Thread Lift
PDO threads are trendy because they can provide:
Instant lifting – achieved mechanically
Cell renewal – through collagenesis it will reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve the texture, firmness and thickness of the skin

PDO thread is a durable synthetic bio-resorbable filament used in the medical field for more than 40 years. They are a suture of choice in cardiology, plastic surgery and gynaecology mainly because of its unparalleled safety record with its ability to dissolve, entirely after 7 to 8 months leaving no residue.
