AuroThread manufactures and supplies three categories of absorbable lifting sutures for professional aesthetic clinics and distributors worldwide. Each thread material offers distinct product characteristics — from the 6-9 month collagen stimulation of PDO to the 18-24 month sustained regeneration of PLLA. Understanding the differences is essential for selecting the right thread for each target area and client need.
