WhiteRose PDO Collagen Threads are professional dissolvable thread treatments designed to support skin firmness, collagen stimulation, contour, and non-surgical facial or body rejuvenation. At Blanqa Medspa, this treatment is provided by Bianca Camille Fong, APRN, FNP-BC and is customized to your facial structure, skin laxity, treatment area, and aesthetic goals.

PDO stands for polydioxanone, a dissolvable suture material commonly used in medical procedures. In aesthetic treatments, PDO threads are placed under the skin to help support collagen production, improve the appearance of skin texture, and provide structure or lift depending on the thread type used.

Common questions

What are PDO threads?
PDO Collagen threads are dissolvable threads placed under the skin to support collagen stimulation, skin firmness, and facial or body rejuvenation.

What is the difference between smooth threads and lifting threads?
Smooth threads are commonly used for collagen stimulation, fine lines, texture, and skin quality. Lifting or barbed threads are designed to provide more support, contour, and lift in areas with mild to moderate laxity.

What are screw or twist threads used for?
Screw or twist threads may be used in areas that need more soft support, collagen stimulation, or subtle structure, depending on provider assessment.

When will I see results?
Some patients may notice early support or tightening, while collagen-related improvement develops gradually over the following weeks to months.

Is there downtime?
Downtime varies depending on the thread type and treatment area. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, or dimpling may occur temporarily.

Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?
Yes, when appropriate. PDO Collagen threads may be combined with dermal fillers, wrinkle relaxers, microneedling, PDGF, or skin treatments as part of a larger facial balancing and rejuvenation plan.
