PDO Threads
Our PDO Threads treatment offers a rejuvenating solution to combat fine lines and sagging skin, restoring your natural radiance with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
PDO Mono Threads are small polydioxanone (PDO) threads injected under the skin, typically in the facial area, to create a face-lift-like result. These extremely thin and strong threads are inserted under the skin and into the targeted tissue, usually in the face or neck. Designed to trigger natural collagen production, these threads tighten the skin and eliminate wrinkles or sagging skin.

PDO Mono threads
How it works
PDO mono threads work by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation. These ultra-thin threads are made of polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material that has been used in various medical applications for years. During the procedure, a skilled practitioner strategically inserts these threads beneath the skin's surface in the areas of concern.
Once inserted, the PDO threads gently lift and tighten the skin, addressing sagging and fine lines. However, their true magic lies in the way they trigger the skin's natural healing response. As the body recognizes these threads as foreign objects, it stimulates the production of collagen, a vital protein responsible for maintaining skin's elasticity and strength.
Over time, the newly produced collagen leads to firmer, smoother skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and enhancing overall skin texture and tone. The results are gradual, natural, and long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy a more youthful and revitalized appearance. This non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation has become a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their natural beauty and combat the signs of aging.
