PDO Lifting and PDO Smoothing Threads by Dr. Michele Taylor
Compliment Your Stunning Smile
PDO Threads provide the same results as a facelift without surgery.
At Denti Belli, we want you to love the way you look, and that goes beyond your smile. For that reason, Dr. Michele Taylor proudly offers a new, non-invasive way to fight aging and enhance the shape of your face — PDO lifting and smoothing threads!
Why Our Patients Love PDO Threads
Dr. Michele Taylor injects the thread made of polydioxanone (PDO) under the skin using a non-invasive hollow needle. As a result, patients can experience the sought-after esthetics of a facelift without undergoing intensive surgery.
While PDO Threads will make you look 10 years younger, the real benefit comes from their ability to encourage natural collagen growth. Collagen is a family of proteins that are the primary structural component of connective tissues, such as skin and cartilage.
On average, PDO thread procedures take 1-2 hours to complete. That means you can get the same breathtaking results as a facelift in half the time. PDO threads also offer shorter recovery times when compared to traditional facelifts.
Commonly Asked Questions About PDO Threads
-
What are the benefits of PDO Threads?
There are many benefits that both the lifting or smoothing PDO threads can offer, including:
- Reducing acne scars
- Smoothing crepey, saggy skin
- Addressing radial lip lines
- Addressing glabellar frown lines
- Enhancing cheeks
- Repairing nasolabial folds
- Addressing oral commissures
- Neck lifting
- Marionette line adjustments
- Long-Term collagen building
-
How long do the results of PDO Threads last?
Following treatment, the threads will remain in the face for about 6-8 months, dissolving naturally after that time. While that happens, natural collagen stimulation will enhance the lifting effects of the procedure and ensure that the skin will stay that way for anywhere between 6-12 months.
-
Is everyone a candidate for PDO Threads?
PDO threads are non-invasive, so treatment is suitable for the majority of patients. With that said, you may not be the ideal candidate if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an autoimmune disease
- Have diabetes or are prone to infection
-
Are there any side effects of PDO Threads?
Like any procedure that involves anesthetics, there’s a risk of an allergic reaction. However, if you’ve been treated with a general anesthetic in the past without problems, then the risk is minimal. Beyond that, some patients experience some post-operative discomfort, but that normally resolves quickly.
Why Choose Our Renton Dentist For Facial Esthetics?
Believe it or not, dentists are the preferred provider for injecting PDO threads for numerous reasons.

Trained To Apply PDO Threads
As a dentist, Dr. Taylor is trained in understanding your facial areas and musculature. She administers and is proficient with anesthetics because she does this on a daily basis. Dr. Taylor is the master at making your injections comfortable, quick, and relatively painless for you.
On top of that, Dr. Taylor can use BOTOX, dermal fillers, and PDO threads to enhance your dental treatments, including anyone having trouble adjusting to dentures, lip augmentation, and orthodontic cases where retraining the facial muscles is necessary.
Other healthcare providers are not as experienced or qualified to administer injections and understanding your facial features. They also cannot treat the full range of areas that dentists can.
Better yet, Dr. Taylor is an Associate Member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE).
