PDO Threads

What Are PDO THREADS?

PDO threads are one of the latest options available to help stimulate collagen production. PDO threads, stands for polydioxanone thread, a synthetic absorbable surgical suture, proven to be one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body.

Benefits of PDO Threads

PDO threads can effectively:

  • Improve the quality of the skin.
  • Redefine the contour of the face.
  • Reduce roundness.
  • Reduce wrinkles.
  • Lift sagging skin in the cheeks, jowls, and neck.
  • Enhance the volume of the lips.
  • Stimulate collagen production.

PDO Thread Treatment

PDO Threads

Local anesthetic is gently injected into the entry points for the threads. The PDO threads are introduced using a delicate needle or a fine microcannula. You will be able to resume everyday activities in a couple of days. Great results can be also achieved by combining PDO threads with dermal fillers or neuromodulators. Treatment time can vary between 20 – 60 minutes depending on the area that is being treated.

PDO Thread Treatment Results

PDO Threads help redefine facial contour and induce collagen production. Stimulation reaches full effect in about 3 months after treatment, once collagen has naturally formed around the thread. A recent study by The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery showed that the thread is safely absorbed within 4-6 months, and by month 7, the collagen present in the treated area increases by 100%. Results may last between 8-14 months.
