PDO threads are a versatile solution for anti-aging and aesthetic treatments. They are used in two different ways to enhance the appearance of facial skin and reduce the signs of aging. The first way is thread-lifting, which uses barbed or molded PDO threads to lift sagging facial tissue and achieve a youthful appearance. The barbs on the sutures engage and anchor the tissue to its new location. This treatment is popular for the midface, lower face, neck, and brow area.

The second way is Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), which involves placing smooth, non-barbed PDO threads beneath aging or crepey skin. As the body breaks down the thread, collagen formation is stimulated, leading to an improvement in skin quality. The smooth threads are commonly inserted in a matrix pattern, also known as the mesh technique. This process results in neocollagenesis, fat reduction, tissue contracture, and an improved vascular environment. Studies have shown that results from CIT can persist for over a year.

PDO threads offer a non-invasive solution for both lifting and collagen induction, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking to enhance their appearance and reduce the signs of aging.
