PDO threads

PDO threads, also known as polydioxanone threads, are a type of medical-grade thread commonly used in various cosmetic procedures.

What Are the PDO Threads?

• Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are thin, biodegradable sutures made from a synthetic material.
• They have been used in surgical procedures since the 1980s due to their strength and safety profile.

How They Work

• During a thread lift procedure, PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin.
• These threads provide immediate lift and stimulate collagen production over time.
• Collagen growth gradually firms the tissue, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Applications

• PDO threads are commonly used for facial rejuvenation, especially in areas like the midface, lower face, jawline, and under the chin.
• Some providers also offer specialized thread lifts for the outer corner of the upper eyelid (cat eye or fox eye thread lift).
