PDO Threads
Are you wanting a lift procedure for your face, but not quite ready for surgery? PDO threads at Natural Radiance is the answer that will help restore your youth!
What are PDO threads?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads consist of medical-grade, biocompatible materials that are thinner than hair. Triple-board certified, Dr. Scott Edwards, at Natural Radiance inserts these tiny threads beneath the skin in targeted areas to lift, smooth, and tighten the skin, making you look years younger.
What are the benefits of PDO threads?
Two different threads; two different effects:
The first type of thread, the barbed, lifting type, result in an instant lift and more youthful appearance of the skin. Research has confirmed that PDO relaxes and stretches tendons and muscles. A process of natural protein synthesis then begins after about 10- 14 days.
Over the subsequent weeks results will continue to improve, peaking at around 6 months and lasting for up to 2 years as your own body produces collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Making this form of non-surgical facelift a very long-lasting result. The thread itself is completely biodegradable and dissolves within 12 weeks, after which new collagen has formed around the thread to continue to support results, maintaining a smooth and supple texture of the skin.
A second type of thread, the non-barbed type, results in a gradual progression to more natural looking skin with more durability and less lines and wrinkles and “crepe paper” appearance. Your body reacts to the PDO threads by improving the blood flow…
to the area which stimulates neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen in the skin). It also stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid, both substances are key to maintaining firm, youthful looking skin. Long after the PDO threads have dissolved, the new formation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid allows the skin to present with fewer wrinkles, thus improving the skin’s overall texture and youthfulness.
The PDO threading treatment is well tolerated by patients, quick to perform, non- surgical, and there is no need for anesthesia. There are many types of PDO threads designed for specific purposes. Allow Dr. Edwards to walk you through the differences and how these remarkable innovations may help you reach your aesthetic goals.

Are PDO threads right for me?
Along with providing clients with immediate results, PDO threads dissolve in a natural manner over a course of months, synthesizing new stimulating collagen production in the treated area. The new formation of collagen allows the skin to present with fewer wrinkles, thus improving the skin’s overall texture and youthfulness.

What can I expect with PDO threads?
PDO threads are inserted with a little numbing medication and sometimes some nitrous oxide to relax you. Once you are numb, Dr. Scott inserts thin needles to place the threads exactly where you need them to either lift saggy skin, or improve the quality of the skin. The needles are removed and the threads remain. You cannot feel them in place, but you will notice their lifting effects immediately. Over several weeks, you will notice the improvements in the thickness and texture of your skin.
The effects can last 9-18 months, but are influenced by many factors including, your medical history, the number and size of the threads, and your natural ability to lay down collagen and elastin.
