PDO (Polydioxanone – an absorbable polymer) threads are another method of tightening and thickening your skin. They are a type of single PDO filament, is smooth and without barbs.
Matrix PDO Threads are inserted into the sub-dermal level, in a mesh-like pattern, to promote the creation of new collagen. The threads activate collagen synthesis which produces a gradual skin thickening, skin tightening, and rejuvenation effect.
They induce natural collagen production, which creates a tightening effect keeping natural look and facial structures. This effect lasts for 6-12 months.
