PDO threads are an advanced, non-surgical rejuvenation treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by promoting natural collagen production. These dissolvable threads, made from polydioxanone (PDO), are gently inserted under the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
At Timeless Youth MD in West Des Moines, Dr. Melissa Young specializes in PDO threads to help our patients achieve their aesthetic goals. This treatment can improve overall texture, make fine lines less noticeable, or enhance the firmness of your skin. Creating a welcoming, supportive environment is our top priority, ensuring each patient receives a customized plan tailored to their specific needs.

How Smooth PDO Threads Works
PDO threads work by introducing dissolvable polydioxanone threads beneath the skin. Designed to stimulate natural collagen production in the body, these threads are strategically placed on the body. Once inserted, the threads create a supportive scaffold that stimulates your body to produce collagen in the area. The threads dissolve naturally over time, leaving new collagen that adds structure and texture to the skin.
Topical anesthesia is used during the minimally invasive procedure. Most sessions take up to 30 minutes, and the patient can resume normal activities immediately following the session. Results develop gradually as collagen production increases, with noticeable skin quality and texture improvements within weeks of treatment.
