What are PDO Threads, and Why Do People Love Them?

PDO threads are dissolvable sutures designed to instantly lift and tighten your skin in minutes. Not only does it provide an instant result, it also promotes collagen production and neovascularization to renew your skin at the cellular level. PDO threads are the less invasive option for tightening your skin. It’s like a face-lift without invasive surgery, meaning you can return to your daily routine as soon as possible. 

What are PDO threads made of?

PDO threads stand for polydioxanone, a synthetic material absorbed by the body. It is a type of surgical suture, like the one you get when you need stitches, so it is completely safe. 

How does it work?

When you get PDO threads, the skin is first cleaned and numbed. Next, we use a needle to create the hole where we will insert the cannula. A cannula with the thread is inserted into the skin, and the thread sticks to the skin. When it adheres to the skin, we lift the skin back. This results in a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. 

How long does it take?

One of the best things about PDO threads is that they only take about 15-30 minutes. There is no downtime besides possibly some swelling and/or bruising.
