What PDO is

Polydioxanone is a biocompatible, absorbable polymer used for decades in surgical sutures. In aesthetic medicine, PDO threads are inserted under the skin, where the body gradually breaks them down. During this process, a mild healing response may stimulate new collagen around the thread path.

Mono, screw and cog PDO threads

  • Mono threads: smooth, fine threads placed in a mesh pattern to support skin firmness and texture rather than lift.
  • Screw threads: twisted threads that may add a little more volume and support in hollow or crepey areas.
  • Cog (barbed) threads: threads with tiny barbs that hold soft tissue, used for visible lifting of cheeks, jowls and jawline. Mint threads are one example.

PDO vs. PCL threads

PDO dissolves faster than PCL threads , so its effect is generally shorter, but it has a long track record and versatile thread styles. PCL is designed for slower absorption and longer collagen support. The physician recommends a material based on your skin, goals and budget. For an overview see thread lift .

Combining PDO threads

PDO threads are often combined with energy-based lifting such as HIFU , or with skin boosters for surface quality. All thread options are on the Thread Lifting hub .

Aftercare

Avoid facial massage, wide yawning, dental work, saunas and strenuous exercise for about two weeks. Sleep on your back for the first few nights where possible.

PDO Thread Lift FAQ

  • What are PDO threads made of?

    PDO threads are made of polydioxanone, an absorbable material used for many years in surgical sutures. The body gradually breaks it down, typically over about 6–8 months.

  • What is the difference between mono and cog PDO threads?

    Mono PDO threads are smooth and mainly support skin firmness and texture. Cog PDO threads have small barbs that hold soft tissue, allowing a visible lift of the cheeks, jowls or jawline.

  • How long do PDO thread lift results last?

    PDO thread lift results often last around 6–12 months, varying with the number and type of threads, the area and individual skin. Collagen formed during absorption may help support the skin after the threads dissolve.

    PDO thread lifting is priced after consultation, as the cost depends on thread type, number and treatment area. The plan and price are explained before treatment.
