What is a PDO?

Polydioxanone (PDO) is a type of embedded threading where sutures are inserted underneath the skin to produce a smoothing and lifting effect. Although there are several types of threading, PDO is low cost and minimally invasive compared to alternative threading and facelift procedures. It also produces an immediate result with little to no recovery and is the longest lasting in comparison to PLA and PCA threads. PDO threading procedures have existed since the 80s and are still a popular choice in todays beauty industry. They are a great option if you want to rejuvenate your aged skin without too dramatic of a transformation. 

The PDO procedure is quick and does not require general anesthesia or a scalpel. It can be performed on the cheeks, jaws, neck, around the eyes, and additional surrounding areas. PDO can also be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as fillers, because it does not result in dramatic results but rather a natural youthful appearance. 

The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia, which numbs the area being treated. The procedure often goes as follows:

 • The area on your face where the thread lift will be performed will be disinfected with alcohol. Then, a needle will be used to apply a local anesthetic under your skin to minimize any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

 • A small incision we be made in the skin using another needle and a device called a cannula will be inserted into the hole. The cannula is a thin tube-like device that guides the dissolvable threads into the desired position under the skin.

 • Once in place, the threads will be anchored by applying pressure or using small hooks to hold them in place. The threads will be gently pulled on to lift and reposition the skin to achieve the desired result. Once the desired lift is achieved, the threads are cut and secured in place.
