Liquid PDO Renveau and Tendu are injectable treatments that use polydioxanone (PDO) threads or PDO-based liquid formulations to improve skin laxity, stimulate collagen production, and address cellulite. Both are minimally invasive options frequently chosen for tightening skin and improving texture in areas such as thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms. Below is a concise, professional overview of what each does, how they work, expected results, typical treatment areas, safety considerations, and aftercare.
What they are
Liquid PDO Renveau: A soluble PDO solution injected into the dermis and superficial subdermal layers. It acts as a stimulating agent to trigger collagenesis and tissue remodeling without leaving permanent threads.
PDO Tendu (Tendu technique): Often refers to a technique or product line employing PDO threads or a concentrated PDO injectable to create lifting, tightening, and fibrous septae remodeling; in context for cellulite, “Tendu” may describe targeted linear placement or tensioning to smooth dimples and reinforce connective tissue.
Mechanism of action
Collagen stimulation: PDO material induces a controlled inflammatory response that activates fibroblasts, leading to new collagen (types I and III) and elastin production over several weeks to months.
Fibrous septae remodeling: For cellulite, PDO can induce tightening of the septae and surrounding dermal matrix, reducing skin puckering and dimpling.
Neocollagenesis and angiogenesis: Improved dermal thickness and microcirculation contribute to better skin texture and tone.
Gradual resorption: PDO is biodegradable; the mechanical and biologic effects evolve over 8–12 weeks and can continue improving up to
