PDO Threads

PDO threads, or Polydioxanone threads, are a form of absorbable suture material commonly used in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin. When inserted beneath the skin, PDO threads create an immediate mechanical lift while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin over time, leading to gradual and lasting improvements in skin firmness and elasticity.

TREATMENT AREAS

  • Facial Contouring: Jawline tightening, cheek lifting, and brow elevation.
  • Neck and Body: Neck tightening, breast lifting, and skin rejuvenation in various body areas.
  • Peri-Oral Lines: When strategically placed around the mouth, PDO threads help tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including smoker’s lines and nasolabial folds.
