PDO threads at Emerald Health in Hickory, NC, offer a minimally invasive way to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. This virtually painless treatment uses absorbable threads to lift and smooth. It's  an ideal choice for those seeking a subtle, natural enhancement, but don't want surgery or extensive downtime. Performed by our skilled physicians, the procedure is quick, with most appointments completed in under an hour. The immediate lifting effects improve over time as collagen production is stimulated, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

The best candidates for PDO thread lifts are typically in their late 30's to mid-50's, have mild to moderate skin laxity, and at a stable body weight. Severe skin laxity will require traditional facelift surgery. 

For even greater results, PDO threads can be combined with advanced treatments like our NeoGen PSR, which enhances skin texture and tone. Add PDO Afterglow for targeted skin renewal and additional collagen stimulation for a longer-lasting, youthful appearance. Whether you're interested in a standalone PDO treatment or a combination approach, our physicians will customize your plan to achieve a refreshed, natural look you’ll love.
