What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO Thread Lift is an innovative, minimally-invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery that helps restore youthful facial contours without the need for deep incisions or extended downtime. This advanced treatment uses dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads to subtly lift and tighten sagging skin while simultaneously stimulating your body's natural collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin.
The treatment offers both immediate and progressive results, providing instant skin lifting and contouring while continuing to improve skin texture and firmness over time through enhanced collagen production. Perfect for addressing mild to moderate skin laxity, PDO Thread Lifts can effectively target multiple areas including the jawline, cheeks, jowls, and neck, delivering natural-looking rejuvenation that can last up to 12 months.
About PDO Thread Lift
A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally-invasive alternative to a facelift that makes your skin look firmer and smoother by subtly lifting sagging skin and revolumising the face. It stimulates ongoing collagen and elastin production while providing an instant, rejuvenating and contouring effect.
How PDO Thread Lift Works
The procedure involves placing dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone into the deeper layers of your skin. These threads act as anchors to lift the skin while stimulating a powerful collagen-boosting response within the body. The treatment takes around one hour to complete.
Treatment Areas
Jawline
Jowls
Under-eye area
Cheeks
Nasolabial folds
Smile lines
Neck
Benefits and Results
You'll see immediate improvement following treatment, with results continuing to enhance over 8-12 weeks as collagen production increases. Final results are visible around two months after treatment, lasting up to 12 months.
Best for: People with mild to moderate skin laxity, sagging, or sun-damaged skin
Downtime: Minimal - most people return to regular activities immediately
The Procedure
Your practitioner will cleanse the area and apply local anaesthetic before inserting cannulas into the skin. The PDO barbed threads are then applied and any excess is trimmed once the skin has been contoured into place. The entire procedure takes approximately one hour.
Recovery and Aftercare
While there's no extended downtime, you may experience mild swelling and bruising. For best results:
Avoid strenuous exercise and saunas for the first few days
Don't sleep on your side for the first week
Avoid rubbing or irritating the treated skin
Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner
Safety Information
PDO Thread Lifts are considered safe when performed by qualified professionals. The threads are made from a biocompatible material with a long history of medical use. While rare, potential side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort around injection sites.
