How PDO Threads Work

PDO Threads deliver both instant results and gradual skin renewal through a simple, minimally invasive process:

Insertion: Fine medical-grade threads are gently inserted under the skin using a thin needle.
Immediate Lift: Threads anchor sagging skin, providing an instant, natural-looking lift.
Collagen Stimulation: As threads dissolve naturally over the next several months, they stimulate the body’s collagen and elastin production.
Gradual Results: Skin continues to improve in firmness, elasticity, and smoothness for up to 12–18 months.
