PDO Threads are a non-surgical treatment designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. Using biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO) threads, this treatment stimulates collagen production to improve skin elasticity and firmness while providing an immediate lifting effect. Ideal for addressing sagging skin, fine lines, and loss of definition, PDO Threads are a minimally invasive option; many clients see natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Individual results vary.

Looking for a non-surgical approach to lifting the skin? PDO threads stimulate collagen production for continued improvement over time and provide an immediate lifting effect right after treatment.
Loss of collagen and skin elasticity contributes to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. PDO Threads provide an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production, helping to smooth and soften wrinkles over time for a naturally refreshed appearance.
By stimulating collagen, PDO Threads may improve the appearance of skin texture in areas of scarring. Individual results vary.
PDO Threads address sagging skin by lifting and supporting loose areas, such as the jawline, cheeks, or neck. Over time, increased collagen production enhances skin elasticity and firmness, giving you a rejuvenated, lifted look.
Loss of volume in the mid-face, temples and jawline is a common reason clients seek treatment. Your provider will explain how this treatment can help restore a balanced contour.
