What Does a PDO Thread Look Like?
The polydioxanone protein is woven into what is a thin thread to create a PDO thread. Once it’s created, it will look a lot like human hair — at least in terms of the thickness. Some PDO threads will have barbs on them. These are basically little pieces that are attached to sections of the PDO thread that are meant to grab onto parts of your skin once inserted to help “lift” it up.
What is the Difference Between Smooth Threads and Lifting or Barbed Threads
Smooth threads are dissolvable sutures without barbs, while barbed threads are tasked with lifting skin and tissue, smooth threads have a different purpose — they stimulate the production of collagen.
