What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are medical-grade, biodegradable sutures inserted under the skin using fine needles to lift and support sagging tissue. Once placed, they create an internal scaffolding that gently elevates skin, refines contours, and stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother results over time.s.
Why Choose PDO Threads?

✔️ Immediate and progressive results – see enhancement right away, with continued collagen-boosted improvement
✔️ Minimal downtime – most clients return to daily activities quickly
✔️ Natural-looking rejuvenation – subtle, refined contouring that enhances your features
✔️ Customizable – targeted treatment for areas like cheeks, jawline, neck, brows, and more
How do PDO Treads Work?
Using precise techniques, our experienced injectors place dissolvable threads beneath the skin to lift sagging areas and stimulate collagen, the protein that supports skin structure, elasticity, and vibrancy. The PDO material naturally dissolves over time, while the collagen support it stimulates can continue to benefit skin for many months.
