Abstract

Advances in cosmetology and aesthetic medicine techniques led to the most common and effective technique for facial rejuvenation, i.e., facial lifting using polydioxanone (PDO) suture threads. Therefore, this study aims to describe the main characteristics, methods, and facial rejuvenation outcomes of the facial lifting technique using PDO threads. The study followed an integrative literature review design, and data was collected from two electronic libraries: Virtual Health Library (BVS) and PubMed (United States National Library of Medicine). The articles selected were published between 2019 and 2024. The database search, per the defined descriptors, initially identified 53 articles, of which 44 from the VHL database and 9 from the PubMed database, for evaluation in the screening stage. After the article screening process, observing the pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7 articles compatible with the research topic were selected. The study demonstrated that the application of polydioxanone threads is effective in facial rejuvenation and, despite a relatively low complication rate, the procedure can be combined with other aesthetic procedures to enhance its effects.

Keywords
