What it Is

PDO Smoothing Threads are a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to support the skin's natural structure and may help improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. PDO stands for polydioxanone, a biodegradable material commonly used in medical sutures. When inserted under the skin, these threads may promote collagen production, helping to enhance skin’s overall appearance.

How it Works

PDO Smoothing Threads are placed just beneath the skin’s surface using a fine needle. Once positioned, they act as a support structure that may help stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the threads, potentially resulting in smoother and firmer-looking skin.

  • Collagen Support: PDO threads may encourage collagen production, which can contribute to improved skin volume and elasticity.

  • Skin Texture Improvement: The treatment may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother-looking complexion.

Our skilled professionals will carefully place PDO threads to target specific areas of concern. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically involves little to no downtime. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days.
