PDO Threads

PDO threads, short for polydioxanone threads, are a type of suture made of a biocompatible material that dissolves safely within the body over time, typically around 6 months. While they dissolve eventually, the threads provide benefits that can last longer due to their effect on collagen production.

Here’s a breakdown of how PDO threads work:

• Lifting and Tightening: Tiny threads are inserted into targeted areas of the face or body to physically lift sagging skin and provide a tightening effect.
• Collagen Boost: The insertion of the threads triggers the body’s natural healing response, which involves increased collagen production. Collagen is a protein that plumps and supports the skin, so this boost contributes to a more youthful appearance.

PDO threads offer a less dramatic but faster alternative to facelift surgery. They are suitable for those looking to address mild to moderate sagging and wrinkles.
