What is PDO Thread Lift?
The PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a non-invasive treatment which lifts and tightens sagging skin tissue, using threads made of PDO. The threads are introduced into the deeper layers of the skin. Once introduced, the threads have 3 amazing effects on the skin:

Skin Tightening. By contracting fat tissue.
Collagen Stimulation. Which promotes cellular renewal, improves skin texture, fine lines and elasticity.
Instant Skin Lifting. PDO instant result
The lifted facial contour will remain for about 12-15 months after the procedure, due to the collagen stimulation effects.

Six months after the procedure PDO Threads will disappear because they are

absorbable. Your skin cells are stimulated to produce new collagen, and new

blood vessels to improve skin microcirculation. At the same time, The PDO

Threads cause the fat tissue to contract and produce the skin tightening effect.
