PDO Threads
A non-surgical solution for sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Lift, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin with PDO Threads.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution to lift sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production. PDO threads are thin, absorbable sutures that are strategically placed under the skin to create an immediate lifting effect. Over time, the threads encourage collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin with long-lasting results.
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Provides an immediate lift with continued improvement over time
- The threads dissolve naturally while the benefits last up to 1-2 years
How PDO Threads Transform Your Skin
PDO thread lifting works by inserting dissolvable threads under the skin, which act as a scaffold to lift and tighten sagging areas. The procedure triggers the body’s healing response, which results in increased collagen production—vital for skin elasticity and firmness. As the threads dissolve over the following months, the skin remains lifted and rejuvenated.
PDO Threads come in various types:
- Mono Threads: Smooth threads that focus on collagen stimulation and minor skin tightening.
- Cog Threads: Threads with tiny barbs that latch onto tissue, providing more dramatic lifting.
- Screw Threads: Spiral-shaped threads that add volume to sunken areas while lifting.
Benefits of PDO Threads
PDO thread lifting offers numerous benefits over traditional surgical procedures. The results are natural-looking, with little to no downtime, making this the perfect choice for those who want to avoid the long recovery times of a facelift.
- Non-Surgical: No incisions, minimal risk of scarring, and lower risk of complications.
- Quick Recovery: Most people can return to their daily activities within a few days.
- Immediate & Long-Lasting Results: You’ll notice some results immediately, with full effects becoming visible after 2-3 months as collagen production increases.
- Natural Collagen Boost: PDO threads stimulate the skin's own collagen for long-lasting improvements.
- Minimal Downtime: Swelling, tenderness, and bruising are minimal and resolve within a couple of weeks.
Are You a Good Candidate?
PDO threads are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for a subtle lift without surgery. Suitable candidates include those wanting to treat sagging cheeks, jowls, and other areas showing signs of ageing. Patients should have realistic expectations, understanding that PDO threads provide a natural, rejuvenated look rather than a dramatic transformation.
Your PDO Thread Lift Journey
The PDO thread procedure is straightforward and minimally invasive. A topical anaesthetic is applied to numb the treatment areas before the threads are gently inserted under the skin using fine needles.
Process Steps:
- Consultation: We start by discussing your goals and creating a tailored plan for treatment.
- Preparation: After cleansing and applying anaesthetic cream, the insertion points are mapped out.
- Thread Insertion: The threads are carefully inserted under the skin to create an immediate lift.
- Post-Treatment: You may experience some mild swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within 1-2 weeks.
