What is Pdo thread lift?
Pdo thread lift is also called non-surgical face lifting. It lifts and tightens the face by implanting absorbable sutures to rearrange sagging muscle tissue. The whole process usually takes you about 40 minutes.
In 2025, the materials commonly used in threads lifting include polydioxide (PDO), polycaprolactone (PCL), and poly L-lactic acid (PLLA). They can revitalize your skin and lift and tighten the skin.
Let’s take a look at what makes a PDO thread lift different from other aesthetic methods.
The difference between materials of Pdo threads.
Polydioxanone (PDO)
Tensile Strength: PDO has the strongest tensile strength , making it highly durable and suitable for lifting and supporting sagging skin.
Collagen Stimulation: It has a minimal effect on stimulating collagen production for us. Its primary function is to provide immediate structural support.
History: Doctors initially used PDO widely in surgical sutures due to its strength and biodegradability.
Polycaprolactone (PCL)
Tensile Strength: PCL is transparent and white color, with a stronger tensile force than poly-L-lactic acid(PLLA).
Collagen Stimulation: It has a little effect on stimulating collagen.
Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA)
Tensile Strength: PLLA is transparent and white, with a weak pulling force among these three materials.
Collagen Stimulation: PLLA is effective in stimulating collagen in skin tissues.
It serves as the main ingredient of the well-known Sculptra and Aesthefill.
Common features: Body can absorb them naturally within 6 months,they can not effect our health.
Why do I emphasize that they stimulate collagen in human tissues? Because loss of collagen is one of main of aging skin.
The pdo threads lifting can be divided three types:
- Pdo mono threads.Smooth sutures that can make your skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production.
- Pdo cog barbs.There are some babrs on the sutures that can lift and support your skin smoothly by the barbs like fishhooks or molding barbs
