What Is PDO Glow?

PDO Glow is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that infuses the skin with tiny, absorbable PDO (polydioxanone) threads suspended in a specialized serum. These threads are made from the same safe, biodegradable material used in medical sutures and gradually dissolve while stimulating natural collagen and elastin production.

Unlike traditional PDO thread lifts that lift and reposition tissue, PDO Glow focuses on revitalizing the skin’s surface. It targets concerns like dullness, fine lines, enlarged pores, and rough texture, leaving the skin smoother, brighter, and visibly healthier. The serum blend used during the procedure is rich in peptides, antioxidants, and hydrating agents, working synergistically with the threads to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out.

Benefits of PDO Glow

PDO Glow offers a comprehensive skin transformation that goes beyond what topical treatments can achieve. Patients love the natural, radiant results and minimal recovery time.

  • Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production: Encourages long-term improvement in skin firmness and elasticity.
  • Enhances Radiance: Improves circulation and rejuvenates the skin’s tone for a fresh, glowing complexion.
  • Refines Skin Texture: Smooths rough areas, softens fine lines, and tightens pores for a polished appearance.
  • Deeply Hydrates the Skin: Delivers moisture and nutrients to restore balance and luminosity.
  • Minimizes Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of early aging signs around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
  • Improves Skin Tone and Clarity: Helps fade discoloration and enhances overall evenness.
  • Little to No Downtime: Most patients return to daily activities immediately after treatment.

Whether you want to refresh tired skin, boost elasticity, or enhance the glow of your complexion, PDO Glow provides a powerful and natural-looking improvement.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PDO Glow?

PDO Glow in San Diego is suitable for individuals who want to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing invasive procedures. Ideal candidates are typically:

  • Experiencing dull, tired, or uneven skin tone
  • Concerned about early signs of aging, such as fine lines and mild laxity
  • Looking to improve skin texture, hydration, and glow
  • In good overall health with realistic expectations

PDO Glow can be performed on the face, neck, and even areas like the décolletage or hands. It’s safe for all skin types and tones, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a natural enhancement.

What to Expect During Your PDO Glow Treatment

A PDO Glow session is quick, comfortable, and minimally invasive. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Preparation – Your provider cleanses the treatment area and applies a topical numbing cream for comfort.
  • Application – Using a fine cannula, the provider gently introduces the PDO threads suspended in serum into the superficial layers of the skin. The process delivers the bioactive ingredients evenly while stimulating collagen.
  • Completion – The threads dissolve naturally over several weeks, while the serum continues to hydrate and nourish the skin.

Most treatments take 30–45 minutes, depending on the area. There’s minimal discomfort, and patients typically describe the sensation as a mild tingling or pressure.

Recovery and Results

One of the biggest advantages of PDO Glow is that it requires virtually no downtime. You may experience mild redness or slight swelling for a few hours, but these effects fade quickly. Makeup can usually be applied the next day.

Typical Timeline:

  • Immediately After Treatment: Skin looks hydrated and refreshed.
  • Within 1–2 Weeks: Collagen stimulation begins, improving firmness and tone.
  • After 4–6 Weeks: The full glow develops as threads dissolve and new collagen matures.

Results typically last between six and twelve months, depending on your skin type, age, and skincare routine. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year can prolong your youthful glow.

FAQ PDO Glow

How is PDO Glow different from a PDO thread lift?

PDO Glow focuses on improving skin texture and radiance rather than lifting tissue. It uses fine, serum-infused threads designed to rejuvenate the skin’s surface, not to reposition it.

Is PDO Glow painful?

Most patients find the treatment comfortable. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize any discomfort.

How soon will I see results?

You’ll notice an immediate glow after treatment, with continued improvement in skin firmness and texture over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

Can PDO Glow be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PDO Glow can be combined with microneedling, PRP therapy, or Morpheus8 for enhanced rejuvenation and collagen stimulation.

Is PDO Glow safe for all skin types?

Yes. PDO Glow is safe and effective for all skin tones and types, making it an excellent option for patients seeking universal rejuvenation.
