PDO threads combined with dermal fillers are one of the most effective methods for lifting and tightening a patient's skin. The effects can last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. In addition, these threads can help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin and improve skin texture.

The training course is designed for licensed practitioners with cannula experience from dermal fillers to toxin techniques. Through thread lift training, you can learn effective ways to improve lower and mid-face laxity and offer safe and effective outcomes to your patients.

PDO threads training can assist you in advancing your aesthetic techniques. This hands-on education will guide you on how to assess your patient and personalize thread lift procedures for optimal aesthetic results.

What are PDO threads?

Polydioxanone, also known as PDO, is a transparent, biodegradable monofilament polymer made of synthetic material. They dissolve in six to eight months, but the results can last for up to one year as the threads help stimulate collagen production in the skin.

Thread lift procedures can treat any part of the face, like the eyebrows, cheeks, nasolabial folds, smile lines, marionette lines, jawline, crow’s feet, and neck.

The most common types of thread lifts are:

• PDO Smooth Threads: Smooth PDO threads are used throughout the face and body to encourage collagen production to rejuvenate your skin's surface. It is typically used to improve the skin texture of the mid-face, neck, and décolleté.
• PDO Barbed Threads: Barbed threads are used to help lift areas of your face by anchoring to the soft tissue and providing support. Once the thread is inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin, the barbs anchor onto the sagging tissue and are then maneuvered to contour and define your natural features.



It is common to use both types of PDO threads on patients for enhanced and synergistic results. However, depending on your patient's needs and desired results, you may use only one type.

The benefits of the PDO thread lift procedure include

• Natural looking results
• Helps to lift, tighten, volumize, and rejuvenate the skin
• Helps to brighten the skin tone
• Instant results
• Helps to improve the appearance of skin wrinkles for up to one year
• No incisions or surgery is required.
• Minimally invasive with minimal downtime.
