What Are PDO Threads? The Non-Surgical Facelift Pasadena Trusts

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are medical-grade, biocompatible sutures thinner than hair. Inserted beneath the skin with a cannula, they provide an immediate mechanical lift while stimulating neocollagenesis, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production for long-term skin tightening and rejuvenation.

At SkinFX Medical Spa, our certified master injectors - Anjela Maleki, BSN, RN and Jason Trujillo, MSN, FNP - use smooth PDO threads for natural-looking, non-surgical results.
