PDO Threads
PDO Threads are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin while stimulating your body's natural collagen production. They can help improve skin laxity, restore support to areas of the face and neck, and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance with little downtime and long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are absorbable medical-grade sutures strategically placed beneath the skin to provide support, lifting, and collagen stimulation. As the threads dissolve naturally over time, they trigger the body's healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen, elastin, and connective tissue.
PDO Threads can be used to address mild to moderate skin laxity, improve facial contours, soften jowls, lift the cheeks and brows, define the jawline, and tighten areas such as the neck. They can also be combined with other treatments including biostimulators, lasers, skin boosters, Endolift, and Ultherapy to create a customized treatment plan.
Different types of threads are available depending on your goals. Lifting threads provide structural support and reposition tissue, while smooth or mono threads focus primarily on collagen stimulation and skin quality improvement.
Results are visible immediately after treatment, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen production increases. Most patients enjoy results that can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months depending on the type of threads used, treatment area, and individual factors.
At Lunabella Aesthetics, every thread treatment is customized to your anatomy, concerns, and desired outcome to achieve natural-looking results while maintaining facial harmony and balance.
