Threads are absorbable sutures made out of PDO (Polydioxanone). This is the same material of suture used to perform cardiothoracic surgery. The PDO sutures’ special shapes help to lift sagging skin and to build collagen. Although they can be used anywhere on the face or body, one of the best treatment areas is the lower face to correct mild to moderate jowls.

More About Threads
PDO Threads are FDA-approved, and can be used anywhere on the face or body to create a more youthful look. PDO has long been used in cardiothoracic surgery, and is known to be safe. They do not leave any scar tissue and are absorbed naturally by the body over time.
Barbed threads uses a barbed suture to hook the skin and gently pull it up into a better position for a more youthful look. Smooth threads are placed in the skin to help naturally stimulate the body to build more collagen and to create a firmer appearance of the skin in the treated area. Twist threads are used to create more volume in wrinkles or folds.
Combinations of Threads can be used to customize treatments to an individual’s needs. Side effects tend to be minimal, and include the possibility of minor swelling and bruising. Rarely a patient may experience irregularity of the skin, but this can be easily corrected. Results tend to last one to one and a half years.
