Over the years, PDO (polydioxanone) has been used in a wide range of medical fields, from orthopedics and pediatric surgery to maxillofacial surgery. Nowadays it is successfully used in cosmetology for face rejuvenation, skin lifting and tightening.

PDO is a biodegradable synthetic polymer that the threads are made of, and this material gets more popular due to its safety. The procedure of insertion is quite simple, the results are stable, side effects are minor, and complication rate is very low.

PDO biodegradation occurs through a process of hydrolysis over a time period from 6 to 9 months, while the duration of the aesthetic result continues up to 12 months.
