Created from Polydioxanone (PDO), our Sculpted threads share the same safety history as PDO threads, however, Sculpted threads have been created through a pressure molding process to create barbs on the surface of the threads. This unique production process forms a PDO thread with greater tensile and anchoring strength allowing practitioners to obtain superior lifting affects over the traditional 4-dimensional COG thread. Biodegradation of Sculpted threads occur through a process of hydrolysis over a time period of between 8 to 12 months while the aesthetic duration of threading results has been found to last between 18-24 months.
