PDO THREADS

Important Info

About PDO Threads

PDO (polydioaxanone) threads are resorbable surgical sutures composed of biodegradable polymers. The treatment is minimally invasive and lifting threads produce instant results. While some immediate improvement is seen with smooth threads, they also produce gradual changes over time, as the threads stimulate your own collagen production and provide a framework upon which that collagen will continue to build. Polydioxanone (PDO) sutures are used for biomedical applications, particularly in cardiothoracic surgery because it is fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 4 to 6 months and doesn’t create any scar tissue. The foreign body stimulates collagen synthesis and the skin structure created will hold for 12 to 15 months.
