auto_awesomeWhat are PDO Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are absorbable surgical sutures that have been used in medicine for decades. In aesthetic medicine, they are placed under the skin with a fine needle to create a supportive mesh that lifts facial tissues and stimulates the natural production of collagen.
It is the perfect non-surgical alternative for patients looking for a real lifting effect, especially in the cheeks, brows, jawline, and neck.
auto_awesomeHow does it work?
The threads are inserted under the skin with local anesthesia at the entry points. The threads have small barbs or cones that anchor to the tissue and allow the skin to be pulled in the desired direction.
Once placed:
- Immediate lifting effect — the threads lift the tissues right away
- Collagen stimulation — the body responds by producing new fibers
- Gradual resorption — the threads dissolve naturally within 6-12 months
- Sustained result — the new collagen remains for up to 1-2 years
Types of threads available:
- Mono (smooth): for revitalization and collagen production
- Tornado (screw): for volume and intensive stimulation
- COG (barbed): for a true lifting effect
- Bidirectional cones: for maximum traction in cheeks and brows
