PDO Threads
Smooth PDO threads, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, offer a range of benefits while carrying some inherent risks. These threads, made from biocompatible material, are inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas, rejuvenating the face without the need for extensive surgery. The procedure boasts several advantages:
Non-Surgical Rejuvenation: Smooth PDO threads provide a non-surgical option for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation. This can be particularly appealing for those who wish to enhance their appearance without the downtime and potential complications associated with traditional surgical procedures
Natural-Looking Results: By stimulating collagen production, PDO threads help improve skin texture and elasticity over time. This results in a more natural-looking enhancement as the skin gradually becomes firmer and more youthful.
Immediate Lift: One of the immediate benefits of the procedure is a noticeable lift in the treated areas. This lift is particularly effective in addressing mild to moderate sagging in the cheeks, jowls, and neck, providing a more defined facial contour.
Minimal Discomfort and Downtime: The insertion of smooth PDO threads is relatively comfortable, often requiring only local anesthesia. Downtime is limited compared to surgery, with many individuals able to resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure

FAQ
WHAT ARE PDO THREADS?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are a special medical grade thread that is thinner than hair, 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 neocollagenesis (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 A PDO THREAD TREATMENT LIKE?
A tiny entry is made and the threads are inserted via a cannula. Once the threads are in place, the body produces new collagen around the thread.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM PDO THREADS?
PDO thread 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 A THREAD LIFT?
Thread 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 are 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
