PDO THREADS

PDO threads are fine medical-grade suture material made of polydioxanone; a dissolvable protein compound and a safe, non-invasive option for conventional facelifts.

THREAD SUB-TYPES

Barbed threads also have several subtypes, including:

  • Bilateral threads
  • Unilateral threads
  • Bi-directional threads
  • Uni-directional threads
  • Z-directional threads
  • Molding barbs
  • Cutting barbs

TYPES OF PDO THREADS

There are two primary types of PDO threads used to tighten, lift, and smooth areas of the face – floating non-barbed and barbed threads.

There are also subtypes of non-barbed threads – mono-filament and braided threads.
