PDO Threads

PDO threads are a non-surgical treatment designed to rejuvenate and tighten the skin.
These biodegradable threads stimulate collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin. Ideal for those looking to enhance their facial contours without invasive procedures, smooth PDO threads offer a subtle, natural-looking lift.

FAQ

How it Works

Smooth PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are ultra-fine, biodegradable sutures inserted into the dermal layer of the skin. Unlike lifting PDO threads, smooth threads do not lift but rather stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, elasticity, and firmness over time.
