PDO Threads are a non-surgical treatment, used to restore the clients skin elasticity & volume without the use of dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments which some clients can be against the idea of. There is a wide range of threads available, therefore meaning you can offer a tailored treatment for the client depending on the desired result required.
