What Are PDO Threads?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures used to lift, tighten, and firm sagging skin. These threads are strategically placed beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity, and create a natural lifting effect. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind firmer, rejuvenated skin.

PDO Threads are highly versatile and can be used to treat multiple areas, including:

• Jawline and chin: Achieve a more defined jawline and lift sagging jowls.
• Cheeks: Lift sagging cheeks for a more youthful contour.
• Neck: Tighten loose skin for a smoother neckline.
• Eyebrows: Subtly lift the brow area for a refreshed appearance.
• Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: Smooth deep wrinkles around the mouth.

Benefits of PDO Threads

PDO Threads are a popular alternative to surgical facelifts because they deliver significant results with far less downtime. Here’s why patients love PDO Threads:

• Non-surgical: No incisions, scarring, or general anesthesia required.
• Collagen stimulation: Boosts your skin's natural ability to rebuild and firm itself.
• Minimal downtime: Most patients return to their normal activities within 24–48 hours.
• Natural-looking results: The threads lift and tighten without an "overdone" appearance.
• Long-lasting effects: Results improve over time as collagen production increases and can last up to 18 months.
