What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable medical sutures that have been safely used in medicine for many years. In aesthetic treatments, PDO threads are placed beneath the skin to help support tissue structure and stimulate the body’s natural collagen response.
PDO thread treatments are minimally invasive and performed by trained medical professionals in a clinical setting.
What PDO Threads Are Used For
PDO threads may be used to help:
- Improve skin firmness and texture
- Support mild lifting of targeted areas
- Enhance facial structure and definition
- Address early signs of skin laxity
- Support collagen stimulation over time
Results are gradual and vary by individual.
The Treatment Experience
- Consultation to review goals, anatomy, and treatment areas
- Threads are carefully placed using fine needles or cannulas
- Treatment typically takes 45–60 minutes
- Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur and usually resolves within days
- Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment
Results & Longevity
PDO threads dissolve naturally over time. While the threads themselves are temporary, the collagen response they stimulate may continue beyond thread absorption.
Results develop gradually and are not permanent. Individual outcomes vary, and no specific degree of lift or duration is guaranteed.
Safety & Medical Oversight
PDO thread treatments are medical procedures and must be performed by qualified providers. All risks, benefits, and alternatives are reviewed prior to treatment.
Possible side effects may include:
- Temporary swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Tightness
More serious complications are uncommon but discussed during consultation.
