PDO Threads: A Revolutionary Approach to Skin Rejuvenation

Discover the Secret to Youthful Skin

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin, offering natural-looking results without the need for surgery. Whether you’re looking to redefine your facial contours or simply refresh your appearance, PDO threads provide a safe and effective solution tailored to your needs.

What Are PDO Threads?

PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a biocompatible material used in medical sutures for decades. Once inserted into the skin, these threads act as a scaffold, lifting sagging tissues while stimulating collagen production. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve, leaving behind firmer, rejuvenated skin.

How Do PDO Threads Work?

  1. Lift and Contour

    • The threads are strategically placed under the skin to provide immediate support to sagging areas. This creates a lifting effect, enhancing your natural facial contours.

  2. Stimulate Collagen Production

    • As the threads dissolve over the next 8-10 months, they encourage the skin to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid - key components for maintaining elasticity, hydration, and volume.

  3. Natural Rejuvenation

    • Long term results evolve gradually, offering a subtle, natural improvement over the following 6-12 months

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Consultation

    • Dr. David will assess your skin and discuss your goals to create a personalised treatment plan.

  2. Preparation

    • A local anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

  3. Thread Placement

    • Using fine needles or cannulas, the PDO threads are inserted into targeted areas. The entire process typically takes around 60 minutes.

  4. Post-Treatment Care

    • You may experience mild swelling or bruising, which subsides within a few days. There are a few restrictions, such as no facial massages for 2 weeks, but with the exception of the tiny insertion points, there is no downtime.
