PDO Lifting Threads

PDO threads offer a non-surgical solution for lifting and tightening sagging skin. At Skinovatio Medical Spa in Parma, Ohio, we use PDO thread lifts to restore youthful contours without the downtime of surgery.

What are PDO Threads?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures that lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production. They’ve been used safely in surgery for decades and are now popular in aesthetic medicine for their lifting and rejuvenating effects.

How PDO Threads Work

Threads are inserted under the skin using thin needles. Barbed threads provide immediate lift by anchoring sagging tissue. Smooth threads stimulate collagen production for skin tightening. Over 4-6 months, threads dissolve while new collagen maintains results.

What to Expect
