What Is PDO Threads ?

PDO Threads (Polydioxanone threads) are medical-grade, absorbable sutures used in non-surgical aesthetic procedures to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. Inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle, PDO threads create an instant lifting effect while stimulating collagen and elastin production over time.

The PDO Threads Advantages

  • Non-surgical lift with no general anesthesia or incisions

  • Instant visible tightening and contouring of the skin

  • Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production

  • Improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity over time

  • Minimally invasive with short recovery time

PDO Threads Treatment:

01

Consultation

During your consultation, the practitioner will assess your skin condition, facial structure, and areas of concern to determine if PDO threads are the right option. You’ll discuss your goals, the type of threads to be used (lifting, smooth, or volumizing), and the expected outcomes.

02

Preparation

Before the procedure, avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and retinoids for a few days. Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face on the day of treatment.

03

Procedure

The treatment area is cleaned and numbed using a local anesthetic. Using a fine needle or cannula, PDO threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin. These threads anchor and lift sagging tissue while triggering collagen production. The process typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

04

Recovery

Mild swelling, bruising, or tightness may occur but usually resolves within a few days. You can resume most daily activities within 24–48 hours, though intense exercise or facial manipulation should be avoided for a week. Results will continue to improve over the next 4–8 weeks as collagen builds.

PDO Threads Aftercare

  • Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for at least 1 week

  • Refrain from strenuous activities and heavy facial movements for 5–7 days

  • Sleep on your back with your head elevated to minimize swelling

  • Avoid facial treatments, dental visits, or makeup for at least 24–48 hours

  • Use gentle skincare and avoid retinoids, acids, or exfoliants for 5–7 days
