PDO THREADS

PDO is an acronym for polydioxanone, which is a colourless, biodegradable polymer. They are made from a strong synthetic monofilament fibre that consists of one or two twisted fibre threads which dissolve in tissue after a certain time. The biomaterial is completely reabsorbed in 6 months and can be seen as a ‘foreign body reaction’ in the tissue in the vicinity of the implant. This is the exact reaction we want to see from aesthetic PDO threads, as collagen builds up around the thread and creates a lifting effect. This is caused by triggering the body to produce fibroblasts to create more collagen in the targeted areas.

The polydioxanone material is used in plastic surgery, gynaecology, cardiology and traumatology. PDO sutures have been used in medicine for over 30 years. PDO threads can be used to contour the face and treat wrinkles, improves skin quality, reduce pore size and reduce skin laxity. This effective treatment can be performed with minimum downtime.
