PDO threads are made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible polymer which undergoes complete hydrolytic degradation. The barbs, molded along the thread, anchor into the superficial dynamic fat pads under the skin, to reposition tissue for a non-surgical lift. This can aid in reducing the signs of ageing.
