What is PDO?

PDO stands for polydioxanone. PDO has been proven to be safe and effective to use in medicine. It has previously been used for cardiovascular surgery as well as for sutures for over 10 years. PDO is dissolvable so there is no need to remove it after application.

When used for esthetic purposes, the threads are inserted in strategic locations on the face and neck. These injections cause micro-injuries that heal over time through natural processes. The healing process acts by stimulating the production of elastin, collagen, and fibrin to complete wound healing and this creates smooths out the skin and diminishes wrinkles. Another positive includes increased blood flow to the area. The blood flow brings nutrients to revitalize the skin leading to skin rejuvenation.
