PDO THREADS
About PDO Threads
If you are looking to lift and tighten your lower and upper face, you have come to the right place! PDO Threads are a minimally invasive treatment that offer an alternative to a surgical facelift. This treatment involves temporary sutures that help to tighten the skin, giving a “lifting” effect in the lower and upper face.
​
We offer PDO Threads as an alternative to a surgical facelift.
Thread lifts are a relatively new form of a non-surgical facelift. If your face has loosening or sagging skin and you want a tighter, more youthful look, this treatment may be suitable.
​
Some of the benefits of PDO Threads include:
-
Induces collagen production
-
Improves skin textures
-
Improves skin laxity
-
Reduces wrinkles
What are PDO Threads?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are a special medical grade thread that is thinner than hair and made of protein. Research has confirmed that PDO relaxes tendons and muscles, whilst a foreign body reaction improves the blood flow to the area stimulating neo Collagenesis (the production of new collagen in the skin). It also stimulates elastin and hyaluronic acid, both substances are key to maintaining firm, youthful-looking skin.
​
What is PDO Threads treatment like?
A tiny entry is made, and the threads are inserted via a cannula along the marked contours and are attached to the tissue. Once the threads are in place the body produces new collagen around the thread, which helps to create a subtle and natural-looking lifting effect.
​
Who can benefit from PDO Threads?
PDO thread face lifts are suitable for both men and women who are experiencing mild sagging, loose or excess skin. If you are looking for a minimally invasive, relatively comfortable treatment that can help restore your natural facial structure and tighten the skin then this could be a great solution.
·How long will I continue to see results from thread lift?
Thread facelift results often vary from patient to patient, but typically last from 12-18 months. It is possible to have the treatment again once the previous threads are fully dissolved.
​
Do PDO Threads dissolve?
Threads used in a PDO thread lift are typically made from polydioxanone, a biodegradable material used for medical stitches which dissolves naturally within the body. The threads are generally fully dissolved 9 months following your treatment, while they help stimulate collagen production.
