How Do PDO Threads Work?
A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that involves barbed threads passing through the surface of your skin to lift the tissue. The barbs on the threads act to suspend the tissue which overall lifts areas of the face including cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Achieving the lifted look with threads involves two processes. First, they contract fat tissue where they are placed, resulting in instant skin tightening. Then, after being placed, they begin to absorb and trigger the body to produce collagen which maintains the lifting outcome over the first 6 months. They also trigger a boost in your natural collagen production that can improve your skin’s firmness for up to 2 years!

Types of PDO Threads
- Mono threads are smooth threads without barbs. Many of these thread types are placed into the face in a mesh-like fashion for skin tightening effect. Skin tightening usually improves after collagen starts forming around the threads.
- Screw threads can come in the form of one or two threads intertwined together around the inserting needle. Screw thread has a great effect on giving volume effect on sunken area of the skin. Screw threads are usually used for general face-lifting.
- Cog threads are essentially mono threads with barbs to hook to the underside of the skin. The barbs form a support structure that lifts the sagging tissue. Unlike mono threads, cog threads do not need anchoring points. Collagen formation can also occur around the threads and their barbs. Cog threads are most effective for jawline lifting and slimming.
