PDO threads are used to create lift and volume in areas of the face and body that have begun to sag due to aging. PDO suture has been used in procedures, such as open-heart surgery, for years making it very safe to introduce to the body.

Results are immediately noticeable to you and continue to increase over the next few months as the body fully absorbs the threads. These results typically last between six months and one year. PDO Threadlift cost varies depending on the area to be treated and whether other treatments are performed at the same time. We can discuss the cost you during your complimentary consultation. 

• Long-lasting results
• Little risk of adverse reaction
• Little to no downtime
• Treats several areas of the face and body
• May be repeated as necessary
• Excellent alternative to a facelift

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

Lidocaine injection applied to the entry points following which threads are introduced into the skin through a fine needle- into either the skin itself, the muscle, or the subcutaneous fat. The treatment results in an immediate improvement in appearance but the results will improve over ensuing days and weeks as the PDO stimulates neocollagenesis, increasing the amount of collagen in the skin. The appearance of the skin improves in terms of overall texture, becoming thicker, tighter and firmer as fine lines and wrinkles are reduced.

This is a very versatile treatment which can be used in any part of the face and neck to treat

-sagging brows

-,nasolabial lines,

- vertical and horizontal forehead wrinkles, 

-drooping cheeks, marionette lines, 

-sagging jawline,

-plus wrinkles and folds on the chin and neck.

Threads are not a good fit if:

• you have active acne/broken skin or are prone to cold sores
• You have taken anticoagulation medications such as aspirin/warfarin/heparin or have consumed alcohol within 48 hours of treatment (we advise you to continue taking prescribed medications but stop taking some complimentary supplements such as evening primrose oil, vitamin D,A and E, fish oils, flax seed oil, magnesium, garlic and ginko prior to treatment)

• Some pain/discomfort after treatment can be expected, Ibuprofen can be taken if required.
• Do not have any other aesthetic procedures (such as toxins, fillers, peels etc.) for 7 days
• Avoid extreme temperatures, alcohol and anticoagulants for 7 days. Those taking Prescribed anticoagulants such as aspirin/warfarin must continue to do so but must be aware that bruising is more likely
• Gently wash the treated area as required, but do not rub or massage for 2 weeks
• It is important not to overstretch the treated area (i.e. open the mouth wide) for 4 weeks (avoid dental treatment during this time if possible)
• Do not have Radio-frequency, IPL, Laser or other heat treatments near the treated area for 10 weeks

• Pain/tenderness
• Thread protrusion, puckering of the skin
• Bleeding/bruising/haematoma
• Infection, granuloma
• Swelling/inflammation
• Migration (cogs)
• Asymmetry
• Facial nerve trauma
• Stinging/scratching/pulling sensations
• Allergic reaction

Most people will have no problem resuming normal activities immediately after treatment. If all instructions are followed the process will be comfortable, fast and provide an effective recovery time
