PDO Threads

The Benefits of a Facelift But Without The Surgery!

Are you frustrated with sagging skin, fine lines, and loss of facial contour? Do you wish you could turn back the clock on ageing without resorting to invasive surgery and weeks of recovery? As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen, leading to a tired, aged appearance that can impact our confidence and self-image.

Imagine how it would feel to:
 

  • Look in the mirror and see a refreshed, revitalised version of yourself


  • Compliments on your youthful, radiant appearance


  • The confidence to go makeup-free, knowing your skin looks fantastic


  • No more worries about jowls, turkey neck, or drooping brows


The effects of ageing skin go beyond aesthetics. It can affect your self-esteem, social interactions, and even professional opportunities. Don't let sagging skin hold you back from feeling your absolute best.

  • How do PDO threads compare to other anti-wrinkle treatments like anti wrinkle or dermal fillers?
    PDO threads offer a different approach to facial rejuvenation compared to anti wrinkle or dermal fillers. While anti wrinkle relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles and fillers add volume to specific areas, PDO threads provide a lifting effect and stimulate collagen production across a larger area. Threads can be particularly effective for addressing sagging skin and improving overall facial contours, which anti wrinkle and fillers don't directly target. Many patients choose to combine these treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation. During your consultation, we can discuss which treatment or combination would best suit your specific needs and goals.
  • What are the different types of PDO threads available, and how do they differ?
    There are three main types of PDO threads, each designed for specific purposes: Smooth Threads: Also known as mono threads Very fine and smooth in texture Primary purpose: Stimulating collagen production Best for: Improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and enhancing overall skin quality Typically inserted in a mesh-like pattern to create a supportive structure beneath the skin Barbed Threads: Feature small barbs or cogs along their length Primary purpose: Lifting and repositioning sagging skin Best for: Addressing jowls, nasolabial folds, and drooping cheeks or eyebrows The barbs anchor into the tissue, providing stronger lifting capabilities Come in various sub-types (e.g., uni-directional, bi-directional) for different lifting effects Twisted or Braided Threads: Consist of two or more PDO threads intertwined Primary purpose: Adding volume and providing lift Best for: Filling deep wrinkles, enhancing facial contours, and providing moderate lift Offer a combination of the collagen-stimulating benefits of smooth threads and some of the lifting capabilities of barbed threads Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable type or combination of threads based on your specific concerns, desired outcomes, and facial anatomy. Often, a treatment plan may include a mix of different thread types to achieve optimal results in various areas of the face or body.

  • What are PDO threads and how do they work?
    PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are fine, biodegradable sutures that are inserted beneath the skin to lift and rejuvenate it. They work in two ways: firstly, they provide an immediate lifting effect by mechanically supporting the skin. Secondly, they stimulate collagen production over time, which helps improve skin texture and elasticity. As the threads gradually dissolve over several months, they leave behind new collagen, resulting in longer-lasting rejuvenation.
  • Is the PDO thread procedure painful, and is there any downtime?
    The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Most patients report feeling only slight pressure or a mild tugging sensation during the treatment. After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days. However, downtime is minimal, and most people can return to their normal activities within a day or two. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and facial treatments for about two weeks post-procedure.
  • How long do the results of PDO threads last?
    The results of PDO threads can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on various factors such as your age, skin condition, lifestyle, and the type of threads used. The immediate lifting effect is visible right after the treatment, but the full rejuvenating effects, including improved skin texture and elasticity, typically become more apparent over the following months as collagen production increases.
  • Are PDO threads safe, and are there any side effects?
    PDO threads have been used in medical procedures for decades and are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified professional. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential side effects. These may include temporary swelling, bruising, slight asymmetry, or visible thread ends. In rare cases, more serious complications like infection or thread migration can occur. It's crucial to choose an experienced practitioner and follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions to minimise risks.
  • How long do the results last?
    The duration of results varies by treatment. Body fillers typically last 6-18 months depending on the area and product used.
  • Are the treatments painful?
    Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. Topical anesthetics or numbing agents are often used to enhance comfort during the procedure.
  • Is there downtime?
    Downtime is usually minimal, with most patients returning to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Some swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves quickly.
