Scarring

PDO Threads work to improve skin texture by stimulating collagen production around scars, minimizing their appearance and creating a smoother, more even complexion.

Loss of Volume

By stimulating collagen production deep within the skin, PDO Threads help restore volume to areas like the mid-face, jawline, and brows. This creates subtle, natural contouring for a refreshed and balanced appearance.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

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 youthful appearance.

Skin Texture

PDO Threads improve skin texture by promoting collagen and elastin synthesis, smoothing roughness and enhancing overall skin quality for a radiant, healthy glow.

Skin Laxity

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.

Before Your Treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners

During Your Treatment

Consultation and Customization

Your provider will evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan.

Preparation
