PDO Threads
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are a non-surgical treatment designed to lift, support, and refine the skin using dissolvable sutures placed beneath the surface. This approach helps reposition tissue while encouraging natural collagen production for gradual, lasting improvement.
PDO threads can also be used to improve skin texture and firmness. Depending on your needs, treatments may focus on structural support or overall skin renewal to create results that are naturally balanced.
Each treatment is tailored to your individual goals to offer a subtle yet effective option for those seeking visible improvement without surgery.
The MW Approach
Why We Offer It
PDO threads are offered as a non-surgical option for patients seeking visible lift and structural support without the need for more invasive procedures. This treatment allows us to address early to moderate signs of aging by repositioning tissue and reinforcing areas that have begun to lose firmness.
In addition to lifting, PDO threads support long-term skin health by stimulating collagen production. This makes them a versatile option for both contouring and improving overall skin quality, depending on the type of threads used.
We incorporate both lifting threads and smooth collagen-stimulating threads to create a more customized approach. Whether the goal is subtle definition, improved firmness, or skin renewal, each treatment is selected based on your anatomy, concerns, and desired outcome.
How Does It Work
PDO threads work by placing dissolvable sutures beneath the skin to provide immediate support while also stimulating the body’s natural healing response. These threads are carefully inserted into targeted areas to lift and reposition tissue for a defined appearance.
Once placed, the threads act as a framework that encourages collagen production around them. As the threads gradually dissolve over time, they leave behind a network of new collagen that helps maintain improved firmness and skin quality.
Different types of PDO threads are used depending on your goals. Lifting threads are designed to provide structural support and reposition sagging areas. Smooth threads focus on enhancing skin texture and stimulating collagen for overall skin renewal.
Who Is It For
PDO threads are ideal for individuals looking to improve skin laxity, restore subtle lift, and enhance overall facial definition without surgery. This treatment is well suited for those experiencing early to moderate signs of aging, such as:
- Sagging skin
- Loss of firmness
- Decreased contour in areas like the cheeks, jawline, or neck.
They are also a good option for patients who want to support long-term skin quality through collagen stimulation. Smooth threads can be used for those more focused on improving texture and firmness, while lifting threads are recommended for patients seeking more visible structural support.
A consultation is required to determine if PDO threads are appropriate for you, as treatment recommendations are based on your anatomy, skin condition, and individual goals.
What to Expect from a Treatment
Your PDO threads treatment begins with a consultation to assess your areas of concern and determine the most appropriate type of threads for your goals.
On the day of your appointment, the treatment area is cleansed and numbed to ensure comfort before the threads are carefully placed beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula.
The procedure is typically completed within a relatively short visit, depending on the number of threads used and the areas being treated. Once placed, lifting threads provide immediate support, while smooth threads begin stimulating collagen production for gradual improvement in skin quality.
You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising after treatment, which usually resolves within several days.
Initial results can be seen right away with lifting threads, while continued improvement develops over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

What Our Patients Say
Malia was professional and wonderful 🩷
Malia's practice is 🤌🏽💕 chefs kiss! She truly prioritizes my natural beauty and will never let me do anything that takes away from that. She always puts my facial features and overall health first, which I respect so much. When she injects me, her work is so intentional and beautifully done—it enhances my features in the most subtle, natural way. And because she has extensive experience as a medical RN, she thinks about your medical concerns and talks to you about them. When I vented to her about how "ugly" I felt she didnt meet me with telling me to inject more, but asked me if I wanted a natural facial refresh. She did not push at all, I said "yeah lets do it" and I was so happy with the results. She empowers women with what they already have and doesn't push for more injections or make you feel like you need more work like other practices do. My most favorite part about Malia is her follow-up care. She always checks in to see how everything is going, and that level of attention means everything. As someone in the medical field, I really appreciate and respect the way she cares for her patients. Nurse injectors don't go that extra mile, but she always does!
Malia is AMAZINg. She's very gentle and patient. She took her time to answer all my questions and eased any fears I had as a first timer.
