PDO Thread Lift

If you have mild skin laxity and medium thickness dermal layer you will do best with PDO threads. 

Being the right candidate for PDO threads is key for getting the best results. If you have too thick or too thin of a dermis, the threads will not be as effective. Our nurse injector Maya will guide you.

They last 9 - 12 months. 

By using skin tightening devices such as the NuEra, it can prolong the results and further stimulate collagen.

Yes - threads hurt; this is why we use numbing gel prior to treating. 

Threads can be used to target key areas such as the mid & lower face, providing an objective lift in these areas. In addition to the lifting effect, threads can also help to improve skin tone and texture. The results from threads typically last around 6-12 months, making them a great option for those looking for long-lasting results.

The results from threads are often better when used in conjunction with skin tightening procedures such as NuEra.

Threads are made of suture material known as polydioxanone or PDO for short. Placed in the deep dermal & hypodermis, this material creates fibrosis or collagen stimulation. This in turn provides structure, improves skin tone, turgor & thickness. Placement of threads is dependent on the individual case but is usually about 2-4mm below the skin. After placement, threads are pulled tight in opposite directions and tied off. The knots are then buried beneath the skin. Dissolvable threads will slowly degrade over 4-6 months, while non-dissolvable threads will remain indefinitely. As the body natural regenerates collagen, it does so around the threads, providing long-lasting lift & support.

The degree of swelling and bruising differs between patients. In most it is only mild and many patients will return to work the next day. However complete resolution of swelling and bruising will take 2-4 weeks.

Downtime will be individual to the patient. In most cases there is mild bruising and swelling, but most patients can return to work the next day. It may take 2-4 weeks for all bruising and swelling to completely go away.
