Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are thinner-than-hair medical grade absorbable threads that lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. These threads are implanted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using small needles or cannulas. Once the threads are inserted, the skin looks rejuvenated, filled and lifted. And the threads we use are FDA approved. PDO Max threads can provide many of the same benefits as a facelift and numerous other surgical procedures depending on how and where it’s applied.

A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that helps tighten a person’s skin. Without the need for big incisions, unlike most facelift procedures, PDO thread lifting uses small needles to insert fine threads under the skin. These PDO threads are especially designed to anchor the sagging skin and lift it upwards. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which further diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Since PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery time is quick. Most people who get this procedure done return to their normal activities after a day. Minor inflammation and bruising may occur in the first few days, but they usually resolve after two weeks.

If a PDO thread lifting procedure isn’t done by a professional like Inna Prokopenko, it may result in thread protrusion and puckering of the skin. These happen when the PDO threads aren’t properly implanted. This is why you should visit a true professional like Inna Prokopenko, who not only practice but also trains and gives lectures all over the world on safe use of PDO threads.

The PDO threads dissolve after six to nine months, but their effects can last up to two years, thanks to the production of collagen.
