About PDO Threads
Available at select clinics only, PDO Threads are a non-invasive Cosmetic Injectable treatment that tightens and firms the skin, addressing crepey and sagging skin.
Performed exclusively by our Medical Team of experienced Doctors and Registered Nurses, the technique tightens the skin, and improves sagging tissue and facial contour. All of this works together to give you enhanced skin texture, fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and improved collagen production. Results are seen in 8-12 weeks and last up to 12 months.
PDO Thread treatment areas include crow's feet, the lower part of the face, jawline, and jowls.
Our Medical Team starts by applying a numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure client comfort.
The threads are then precisely and gently placed under the skin using a cannula. The thread material is made from PDO (polydioxanone), the same material used in surgery to close wounds.
After the threads are in place, they are gently pulled back to tighten sagging areas.
PDO Threads dissolve over time stimulating collagen and elastin production which help to tighten, firm, and lift your skin.
Individual results may vary. A consultation before the first treatment is required, so please notify us of any health conditions or medical history during this appointment. This information will ensure your individual needs are assessed and that appropriate guidance is given.

Results
PDO Threads tighten and firm the skin. Treatment results are seen in 8-12 weeks and last up to 12 months. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen and elastin production to achieve a complete anti-ageing effect.

To ensure optimum results, we recommend a maintenance treatment at 12 months after your initial treatment.
PDO Threads can be performed in conjunction with our other Skin or Cosmetic Injectables treatments.

Results
Results are seen in 8-12 weeks and last up to 12 months. Threads remain in place for up to six months and then slowly dissolve. While the threads start dissolving at approximately 3 months, the collagen stimulation can last up to 12 months.
