Pdo Threads
What are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are an innovative, non-surgical treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin while stimulating collagen production for natural rejuvenation. These absorbable threads are inserted beneath the skin to provide support and lift, enhancing facial contours and creating a more youthful appearance. PDO Threads offer a subtle, natural-looking lift without the need for invasive surgery.
How Do PDO Threads Work?
PDO Threads are made of a biocompatible material that naturally dissolves over time. During the procedure, threads are carefully inserted under the skin in targeted areas. They provide an immediate lifting effect, and over the following weeks, the threads stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, improving skin texture, elasticity, and firmness. Results continue to improve as the threads dissolve, leaving behind a natural scaffold of collagen.
Who is a Candidate for PDO Threads?
PDO Threads are ideal for individuals who:
Experience mild to moderate skin laxity.
Want to lift and tighten specific areas of the face without surgery.
Seek natural, gradual results that enhance over time.
Are in good health and have realistic expectations for non-surgical results.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
1. Consultation: We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and determine if PDO Threads are the right option for you.
2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort.
3. Thread Insertion: The PDO Threads are carefully inserted into targeted areas with a fine needle or cannula. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of threads and treatment areas.
4. Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive aftercare instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities, facial massage, and excessive facial movement for the first few days.
Results are noticeable immediately after the procedure, with continued improvement as collagen production increases over the next several weeks. Full results typically develop within 2-3 months.
