PDO THREADS in Woodbury, MN

Aging is not just about lines and wrinkles - it’s about the subtle shifts in firmness, elasticity, and the way light moves across your face. Over time, the scaffolding beneath your skin that once kept it taut and supple begins to weaken, leaving softness where there was once structure, and laxity where there was once lift.
At Petal + Stem Aesthetic & Longevity, we believe in regenerative beauty, approaches that work with your body, not against it. PDO threads are one of the most elegant, natural, and innovative ways to restore skin integrity without adding volume or altering your features. These dissolvable, medical-grade threads are placed beneath the skin to stimulate new collagen production, reinforcing your skin’s foundation and creating lasting firmness, resilience, and glow.
This is not about tightening. It’s about renewing. It’s about turning back the clock at a cellular level, so that your skin doesn’t just look younger, it behaves younger.
PROCEDURE LENGTH | 30–45 minutes, depending on treatment areas.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS | Results build over time; most patients benefit from one to two sessions per year to maintain collagen production.
RESULTS | Skin becomes progressively firmer, plumper, and more lifted over the next 3–6 months as collagen builds. Results last 12–18 months, with maintenance recommended annually.
RECOVERY | Minimal downtime. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for 3–5 days, but most patients return to daily activities immediately.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are biodegradable, medical-grade sutures that have long been used in surgery for their safety and ability to dissolve naturally in the body. When placed beneath the skin, these threads act as a framework for new collagen production, triggering your body’s own regenerative response and rebuilding lost support without adding artificial volume.
Over time, as the PDO threads dissolve, your skin develops its own natural scaffolding, strengthening itself from within. The result? A firmer, tighter, and more youthful complexion that improves with every passing month.
This is not an instant lift - it’s a gradual, graceful renewal of the skin’s structure, ensuring long-term improvement in texture, tone, and resilience.
At Petal + Stem, every procedure is designed to feel as seamless and comfortable as possible. After a thorough consultation, we select the ideal thread placement for your specific skin needs, ensuring a customized, natural result.
The treatment begins with the application of a numbing agent to ensure maximum comfort. Using a fine, flexible cannula, the PDO threads are gently inserted beneath the skin, strategically placed to encourage new collagen formation. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pressure or slight tugging, but no significant discomfort.
The process is completed in under an hour, and you’ll leave the clinic with no incisions, no scars - just the beginning of your skin’s transformation.
PDO threads are not for adding volume - they are for revitalizing the foundation of your skin. This treatment is ideal for those experiencing:
Because PDO threads stimulate the body’s own regenerative processes, they work beautifully alongside other treatments like neurotoxins, microneedling, and biostimulatory injectables to create a truly comprehensive approach to aging gracefully.

The beauty of PDO threads is that their impact continues to unfold long after treatment. While some initial tightening may be visible, the real transformation happens over the next three to six months as collagen forms, reinforcing the skin’s structure from within.
By six months, the skin appears noticeably firmer, smoother, and more resilient, with improvements lasting 12–18 months. Because the body’s own collagen replaces the threads, results look and feel completely natural - like your skin, just stronger.
For those seeking long-term collagen maintenance, annual touch-ups keep the skin at its peak, preserving strength and elasticity over time.
Unlike surgical procedures, PDO threads require no incisions, no stitches, and minimal downtime. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, with only mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising that fades within 3–5 days.
