*Available at selected clinics only.
How it works
Available at select clinics only, PDO thread lift treatment is most commonly used to help tighten sagging skin on the face without the need for invasive surgery. The cheeks, eyebrows, jawline, neck, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines can all benefit from PDO therapy.
PDO threads are implanted into the skin’s subcutaneous layer to act as anchors as the skin is raised upwards. The external threads are then snipped and the skin is lifted immediately as the fat tissue is constricted. PDO threads act similar to volumisers but instead of leaving a solution in the skin, a thread is left until it dissolves.
Our Medical Team starts by applying a numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure client comfort.
PDO Threads involve small blunt-tip needles that insert fine, absorbable polydioxanone threads into the skin’s subcutaneous layer. Polydioxanone is the same material used in surgery to close wounds and also used in the lifting procedure. These threads cause micro-injuries that remain implanted in the skin to promote collagen synthesis.
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.
PDO thread lift treatment is most commonly used to help tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and body without the need for invasive surgery. The cheeks, eyebrows, jawline, neck, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines can all benefit from PDO therapy.
The PDO thread lift method stimulates collagen production in the skin, and after three months, collagen develops around the threads, creating a lifting effect that lasts between 12-18 months.
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.

Why am I required to complete a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) screening?
We want to ensure you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.

What happens in a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) screening?
Our healthcare professionals will ask general questions about BDD in your medical history form upon arrival at your appointment, followed by formal screening if deemed necessary. This helps us tailor treatment plans and make informed decisions to ensure your well-being.
Your privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us throughout the entire screening process.
-
Can I get Cosmetic Aesthetic treatments while pregnant?
No. Your safety is our main concern and for this reason, we do not treat clients who are pregnant. We advise against all Cosmetic Aesthetic treatments while pregnant simply out of precaution and due to the lack of information available on Cosmetic Aesthetic treatment effects on the fetus.
