about
PDO or Polydioxanone is a flexible and degradable polymer which is most commonly used for dissolvable sutures. They are also often referred to as ‘floating threads’ as they are not anchored like a traditional thread lift. Threads are introduced sub dermally into the skin via a micro needle. The needle is then withdrawn leaving the thread positioned. This in turn stimulates a collagen & elastin response which supports the skin, improves the structure of the face and can lift the treated areas.
