PDO Threads
Polydioxanone thread lifts (PDO Threads) are designed to address a range of skin concerns - from improving the appearance of sagging skin, to improving skin elasticity, texture, fine lines and volume.
PDO thread lifts use a small needle to carefully insert fine, absorbable threads into the skin to help contour and rejuvenate. These threads cause micro-injuries, which remain implanted in the skin to promote intense collagen stimulation. The threads act as a scaffold for your body’s own natural collagen production. After six months, the threads dissolve into the body and leave new collagen in their place.
Benefits of PDO Threads include:
• Skin tightening and filling
• Improving skin thickness and quality
• Outlining lips for natural enhancement
• Rejuvenating skin
• Lifting jowls/cheeks/brows & marionette lines
PDO threads can be used to treat a multitude of areas. Each area will require a different amount of threads as a baseline, with specific problem areas requiring more threads. Treatments are quick, relatively pain-free and have minimal down-time.
Most clients see results in eight to 12 weeks, which last up to two years. We usually review clients six months after their treatment to determine results/next steps.
If you are considering these treatments, please schedule a consultation where we can discuss your treatment options & pricing.

After Care
Some clients may experience redness, swelling, bruising, pinprick marks or puckering at the suture site after treatment. Use a cold compress to help reduce swelling. Most side effects usually subside after two weeks.
The sutures may be sore for up to a week, but pain relief medication can help.
• Clients are advised to sleep on their back for the first five nights post-treatment, avoid make-up for the first week, and avoid facials, massages and extreme pressure for two weeks.
• Extreme exercise and alcohol should also be avoided immediately after treatment.
• Keeping skin moisturised and well-hydrated will also help the healing process.
