A PDO (polydioxanone) thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts sagging skin and stimulates collagen production using fine, absorbable threads. At Dr. Can Tokgöz clinic in Gaziantep, Turkey, PDO threads offer a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift.
How PDO Threads Work
Tiny PDO threads are placed under the skin via a fine needle. Once in position, they immediately lift the tissue and, over the following months, trigger collagen production around the threads. The threads dissolve naturally over six to nine months while collagen-supported lifting remains visible for over a year.
Treatment Areas
PDO thread lift is commonly used to lift the cheeks, jawline, brows, neck and nasolabial fold area. It is also effective for refining the jowls and improving overall skin texture.
Recovery & Results
The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Most patients experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve as collagen forms over the following weeks.
