PDO THREADS
Discover the power of non-invasive rejuvenation with PDO threads and give your skin youthfulness, elasticity, and natural lifting—without the scalpel.
What are pdo threads?
PDO thread lifting is a non-invasive method for facial lifting and rejuvenation that does not require surgery or downtime. It is an innovative technique that uses absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are also used in surgical procedures due to their safe and biocompatible composition.
Using special fine needles, the threads are inserted subcutaneously, where they reinforce the skin’s structure, stimulate collagen production, and provide natural lifting and tightening without the artificial feeling of “pulling.”
How do PDO threads work?
Unlike traditional lifting methods, PDO threads do not mechanically pull the skin, but instead activate the fibroblasts — the cells responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. Their gradual absorption by the body over 4–5 months leaves behind a strengthened and rejuvenated support network within the skin.
This specific technique improves elasticity, reduces sagging, and smooths wrinkles, resulting in a natural and long-lasting effect.
