Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads

What are Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads?

Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads are a non-surgical treatment used to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. The treatment involves the insertion of absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using small needles. These threads stimulate collagen production, resulting in a more youthful and revitalized appearance. Serving the Greater Toronto Area, Aesthetic Nurse Priscilla offers PDO Thread treatments as a safe and effective alternative to traditional face-lift surgery.

  • Treatment Areas

    Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads can be used to lift and tighten skin in various areas. Common treatment areas include the mid-face, jowls, and neck, where sagging skin is often most noticeable. The threads can also be used to lift and contour the eyebrows, reduce wrinkles around the eyes and lips, and even tighten loose skin on the body. 

  • Results

    Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads offer immediate lifting results, with continued improvement over time as the threads stimulate collagen production. The effects typically last up to 6 months or more, depending on individual factors and the area treated.

  • Side Effects

    Common side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the treatment site. These usually subside within a few days. As the threads are made from a biocompatible material that is absorbed by the body, the risk of serious side effects is minimal. Any severe or persistent side effects should be reported to our clinic immediately.
