PDO threads were developed in Korea and quickly became popular worldwide. PDO lifting threads are made from absorbable PDO (polydioxanone).

As with all medical procedures, the treatment is preceded by a thorough medical consultation to verify indications and possible contraindications.

Over several months the threads gradually dissolve, stimulating collagen synthesis, fibroblasts and angiogenesis. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and brighter, wrinkles may become less visible, facial contour can lift, pores may appear reduced, and lax tissues can become strengthened—resulting in a lifting effect.

Indications for PDO thread treatment:

• under-eye bags – lower eyelid area,
• sagging cheeks,
• double chin,
• horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles,
• lowered outer brow edges,
• pronounced nasolabial fold,
• cheek-zygomatic groove,
• marionette fold,
• cheek skin fold,
• smoker’s lines.

Lifting threads stimulate the body to produce new collagen fibers (neocollagenesis), supporting local fiber renewal. Treated areas become more resilient and less prone to laxity. Increased connective-tissue cell activity supports elastin synthesis responsible for skin elasticity and resilience.
