Weight loss, pregnancy, and the natural pull of gravity can leave behind crepey skin and soft contours that no amount of gym time seems to fix. If diet and exercise have taken you as far as they can, PDO thread treatments offer a non-surgical way to tighten loose skin and lift sagging areas across the body.
At Diamond Works Medspa, board-certified physician associate Carl Clarke, M.H.S., RPA-C, has spent more than 20 years perfecting aesthetic techniques that deliver natural, beautiful results. His signature Diamond Touch Technique® has been taught to providers nationwide, giving Astoria patients access to one of the most trusted names in body rejuvenation.
What Are PDO Threads for the Body?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to lift tissue and trigger your body’s natural collagen production. As the threads gradually absorb over several months, fresh collagen continues building, leaving skin firmer, smoother, and more youthful. Body threading is an excellent middle-ground option for patients who want visible improvement without the downtime, scars, or expense of surgery.
PDO Thread Treatments We Offer
PDO Threads for the Arms
Loose skin under the upper arms—often called “bat wings”—is one of the most common concerns after weight loss or aging. PDO threads gently tighten and smooth the arms, restoring tone without surgical scars.
PDO Threads for the Abdomen
Pregnancy and weight changes can leave the midsection lax and crepey. Thread treatments tighten the abdominal skin and stimulate new collagen for a flatter, firmer appearance.
PDO Threads for the Buttocks
For patients seeking a subtle lift without implants or fat transfer, buttock threading offers a non-surgical alternative that lifts, contours, and improves skin quality.
PDO Threads for the Knees
The skin above the knees is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Threads smooth crepey texture and tighten the upper-knee region for a more refined, youthful leg line.

What to Expect
Treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation, where Carl evaluates the area of concern and designs a personalized thread plan. The treated area is numbed for comfort, and threads are placed using precise, fine-needle techniques. Most sessions take under an hour, and you’ll notice an immediate tightening effect that continues to improve as collagen develops over the following months.
