Skip to content PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures that are inserted beneath the skin, providing immediate structural support while stimulating your body’s collagen production. Unlike treatments that simply add volume, PDO threads work regeneratively, reinforcing the skin’s foundational architecture for results that continue to develop over the weeks and months following treatment. The outcome is subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation that preserves beautiful movement while redefining contours.
Treatment plans are customized to each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Common treatment areas and concerns include:
PDO threads are a strong choice for those seeking real improvement without surgery. You may be a strong candidate if you:

Standard Pricing (Beginning August 1, 2026)
Thread count is customized to your anatomy and goals. Your provider will confirm the exact number after a full assessment, with a minimum of 10 threads for the face and 8 for the neck.
Your PDO thread experience begins with a thorough provider consultation to evaluate your goals and create a personalized treatment plan. During the procedure, fine dissolvable threads are placed beneath the skin through small needles or cannulas. The treatment is performed in the office, and most patients tolerate it well with the support of topical or local anesthesia. Your provider may discuss additional pain management options, including Journavx®, when appropriate.
Following treatment, patients may notice mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, or tightness in the treated areas. Some temporary asymmetry or mild dimpling during the healing process is also normal and expected. Most patients begin to see improvement as initial swelling subsides, with continued collagen stimulation occurring over the following weeks and months.
Proper aftercare supports optimal results and helps your skin heal comfortably following PDO thread treatment.

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to offer structural support while triggering your body’s natural collagen production. As the threads gradually dissolve, they leave behind a collagen-rich environment that supports firmer, more contoured-looking skin over time.
PDO threads are a non-surgical, in-office treatment that provides support and definition without the downtime, risks, or permanence of surgery. They are best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who seek natural-looking improvement while preserving full facial movement.
Ideal candidates show mild to moderate skin laxity and want to achieve more definition in areas such as the jawline, cheeks, neck, or brows. A consultation or photo review with one of our providers is required to confirm candidacy before scheduling treatment.
Thread count depends on your individual anatomy, treatment goals, and the areas being addressed. As a general guideline, face treatments typically require a minimum of 10 threads and neck treatments a minimum of 8, but your provider will not quote a specific number until your assessment is complete.
Topical or local anesthesia helps most patients tolerate the procedure well. You may feel some pressure or mild sensations during placement, but significant discomfort is uncommon. Your provider will discuss all comfort options with you before your treatment begins.
Results vary based on individual anatomy, the number of threads placed, and your body’s healing response. Many patients enjoy visible improvement for 12 to 18 months or longer, as collagen stimulation continues well after the threads themselves have dissolved. Individual results may vary.
Through July 31, 2026, active Beauty Bank members receive introductory pricing of $175 per thread. Beginning August 1, 2026, standard pricing will apply: $250 per thread for Beauty Bank members and $350 per thread for non-members.
You can schedule an in-office consultation to meet with one of our providers and create a personalized treatment plan, or you may submit clear photos for a preliminary candidacy review before committing to an in-person visit.
