SecsEmpire Medical Training's PDO Threads Level I is a foundational, CME-accredited certification program that introduces healthcare professionals to the science and clinical application of polydioxanone (PDO) thread treatments for non-surgical skin rejuvenation and mild-to-moderate tissue lifting. This entry-level course is the ideal starting point for practitioners new to thread procedures, covering PDO thread types, biocompatibility science, facial anatomy for thread placement, smooth thread skin tightening techniques, and introductory barbed thread applications.
Level I focuses on building a solid foundation in thread selection, insertion technique, and treatment planning that prepares you to offer smooth thread skin rejuvenation and basic lifting procedures with confidence. The curriculum emphasizes the science of how PDO threads stimulate collagen production, the anatomical knowledge critical for safe thread placement, and the hands-on skills developed through supervised live patient training.
PDO thread procedures represent one of the fastest-growing service categories in aesthetic medicine, offering patients visible skin tightening and rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Level I training provides the essential skills to begin offering thread treatments while establishing the foundation for progression to Level II and Level III advanced techniques.

PDO Threads Level I is Empire Medical Training's foundational course in polydioxanone thread procedures. It teaches the science, anatomy, and hands-on techniques needed to perform smooth thread skin rejuvenation and basic lifting procedures. Level I is the ideal starting point for practitioners who are new to thread treatments and want to build a strong clinical foundation.
No, Level I is specifically designed for practitioners who are new to PDO thread procedures. You should be a licensed healthcare professional with basic knowledge of facial anatomy and ideally some experience with injectable procedures, but no prior thread experience is required. The course builds your skills from the ground up.
Smooth mono threads are placed beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality and tightness. Barbed threads have small barbs or cogs that grip tissue and physically lift it to a higher position. Level I covers both types, with emphasis on smooth thread mastery and introduction to basic barbed techniques.
Level I techniques produce visible skin tightening, texture improvement, and mild-to-moderate lifting. Smooth thread treatments are excellent for jawline definition, cheek skin quality, and neck tightening. Basic barbed threads provide noticeable mid-face lifting. These are highly marketable procedures that patients value for their natural results and minimal downtime.
Yes, Level I prepares you for Level II (intermediate lifting techniques and combination protocols) and Level III (advanced multi-directional lifting and complex cases). Many practitioners complete Level I and begin offering basic thread services while progressing through the advanced levels to expand their capabilities.
Yes, Empire Medical Training's PDO Threads Level I is fully CME/CE accredited. You receive certification documenting your foundational training in PDO thread procedures along with earned CME/CE credits for license renewal and professional development.
