PDO Thread Lift
A PDO Thread Lift is a procedure that uses dissolvable PDO lifting threads to lift the skin and tissues. The threads are made of Polydioxanone (PDO) a biodegradable suture, the same ones used in surgical procedures. PDO Threads not only lift the tissue but also induce collagen production resulting in a more youthful appearance with fewer lines and wrinkles.
The procedure is less invasive than facelift surgery and can be performed in 45 -60 minutes with no downtime.
