PDO Threads

What are PDO Threads?

PDO or Polydioxanone is a flexible and degradable polymer which is most commonly used for dissolvable sutures. They are also often referred to as ‘floating threads’ as they are not anchored like a traditional thread lift.

PDO Threads is a minimally invasive non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that improves skin elasticity, skin tone and improves the minor appearance of fines lines, wrinkles and skin sagging. By inserting dissolvable sutures under the skin, the treatment stimulates natural collagen and elasticity production that can be used across a number of areas of the face and neck.

What to expect?
