1. Material: PDO threads are made from a biodegradable polymer called polydioxanone, which has been used in medical sutures for many years. It is safe and fully absorbed by the body over time.​

 

2. Procedure: During a PDO thread lift, a trained medical professional inserts the threads into the skin using fine needles or cannulas. The threads are strategically placed to lift and support the skin, often in areas such as the face, neck, and jawline. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia.

​

3. Mechanism: Once inserted, the threads provide immediate lifting effects by physically supporting the skin. Over time, they stimulate the body's natural collagen production process, which helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity as the threads gradually dissolve.

​

4. Results: The results of a PDO thread lift can last for several months to a couple of years, depending on factors such as the type of threads used, the area treated, and the individual's skin condition. The procedure is often chosen for its minimal downtime and relatively low risk compared to traditional surgical facelifts.

​

5. Types of PDO Threads: There are different types of PDO threads, including mono, cog, and screw threads. Each type serves a different purpose, such as skin tightening, lifting, or volumizing, depending on the patient's needs.
