What Are PDO Threads?

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue. At Alchemy Beauty in Austin, PDO thread treatments are performed by Cheri Rozycki, CRNA, APRN — a board-certified nurse anesthetist with advanced training in facial anatomy and minimally invasive lifting techniques.

PDO threads are FDA-cleared and made from polydioxanone, a material safely used in medical sutures for decades.

Undeniable Results

How PDO Threads Work

Once placed beneath the skin, PDO threads provide an immediate mechanical lift by physically repositioning tissue. Simultaneously, the threads trigger a controlled healing response that stimulates collagen and elastin production in the surrounding tissue.

As the threads dissolve naturally over 4–6 months, the newly formed collagen remains — leaving skin firmer, tighter, and better supported. Results typically last 12–18 months.
