PDO Threads
What if you could turn back the clock on your skin—lifting sagging areas, smoothing out fine lines, and restoring those youthful contours—all without going under the knife? That’s the magic of PDO threads. Whether you’re after a subtle refresh or a dramatic transformation, PDO threads can help you look in the mirror and love what you see.
What It Is
PDO threads are an innovative aesthetic treatment that combines immediate results with long-term skin improvement. These threads are made from polydioxanone (PDO), a material that has been safely used in medical procedures like sutures for decades. Once inserted into the skin, PDO threads dissolve naturally over time while stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin texture, and creating a lifted, youthful look.
what it treats
At Introspect Wellness in Keene, NH, we specialize in two types of PDO threads: Smooth Threads to refine your skin’s texture and enhance its glow, and Lifting Threads to sculpt and define areas that have lost their firmness.
PDO Smooth Threads
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks.
- Crepey skin on the neck or décolletage.
- Acne scars or uneven texture.
- Areas needing subtle rejuvenation and improved elasticity.
PDO Lifting Threads
- Sagging cheeks and jowls.
- Drooping brows or eyelids.
- Loss of jawline definition.
- Loose skin on the neck needing firming and lifting.
How it works
PDO Smooth Threads
Smooth threads are placed just beneath the surface of your skin to create a framework for collagen regeneration. As the threads dissolve naturally, they leave behind firmer, smoother skin with improved texture and elasticity.
PDO Lifting Threads
Lifting threads go deeper, where they anchor sagging tissue and physically lift it into a more youthful position. These threads also stimulate collagen, so your skin’s firmness improves even after the threads dissolve.

What to expect
Your Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess your concerns and determine whether PDO Smooth Threads, PDO Lifting Threads, or a combination of both is best for your goals.
The Treatment
The procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes. A numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort as the threads are inserted with a fine needle or cannula. Most clients report only mild pressure or discomfort during the process.
Recovery and Results
Expect mild swelling or bruising for a few days, but most clients return to daily activities immediately. Results from PDO Lifting Threads are noticeable right away, while the benefits of Smooth Threads become more evident as collagen builds over the following weeks. Both treatments offer results that typically last 12-18 months.

Are PDO threads safe?
