The PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift and Smoothing uses bio absorbable surgical sutures placed into the subdermal layer of the skin to initiate collagen production. The procedure can result in increased firmness and elasticity of the skin in the treated area. The PDO lift procedure is effective in most cases, however, the benefits of the procedure are strictly individual. Although PDO lift may not correct all of the facial/body laxity, it has become a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelifts for patients who are not ready to undergo a surgical procedure.
