PDO threads are flexible and durable sutures made of an absorbable polymer called polydioxanone.
During a minimally-invasive thread lift, they are placed beneath skin to lift, rejuvenate, and volumize tissue, without the risks, downtime, or permanency of a surgical facelift.
Continue reading to learn all about PDO threads, including how they work and what patients can expect should they decide to undergo a thread lift.
PDO threads are available in a number of different textures in order to tailor treatment to each patient’s needs and goals.
Mono threads are a singular strand of smooth material and great for subtle lifting and smoothing.
Cog threads have a barbed texture, which is designed to achieve a more dramatic lift and stimulate collagen production.
Screw threads are comprised of one-to-two intertwined sutures and are commonly used to add volume to the treatment area.
Thanks to its minimally-invasive nature, a PDO thread lift requires minimal recovery.
In fact, most patients are able to return to work in three days and resume normal activities within one week.
