PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are specialized medical-grade threads used in aesthetic and medical treatments to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. Originally developed for sutures in surgeries, PDO threads have gained popularity in non-surgical cosmetic procedures due to their safety, effectiveness, and natural results.
Key Characteristics of PDO Threads
1.Biodegradable and Absorbable
PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a material that the body naturally absorbs over time. Typically, the threads dissolve completely within 6–8 months, leaving behind improved collagen production and skin structure.
2.Stimulates Collagen Production
Once inserted, PDO threads stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This helps improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
3.Safe and Biocompatible
PDO has been used in medicine for decades, particularly in surgical sutures, due to its excellent biocompatibility. It does not cause adverse reactions and is safely metabolized into carbon dioxide and water.
Types of PDO Threads
1.Mono Threads: Smooth threads without barbs used for collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.
2.Barbed Threads: Threads with tiny barbs that provide a lifting effect by gripping and pulling sagging skin.
3.Screw Threads: Twisted threads designed to add volume and address fine lines or hollow areas.
4.MESH or Multi Threads: Multiple threads braided together to maximize collagen production and volumizing effects.
Applications of PDO Threads
PDO threads are versatile and can be used for a variety of aesthetic goals, including:
•Lifting: Sagging skin on the face, neck, and body.
•Smoothing: Reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
•Contouring: Enhancing facial features like the jawline, cheeks, or nose.
•Rejuvenating: Improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
Benefits of PDO Threads
•Non-surgical and minimally invasive.
•Quick procedure with minimal downtime.
•Natural-looking results that improve over time.
•Long-lasting effects, even after the threads dissolve.
PDO threads are a safe and effective way to achieve a youthful, lifted appearance without the need for surgery. For more information or to explore how PDO threads can meet your needs, feel free to reach out!
