDO threads address a range of concerns related to skin laxity and facial volume loss, making them a versatile option for clients seeking visible definition without surgery.
Winston-Salem clients from Reynolda and Buena Vista to Sherwood Forest look for treatments that deliver real results without requiring significant time away from their routines. PDO threads offer a balance of visible improvement, minimal downtime, and outcomes that build naturally over time.
Gradual, Natural-Looking Results
Results start with an immediate lift and become more refined over the following months as collagen production increases.
No Incisions, No Surgical Scars
Threads are placed using a fine cannula or hollow needle, meaning no cuts, no stitches, and no surgical scars.
Single-Session Treatment
Most clients achieve their goals in one appointment, making PDO threads a practical fit for busy schedules.
Honest Candidacy Guidance
If threads are not the right fit for your goals or anatomy, your Restoration MedSpa provider will say so directly and help you explore what would serve you better.
Pricing for PDO threads is personalized based on the number of threads used, the treatment areas addressed, and the plan developed at your consultation. To get a clear picture of what to expect for your face and goals, request an appointment, and we will walk through everything during your complimentary consultation.
Real outcomes start with a plan built around your specific anatomy, not a one-size-fits-all formula. A selection of before-and-after results from PDO thread treatments is available in our gallery.
Before & After Highlights:
Consultation
We begin with an honest conversation about your aesthetic goals, your facial anatomy, and whether PDO threads are genuinely the right fit. If another treatment would serve you better, your provider will recommend it directly.
Treatment
The treatment area is cleansed, and a numbing agent is applied for your comfort. Your provider then places the threads with a fine, hollow needle, gently repositioning the tissue for an immediate, visible lift. Most clients notice results as soon as the procedure is complete.
Recovery
Downtime is one day. Over the next 7 to 10 days, avoid heavy lifting and wide-mouth movements as the threads settle. Collagen stimulation continues building for several months after your appointment.
Whether you are exploring PDO threads for the first time or returning with a specific concern in mind, the first step is a conversation. Request an appointment to connect with a Restoration MedSpa provider who will give you an honest picture of what threads can do for you.
Our Winston-Salem clients come to PDO thread consultations with thoughtful questions, most of which focus on whether threads are the right choice for their faces. Here are the ones we hear most often.
The best candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity and want subtle, natural-looking support in the midface, jawline, or lower face rather than a dramatic change. Candidacy also depends on your skin quality and overall facial structure, which is why an individual consultation matters more than a general checklist. If threads are the right fit, your provider will say so.
Results typically last between one and three years, depending on the treatment area, how your skin responds to collagen stimulation, and how your body processes the threads as they dissolve. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline specific to your anatomy and goals during your consultation.
Yes. While PDO threads are often associated with the midface, jawline, and lower face, they can also address sagging in the neck, chest, upper arms, and knees. Thread placement is highly customizable, and your provider will recommend the areas that make the most sense based on your goals and anatomy.
The procedure is well tolerated by most clients. Before placing any threads, your provider applies a numbing agent to the treatment area, and the threads are placed with a fine cannula or hollow needle. After the numbing wears off, you may notice mild soreness or tenderness for 7 to 14 days. Non-blood-thinning pain relief, such as Tylenol, can help manage any discomfort during that period.
