PDO and Cog Threads

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads offer a safe, minimally invasive way to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and body. These bioabsorbable threads, widely used in surgical procedures, have gained popularity among patients looking for a more youthful appearance without surgery. There are two main types of PDO threads: Mono (PDO) and Cog threads, each with specific benefits for various skin concerns.

PDO Threads (Mono)

PDO threads are smooth, bioabsorbable threads ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity in the face or neck. Inserted through a fine needle, they form a mesh under the skin to support sagging tissue, improve skin texture and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The effects of PDO threads become gradually visible, offering tightening and rejuvenation that enhances skin quality.

Ideal Areas for PDO Threads:

• Face and neck
• Décolletage
• Areas with mild laxity needing texture improvement
• Inner arms
• Abdomen

Cog Threads

Cog threads are specially designed with barbs or hooks that anchor into the skin to lift and reposition it. They offer an immediate lifting effect, ideal for areas with more significant sagging. This minimally invasive treatment is particularly effective for redefining the jawline, lifting the midface and restoring the neck’s appearance.

Common Treatment Areas for Cog Threads:

• Cheeks
• Jawline and lower face
• Neck
• Nasolabial folds

Benefits

• Minimally invasive: No incisions are needed, meaning minimal downtime and fast recovery.
• Natural collagen stimulation: Both thread types promote collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity.
• Customizable: Threads can be applied alone or combined with other aesthetic treatments (e.g., fillers, Botox) for enhanced results.
• Long-Lasting: PDO thread results can last 9-12 months, while Cog threads can provide noticeable improvements for up to 2 years.

Combined treatments and safety

PDO and Cog threads can be combined with treatments like hyaluronic acid fillers, Botox or chemical peels to amplify results.
Since all threads used in our clinic are CE-certified, they ensure maximum safety and quality for medical use.

Results

The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes. Results are visible immediately, with gradual improvement over the following 3-6 months as collagen production continues.
Side effects are generally minimal, including mild swelling, redness or bruising, which resolve within days.

For a non-surgical solution to tighten, lift and rejuvenate, PDO and Cog threads offer a safe, effective treatment.
