What are PDO threads?
PDO thread lifting is a minimally invasive aesthetic medicine technique that uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads to tighten your skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture and tone.
It is ideal for reducing sagging in areas such as the inner face, arms, legs, and abdomen, enhancing skin firmness and giving you a more youthful appearance with hydrated, revitalised skin.
What does the procedure involve?
The doctor inserts PDO threads into the skin using fine needles, following a pre-established pattern. The threads are then tightened and secured in place to create a lifting effect in different parts of your body.
There are various techniques for inserting PDO threads, but the most common is the "fan insertion" technique. In this approach, the threads are introduced into the skin in a fan shape, creating a support network that tightens the skin, stimulates collagen production, and improves skin hydration. This is one of the most common techniques in firming treatments.
