What is PDO Threading?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threading is an innovative, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that provides lifting, rejuvenation, and volume restoration without surgery. PDO threads are medical-grade sutures made from a biocompatible material that has been safely used in surgery for decades. These threads are strategically placed under the skin to lift sagging tissue, fill depressed areas, and stimulate natural collagen production.
At IV Beauty Bar, our experienced Nurse Practitioner Christine brings her extensive medical expertise to deliver safe, effective PDO threading treatments in a comfortable, professional environment.
How Does PDO Threading Work?
During the procedure, ultra-fine PDO threads are inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using specialized cannulas or needles. The threads work in two ways:
1. **Immediate Lift and Fill**: The threads physically lift and reposition sagging skin and tissue while filling in depressed areas, wrinkles, and fine lines
2. **Long-term Rejuvenation**: Over time, the threads stimulate your body's natural collagen production, improving skin texture, firmness, and elasticity
The threads naturally dissolve over 6-8 months, but the collagen stimulation effects continue for 18-24 months, providing lasting results.
