What ARE PDO THREADS?

A PDO thread lift is a quick, non-invasive treatment that offers natural looking results. The synthetic threads are absorbable surgical sutures composed of polydioxanone (PDO). These threads are held inside a tiny cylinder that is inserted into the skin. As it is removed, the PDO thread pulls the loose tissue to lift the skin and make it tighter. This treatment creates an instant lift and the natural inflammatory response will encourage collagen production over the months that follow.

Also known as the 'fox eye lift', this treatment gives a subtle, upwards slant to the outer brow area. By lifting and elongating the upper eyelid a beautiful almond shaped eye results.

This procedure can also be used as a solution for other eye concerns, including:

  • a heavy brow

  • asymmetry (only one brow is lifted)

  • hooded lids (heavy eyelids that often develop with age)
