PDO Threads

Collagen Stimulating Game Changers

Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads are a sugar-based complex of biodegradable material that has been used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgeries for over thirty years. Use of PDO Threads for aesthetic treatments has been common practice in European and Asian cultures for several decades. In North America, PDO Threads are becoming more popular due to their collagen stimulating properties and natural results. Once placed into the skin, PDO Threads stimulate your fibroblasts cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is the key protein that gives your skin structure and elasticity. With age, the skin loses collagen and elastin resulting in a thin, sagging appearance.

Which PDO Thread is
right for you?

At Med 44, we offer only FDA approved premium brands of resorbable PDO and PLLA Threads including Euro Threads and MINT PDO Threads.

PDO Thread Lift

Nonsurgical Skin Lifting

A PDO Thread Lift is a procedure that uses longer dissolvable sutures to lift and reposition sagging skin. The threads contain Polydioxanone (PDO), which is slowly absorbed by the body over three to four months.

Collagen Boosting PDO & PLLA Threads

Injectable Skin Enhancers

Collagen Boosting Threads are fine, small dissolvable threads that are inserted into the skin to stimulate collagen and hydration in key areas of the face and body. Many patients elect to use PDO Lifting Threads to improve smile lines and jowls, and smaller Collagen Boosting Threads for creepy skin in the tear troughs, crow’s feet, corners of the mouth, and lip lines.

Preparing For Your
PDO Thread Appointment

While all of our services are non-invasive, non-surgical outpatient treatments, some downtime can be expected.

  • We recommend scheduling one to two weeks prior to any social events.

  • We extensively use minimally invasive micro-cannula injection techniques for comfort, minimal bruising, swelling and downtime.

  • For most treatments, a topical or injectable lidocaine is used along with ice to numb the skin and aid in comfort and recovery.

  • Pro-Nox is available in-office to aid in reducing anxiety while promoting relaxation and comfort during your treatment. Patients are safe to drive 10 minutes post procedure as Pro-Nox is a low dose, short acting blend of nitrous and oxygen.

  • We additionally offer CBD sublingual drops to aid in calmness and comfort during your treatment.

  • Both Topical Arnica and oral Arnica tablets are known to reduce the occurrence of swelling and bruising post treatment.

  • Patients taking blood thinners, daily aspirin, fish oils, turmeric, ginseng, garlic, gingko biloba, and other anti-inflammatory supplements may have a higher incidence of post injection bruising.  Do not stop any prescribed blood thinners or anticoagulants without the consult of your primary care provider. We always advise our patients to check with their primary care provider, and any other treating physicians prior to undergoing elective cosmetic and medical aesthetic treatments. Smoking and Alcohol will increase a patient’s chance of bruising.
