PDO Lifting

PDO stands for “Polydioxanone”. Polydioxanone is a synthetic absorbable suture that has been used for over 4 decades in surgery. PDO Lifting threads provide a lifting effect that fillers alone cannot accomplish. In most instances, fillers are used to revolumize a patient’s face, and PDO threads are used to reduce laxity & create deeper collagen …

How it works:

 PDO Smooth threads do not have barbs. When placed properly- the single thread promotes natural collagen production from the body for long-lasting results. PDO threads generally take 4-6 months to biodegradation after insertion and its presence stimulates collagen production during that period. Results from this treatment may take up to 3 weeks or longer to be noticeable and may last up to 12-24 months.
