At Foxhall Dermatology in Washington, DC, we offer PDO Thread Lift treatments to help restore youthful definition and firmness—without surgery or extensive downtime. This innovative, minimally invasive procedure uses biodegradable PDO (polydioxanone) threads strategically placed beneath the skin to lift, contour, and stimulate collagen production for natural, long-lasting results.
PDO threads Q & A
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO Threads are medical-grade sutures made of polydioxanone, a material safely used in surgical procedures for decades. Once inserted just beneath the skin’s surface, these threads:
- Lift and tighten sagging facial tissue
- Stimulate collagen to improve skin elasticity and texture
- Enhance facial contours for a refreshed, youthful appearance
Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, while the skin continues to rebuild collagen, maintaining your rejuvenated look even after the threads have absorbed.
