PDO THREADS
WHAT ARE PDO THREADS?
Sagging, thinning skin and deepening wrinkles are an inevitable sign of increasing age. If you aren’t thrilled about a softening jawline, pronounced smile lines, or sunken cheeks but aren’t interested in surgery, PDO threads offer a minimally invasive alternative that lifts, sculpts, and rejuvenates with little to no downtime.
Biodegradable sutures are inserted under the skin, anchoring sagging skin in place for a naturally youthful appearance. The PDO threads also stimulate collagen production and improve blood flow to the treated area, improving the skin’s tone and firmness. Whether you’re looking for a more subtle effect than a traditional facelift or want to avoid the risk, expense, and recovery of surgery, PDO threads can revitalize your look with instantly beautiful results.
