This non-surgicaltreatment uses absorbable threads to provide gentle structural support beneath the skin, which may help improve firmness and reduce the appearance of mild sagging.
PDO threads are designed to stimulate a natural healing response that may encourage collagen production over time, contributing to improved skin strength and elasticity.
Treatment may assist in defining facial contours and supporting a refreshed overall appearance.
Most people can resume normal activities soon aftertreatment, although mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness can occur and recovery experiences vary between individuals.
Results depend on factors such as skin type, age, and treatment plan. Your practitioner will discuss realistic outcomes and potential risks before proceeding.
Your safety and goals are our priority. Before any treatment, our practitioners assess your skin condition, medical history, and expectations to ensure this procedure is appropriate for you.

Fine lines or loss of facial definition.
