What Are PDO Threds?

PDO threading is a treatment involving the use of polydioxanone (PDO) surgical sutures that are inserted under the skin, providing smoothing and lifting effects in the face, neck, forehead and several other areas of the body.

How Do PDO
Threads Work?

PDO threads are inserted under the skin, providing the patient with immediate lift or volume. The threads dissolve naturally over the course of several months, synthesizing new collagen and elastin production in the treated area. The result is a non-surgical lift with little to no downtime, generally lasting 18-24 months. Most procedures take less than an hour.

Controlled Healing

PDO threads are fully absorbed over time. PDO threads promote the body’s “selective inflammatory response,” which is one method to achieve controlled healing. Many aesthetic procedures such as fractional lasers, chemical peels, and micro-needling allow the body to undergo controlled healing while repairing itself naturally creating new collagen and elastin.

Mesh or Lift

There are two types of PDO thread techniques used to achieve different results.

MESH WORK

PDO threads are inserted in a mesh work or hashtag pattern (vertically and horizontally) under the skin. This mesh work pattern serves as a foundation for new collagen and elastin production. This technique tightens the skin naturally over time, smoothing the area and providing noticeable volume where volume loss has been lost due to aging.

LIFTING

Barbed PDO threads are inserted under the skin to provide lift to the surrounding tissue, giving immediate results. Barb threads have the ability to immediately reposition excess skin and facial fat pads that begin to descend as a patient ages. This natural repositioning reduces the appearance of age markers and deep expression lines (nasolabial folds, marionettes, jowls) while restoring a youthful V shape to the face. Barb Po threads also promote the body’s production of collagen and elastin, which effectively maintains the lift. Once the threads have dissolved, results lasting generally 18-24 months.

Types

Our Cosmetic Thread selection provides the following likely aesthetic effects:

Mono (Smooth)

Threads for biostimulation of tissue and neocollagenesis. Monofilament threads, more commonly referred to as ‘Mono’ or ‘Smooth’ threads are completely smooth, hair-like threads, without barbs that are placed superficially under the skin. They produce a regenerative and firming effect that visibly improves skin quality.

Mono Threads are used to treat fine lines, large skin pores, scar tissue and skin crepiness.

Some practitioners may even refer to Mono threads as “Beauty Threads” as these free-floating threads may be used throughout the body for the beauty benefits of regenerative enhancement of soft tissue.

Screw (Twisted)

Threads to effectively fill the deficit of soft tissues. Screw or commonly known as ‘Twisted’ threads consist of one or more threads braided or wrapped around a needle in a spiral configuration. This special configuration adds volume to the areas where inserted and are also effective in stimulating neocollagenesis.

Used in similar fashion as Mono threads, Screw threads are also free-floating and can be used where one would like to create volume and structure. Deep wrinkles and areas in need of volumization.

Cog (Barbed)

Used in similar fashion as Mono threads, Screw threads are also free-floating and can be used where one would like to create volume and structure. Deep wrinkles and areas in need of volumization.

Sculpted (Molded Barbed)

These threads are created using a high-pressure molding process that creates barbs on the surface of the threads. The unique production process yields a thicker, stronger PDO thread with greater tensile strength and a tighter network of anchors than the traditional 4-dimensional COG thread. This enhanced network of anchors provide for greater movement of soft tissue in any direction and higher anchoring power. Sculpted threads produce greater lift, shaping and contouring of soft tissues.
