PLLA & PDO THREADS
What it is:
PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) and PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are advanced, minimally invasive treatments designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate sagging skin. Ideal for clients seeking a non-surgical alternative to facelifts, these procedures are suitable for those experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or jawline and who desire natural-looking, long-lasting results.

FEATURES OF OUR
PLLA & PDO THREADS
Immediate Lifting
PDO threads create instant support and lift for sagging skin, providing a noticeable improvement right after the procedure. This makes them a popular choice for those looking to enhance their appearance quickly without undergoing surgery.
Collagen Stimulation
Both PDO and PLLA threads stimulate natural collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin over time. As the threads dissolve, they promote ongoing collagen production, leading to longer-lasting results that continue to improve even after the threads are fully absorbed.
Absorbable & Safe
Threads are biocompatible and naturally dissolve, minimizing long-term risks and eliminating the need for thread removal. This ensures a safe and worry-free experience, as the body naturally processes the threads without any adverse effects.
How Does
PLLA & PDO THREADS work?
During the treatment, fine threads made of either PDO or PLLA are gently inserted beneath the skin using a thin needle. PDO threads provide an immediate lifting effect and gradually dissolve over 4–6 months, stimulating collagen production as they are absorbed. PLLA threads work by promoting collagen synthesis over time, resulting in gradual volume restoration and improved skin texture. The procedure is performed in-office, typically takes less than an hour, and requires minimal downtime. Most clients can resume daily activities shortly after treatment.
A FEW BENEFITS TO
OUR PLLA & PDO THREADS

Long-Lasting Results
Collagen stimulation provides results that can last up to two years or more, ensuring a sustained improvement in skin texture and firmness. The stimulation of collagen production creates results that can last well beyond the absorption of the threads, maximizing the return on investment.
