What are PDO Threads?
What makes PDO Threads so effective is the unique composition of Polydioxanone, a biocompatible and biodegradable material that has been used in medical sutures for decades. This material is safe, non-toxic, and fully absorbable by your body.
When inserted into your skin, PDO Threads stimulate collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and restore a more youthful appearance.
How PDO Threads Work
To understand how PDO Threads work, imagine a mesh network of threads that provide support and structure to your skin. These threads are carefully inserted into your skin using a fine needle, where they stimulate collagen production and help to lift and tighten your skin.
The threads work by stimulating your body’s natural healing process, which in turn produces collagen and elastin. This results in improved skin texture, reduced sagging, and a more radiant appearance.
Plus, PDO Threads can be used to target specific areas of concern, such as the forehead, cheeks, and jawline, allowing for a customized treatment that addresses your unique needs and goals.
Types of PDO Threads (Lifting Threads, Smoothing Threads)
There are two main types of PDO Threads: Lifting Threads and Smoothing Threads. Lifting Threads are designed to provide a more dramatic lift and are often used to target areas with significant sagging or drooping. Smoothing Threads, on the other hand, are used to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Any area of your face or body can be treated with PDO Threads, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck, and décolletage.
| Type of Thread | Description |
| Lifting Threads | Provides a more dramatic lift, often used for areas with significant sagging or drooping |
| Smoothing Threads | Improves skin texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkles |
| Barbed Threads | Used for areas that require a more aggressive lift, such as the jawline or neck |
| Screw Threads | Used for areas that require a more subtle lift, such as the forehead or cheeks |
It’s crucial to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine the best type of PDO Thread for your individual needs and goals.
- Lifting Threads are ideal for areas with significant sagging or drooping
- Smoothing Threads are perfect for improving skin texture and reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Any area of your face or body can be treated with PDO Threads

Benefits of PDO Threads
Immediate Lifting Effect and Natural-Looking Results
Any concerns about sagging skin or facial asymmetry can be addressed with PDO Threads. This treatment provides an immediate lifting effect, giving your skin a more youthful and radiant appearance. The results are natural-looking, as the threads work in harmony with your skin’s natural tissues to create a subtle yet noticeable difference. You can expect to see an improvement in facial contours, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and a more defined jawline. PDO Threads are designed to stimulate collagen production, which helps to maintain the lifted appearance over time. This means you can enjoy long-lasting results without the need for frequent touch-ups or invasive surgeries.
Collagen Stimulation and Long-Lasting Effects
Collagen is the foundation of healthy, youthful-looking skin. As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. PDO Threads stimulate collagen production, which helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This means you can enjoy long-lasting results that continue to improve over time. Effectively, the threads work as a catalyst to stimulate collagen production, which leads to a more radiant and youthful appearance. As the threads dissolve, the collagen remains, providing a lasting impact on your skin’s texture and tone.
Minimally Invasive Procedure with Minimal Downtime
Invasive surgical procedures can be daunting, especially when it comes to facial rejuvenation. PDO Threads offer a minimally invasive alternative that requires minimal downtime. The treatment is quick, taking around 30-60 minutes to complete, and you can resume your normal activities shortly after. Minimally invasive procedures like PDO Threads reduce the risk of complications and scarring, making them an attractive option for those seeking a non-surgical facelift. You can expect some minor bruising or swelling, but these side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.

Who is a Good Candidate for PDO Threads?
Ideal Candidates for PDO Threads Treatment
One of the primary benefits of PDO Threads is their versatility. They can be used to address a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to sagging skin and loss of facial volume. If you’re looking for a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution to lift and tighten your skin, you might be an ideal candidate for PDO Threads. Typically, this includes individuals who:
Are experiencing mild to moderate signs of aging, such as facial sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. Have realistic expectations about the results and understand that PDO Threads are not a substitute for surgery. Are willing to commit to a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. Are in good overall health and do not have any underlying medical conditions that could affect the treatment.
Contraindications and Considerations
The key to a successful PDO Threads treatment is ensuring you’re a suitable candidate. While PDO Threads are generally safe, there are certain circumstances where they might not be the best option. The following may be contraindications or considerations:
The presence of certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders, skin infections, or autoimmune diseases. Pregnancy or breastfeeding, as the effects of PDO Threads on the fetus or baby are not yet fully understood. Recent facial surgery or trauma, as PDO Threads may interfere with the healing process. Unrealistic expectations or a history of keloid scarring.
Considerations should also be made for individuals with very thin or fragile skin, as PDO Threads may not be suitable for these skin types. It’s crucial to discuss your medical history, skin concerns, and expectations with your practitioner at AZ Laser Studio & Medspa to determine if PDO Threads are right for you.
What to Expect After PDO Threads Treatment
Immediate Aftercare Instructions
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or bending, as this can cause the threads to shift or become dislodged. Also, refrain from touching or massaging your face excessively, as this can lead to thread migration or inflammation. Stick to a gentle skincare routine, avoiding harsh products or exfoliants that can irritate your skin.
Potential Side Effects and How to Manage Them
Effects such as these typically resolve on their own within a few days to a week. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it’s vital to contact your practitioner at AZ Laser Studio & Medspa for guidance and support. In rare cases, more serious complications can occur, such as infection or thread migration, but these can be minimized by following proper aftercare instructions and attending follow-up appointments.
