PDO Threads
PDO Threads
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are a type of non-surgical aesthetic treatment, often referred to as a "non-surgical face lift", that involves inserting biodegradable threads under the skin to lift and tighten sagging skin. The threads are made of a material commonly used in medical sutures and dissolve over time, stimulating collagen production in the treated area.
