Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are thinner-than-hair medical grade absorbable threads that lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. These threads are implanted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using small needles or cannulas. Once the threads are inserted, the skin looks rejuvenated, filled and lifted.
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that helps tighten a person’s skin. Without the need for big incisions, unlike most facelift procedures, PDO thread lifting uses small needles to insert fine threads under the skin. These PDO threads are especially designed to anchor the sagging skin and lift it upwards. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which further diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The PDO threads dissolve after six to nine months, but their effects can last up to two years, thanks to the production of collagen.
Production of collagen starts to decline in our mid-to-late 20s and by early 30s, we may start to lose 1% per year after that. However, PDO threads can be beneficial for any age group wanting to reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, and more.
