If you’re considering anti-aging treatments to regain that youthful look in your face, you have likely come across PDO threads. This minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment is increasing in popularity, and for good reasons.
PDO thread treatments only require local numbing agents, take less than an hour to complete and have minimal downtime and recovery time. Best of all, they produce amazing results, addressing some of the most common aging concerns including sagging or drooping skin, lack of definition, and fine lines and wrinkles.
When searching for a provider to perform your PDO threads treatment, it’s always important to choose one who is experienced and reputable. You should also check if they use high-quality PDO threads, as that will ensure long-lasting and optimal results.
But, what makes a PDO thread high quality? We’ll take a closer look at the factors below.
High-quality threads are completely medical-grade and are absorbable by the body. Because of this, there is a very low risk of any adverse reactions, which is one of the biggest benefits of the treatment.

Safety
First and foremost, high-quality PDO threads will be safe to use. In the U.S., they are considered Class II medical devices by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
These Class II devices can only be considered FDA cleared, not fully FDA approved. Once they receive that FDA cleared label, though, you can rest assured they are safe to use.
Part of the safety comes not just from the material that is used to make the PDO threads but also whether it’s sterilized and how it’s packaged. This will ensure that the threads remain sterile from the production line through transportation and final usage at a cosmetic facility.
One of the big benefits of the PDO threads produced by V Soft Lift is that our product has been FDA approved with the cannula that it’s preloaded in. This reduces the risk for contamination, as the provider doesn’t have to take the PDO threads out of one package and the cannula out of another, and then insert it.
Each of our PDO threads are individually packaged after they’re sterilized with EO gas, eliminating exposure to the air and reducing the chance of contamination.
Material
The material itself obviously plays a big part in the quality of the thread. PDO threads are made from a synthetic material called polydioxanone.
High-quality threads are completely medical-grade and are absorbable by the body. Because of this, there is a very low risk of any adverse reactions, which is one of the biggest benefits of the treatment.
The material itself needs to be strong enough so that it can withstand tension when they’re being inserted and positioned in your face, and also to maintain the lifting effect you want without sagging or breaking.
Not only that, but the absorption period of the threads should be adequate so that the results last as long as possible. The longer the absorption period, the longer the results can last.
V Soft Lift’s PDO threads are made from the strongest medical-grade polydioxanone, and have a solid absorption period, with results lasting around 12 months for most people.
Results
The results are what patients tend to focus on the most, because that is the aspect of PDO threads that they will obviously notice — and it’s the reason they want to get the treatment in the first place.
In terms of the quality, the PDO threads should stimulate the production of collagen in the treatment area effectively. This is something that will happen naturally within the body once the threads are inserted.
High-quality PDO threads will stimulate sufficient collagen production, resulting in your skin being tighter, more elastic and youthful looking.
Ultimately, the results of a PDO threads treatment should look very natural. They shouldn’t create dramatic changes to your appearance, but rather promote a more natural-looking upgrade.
If the threads are of a high quality, they will produce this type of result, with no visible bumps or spots that would allow someone else to notice you had any treatment at all.
