PDO Threads
What are PDO Threads?
PDO Threads are made from polydioxanone, a material widely used in biomedical applications for its safety and effectiveness. These threads are naturally absorbed by the body within four to six months through hydrolysis, leaving no scar tissue behind. As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, creating a supportive structure that can last two to three years.
At our clinic, we offer MINT™ PDO Threads to tighten, lift, and add volume to the face and neck. The treatment begins with the application of a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort, followed by the precise placement of threads in targeted areas to achieve your desired results. This minimally invasive procedure provides a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance with long-lasting benefits

- Patients with blood clotting disorders
How It Works
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed under the skin to lift, tighten, and stimulate collagen production for a more youthful and contoured appearance.
Results typically last 12-18 months. The threads dissolve naturally over time, but the collagen they stimulate helps maintain the lifted effect longer.
PDO threads can lift and tighten areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, eyebrows, and even the body, such as the arms or abdomen.
Most clients experience minimal discomfort. A local anesthetic is used to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
Downtime is minimal. Some swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
Yes, PDO threads are FDA-approved and safe when performed by trained professionals. They are made of biocompatible materials that dissolve naturally in the body.
