Treating Facial Scars using Polydioxanone Threads.

Traditional scar treatments, such as laser therapy, chemical peels, and surgery, are expensive and require long recovery times. Polydioxanone (PDO) threads offer a minimally invasive and cost-effective solution that enhances collagen production and skin texture. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PDO threads in the management of atrophic facial scars due to the lack of clinical research on this topic.

Treatment of Atrophic Facial Scars Using Polydioxanone Threads: A Case Series.
