PDO Threads

Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are special medical-grade threads made of protein. Research has confirmed that PDO stimulates neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen in the skin). It also stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid, both substances that are key to maintaining firm, youthful-looking skin. PDO threads have over a decade-long safety track record in surgery and wound closure, and have gained FDA approval.

PDO threads can be further divided into three categories:

• PDO mono threads. Smooth sutures that help rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production.

• PDO cog threads. These threads have barbs that latch into your skin like small fishhooks, to provide support and lift parts of your face.

• PDO screw threads. Made up of one or two intertwined threads, these are used to help restore volume to sunken parts of your skin. Other types of threads PLA and PCA threads are newer than PDO. They last longer in your body and tend to stimulate more collagen production.

PLA threads take about 12 months to be absorbed and PCA takes about 12 to 15 months.
