About
PDO (Polydioxanone) thread treatment is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used for skin tightening and lifting. It involves inserting absorbable PDO threads under the skin using fine needles to stimulate collagen production and provide a lifting effect.
Types of PDO Threads​
-
Mono Threads – Smooth threads that mainly stimulate collagen for skin tightening.
-
Cog Threads – Have barbs/hooks for a stronger lifting effect, commonly used for jowls and sagging skin.
-
Screw/Twisted Threads – Designed to add volume and enhance collagen production in specific areas.
Consultation
A PDO thread lift consultation is essential to determine if you're a good candidate for the procedure and to customise a treatment plan based on your goals.
Examine your skin laxity and facial structure.
Discuss your medical history (previous treatments, medications, allergies, etc.).
Identify concerns such as sagging, wrinkles, or volume loss.
