What do PDO threads do?
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed under the skin. Depending on the type, they either provide gentle lift by repositioning tissue, or stimulate collagen along the line of the thread. The material absorbs over months; the collagen response is what persists.
Threads occupy a middle ground between injectables and surgery, and they are frequently oversold as an alternative to a facelift. They are not that, and anybody promising it is setting you up to be disappointed.
What they can do is provide a degree of repositioning and a collagen response in the right candidate — which depends heavily on skin quality, tissue laxity and where you are starting from.
The honest version is that they suit some faces very well and others not at all, and telling the difference is what the consult is for.
