A thread lift is one non-surgical procedure where there is polydioxanone threads (PDO) (= absorbable sutures with barbs) are used, for example, to give the face, neck or décolleté a tighter and more youthful appearance. below local anaesthesia specific threads are placed under the skin to pull up the different tissues. This gives a lifting, tightening and smoothing effect.
PDO wires are completely soluble. Depending on the thickness of the thread, it remains in the skin for between three and nine months. From the moment the thread is placed until the thread is dissolved, the skin produces the body's own collagen where the PDO thread is located. This ensures rejuvenation and strengthening of the skin.
