PDO Threads are synthetic hypodermic needles preloaded with a PDO absorbable suture. PDO Threads are inserted under the skin so they won't create any scar tissue. The best news? PDO Threads are fully absorbed by the body in 4 to 6 months, so you don't need to get them removed.

What makes PDO Threads so effective is the presence of tiny barbs that protrude along the entire length of thread. When the thread is pulled, the soft barbs latch onto the tissues and skin, to pull on the entire area.

Because no single point sustains the brunt of the pulling, the resulting lift is uniform and looks smooth and natural. The PDO Threads are very soft, so you do not feel them under your skin.

PDO threads work in two ways. First, physical notching on the thread’s surface can create an instant mechanical lifting action.

Secondly, their presence triggers the body’s own physiological responses to produce collagen. Once the threads are inserted under the skin, they induce a local inflammatory response as the body’s natural defense mechanisms kick in in response to a foreign object.

As the threads naturally dissolve, they stimulate the production of procollagen molecules as well as induce reactive fibrosis surrounding them, which maintains the lifting outcomes beyond their resorption.

No, the procedure is very comfortable and patients typically don’t feel any discomfort thanks to a local anesthetic. Compared to alternative face-lifting procedures like surgery, PDO Threads are a dream!

If you suffer from sagging skin and don’t want to use dermal fillers nor resort to surgical methods, you may be a prime candidate for PDO Threads.
