What Are PDO Threads?
At Eclipse Medical Aesthetics, we use EuroThreads®, a type of PDO (polydioxanone) thread. PDO threads are dissolvable sutures that have been safely used in medicine for decades — commonly in heart and eye surgery — and are now FDA-cleared for use in aesthetics.
When placed just beneath the skin, EuroThreads® deliver a dual benefit:
- An immediate, subtle lift of sagging tissue.
- A longer-term improvement in firmness and elasticity as the body naturally produces more collagen around the threads.
The threads gradually dissolve over about 6–9 months, but the new collagen they stimulate can last up to 12 months, giving you results that are both natural and lasting.
What They Do & Benefits
EuroThreads® are an excellent non-surgical option for enhancing facial contours and tightening skin. Benefits may include:
- Instant Lift – A visible tightening effect right after placement.
- Collagen Stimulation – Ongoing collagen production helps skin look smoother, firmer, and more youthful over time.
- Natural Results – Enhancements look refreshed and authentic, not artificial or “overdone.”
- Versatility – Threads can treat cheeks, jawline, jowls, neck, brows, and other areas with mild to moderate laxity.
- Minimal Downtime – Most patients return to normal routines within a day or two.
Why EuroThreads®?
Not all PDO threads are created equal. EuroThreads® are among the most advanced options available, designed for superior strength, safety, and consistent outcomes. Their unique construction features tiny barbs that act almost like a gentle Velcro® effect, allowing the threads to anchor securely beneath the skin.
This anchoring creates an instant lifting effect while also triggering the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen for long-term support. The result is skin that looks lifted right away — and continues to firm and rejuvenate over the months that follow.
The Eclipse Difference
At Eclipse, PDO threads are not treated as a “quick fix.” Each treatment is part of a personalized plan designed to restore balance, harmony, and authenticity. Threads are placed with precision to provide immediate support and long-term regenerative benefits — always with safety and artistry at the forefront.
