Lift and Contour
As collagen production slows with age, the skin can begin to lose its firmness, causing sagging, laxity, and changes in facial contours. Our PDO threads in Leawood are a minimally invasive solution for patients who want visible face lifting without surgery. Using dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin, this treatment provides immediate support while also stimulating collagen production over time.
At Regain, we use PDO threads to help create sharper contours, firmer skin, and natural rejuvenation. Book a complimentary consultation to learn more.

Benefits of PDO Threads at Regain
Learn about the benefits of PDO threads from our team here.
Immediate Lift
PDO threads provide visible support to the skin immediately after placement, helping create a more lifted and defined appearance.
Collagen Stimulation
As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, helping improve skin firmness, texture, and elasticity over time.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities quickly, making PDO threads an attractive alternative to surgical lifting procedures.
Why Choose PDO Threads?
PDO threads do more than simply lift and reposition sagging skin. These dissolvable threads also help improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.
As collagen develops, patients often notice continued improvements in facial contours and skin quality. Read more below to learn how our PDO threads in Leawood work, what happens during treatment, and what results you can expect.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a biodegradable material that has been used safely in medical procedures for decades. These specialized threads are placed beneath the skin to provide structural support and encourage collagen production.
Although the threads dissolve naturally after a while, they continue to provide long-lasting results because they encourage collagen synthesis, which maintains skin’s firmness and flexibility.
What to Expect During Your PDO Thread Treatment
Before we begin, your provider applies a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable during the treatment. Once you’re ready, your provider uses a fine needle or cannula to place the threads beneath the skin’s surface and into the subcutaneous tissue. While you shouldn’t feel any pain, you can expect to feel light pressure around the treatment area.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, or tightness for several days after treatment. These side effects typically resolve on their own.
You may notice an immediate lifting effect, but your results should continue improving over the following weeks as collagen production increases. Many patients enjoy results that last for 12 to 18 months.
PDO Threads vs. Surgery
PDO threads are ideal for patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who want noticeable improvement without surgery, scars, or lengthy recovery.
While a surgical facelift may be better suited for severe skin laxity, PDO threads offer a less invasive option with natural-looking results and significantly less downtime.
