What Are PDO Threads?
PDO Threads, also known as Polydioxanone Threads, are dissolvable medical-grade threads that have been used safely in medicine for many years.
​
PDO Threads are an advanced treatment designed to support collagen production and stimulate the skin's natural regenerative processes. By encouraging the body to produce new collagen over time, PDO Threads may help improve skin quality, support facial contours and promote a firmer, more refreshed appearance.
​
Once placed beneath the skin, the threads stimulate the body's natural collagen production while providing support to the surrounding tissue. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve while the collagen stimulation continues, helping to improve skin quality and overall skin firmness.
​
PDO Threads may be used as part of a personalised treatment plan to support facial rejuvenation and skin quality concerns.
