PDO, which stands for Polydioxanone, is a commonly used material in open heart surgeries to make sutures or fine threads that close up wounds. This material has been proven efficient and safe for many years. These threads are inserted into targeted areas under the skin to stimulate skin tissue, creating new tissue, fibroblasts, and collagen, which produces a tightening effect from the inside out.

Threads are inserted into the targeted area of the face. These threads attach to the skin tissue and are then pulled back to lift and smooth the face. The treated areas will become slightly raised almost immediately, resulting in the elimination of sagging and giving patients a lifted appearance.

The most popular areas for patients to have it done are the eyebrows, cheeks and jawline. It can also be used to lift the nose bridge, giving it a naturally elevated look.
