What to Expect

Elevate Your Look with Our PDO Thread Lift Treatment

First, a local anaesthetic cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Fine needles, preloaded with the threads, are then carefully inserted under the skin. These threads have small barbs that are activated by gently pulling the threads. It causes the barbs to hook into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. This action tightens and lifts the skin, achieving an immediate rejuvenating effect.
The treatment takes about an hour. You’ll be able to see the changes as they occur, allowing you to approve the results in real time. After the needles are removed, the threads are securely knotted and concealed beneath the skin. These threads will naturally dissolve over 6-9 months. The lifting and firming effects can last up to two years, as they also stimulate collagen production in the treated areas.

What to Know About Thread Lifting

Thread lifting is a non-surgical method of achieving a younger-looking face and neck by implanting very fine threads of polydioxanone, which have small barbs all along their length, in the subcutaneous layer of the skin. When pulled, the threads plump the skin and produce a smoother look. Polydioxanone is a biodegradable substance used in sutures, so the effect will only be temporary.
As the threads are manufactured using the same material that is used in sutures, they are a very safe, biodegradable alternative to invasive face-lift surgery.
The threads are placed under the skin using thin needles. Once in place, the threads are pulled and the skin is tightened and plumped, by barbs, which embed themselves into the subcutaneous layer of your skin. The threads initiate an inflammatory response, which promotes collagen manufacture in the treated areas. This process also improves blood flow to the skin. The result is facial skin that looks younger and fresher

Side Effects

The common side effects are generally connected with the injection sites and usually resolve themselves within two days. They include:
  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Soreness
  • Temporary Skin Dimpling

After Care

To avoid swelling and bruising:
  • Do not rub or massage the face for two weeks
  • Do not open the mouth wide for three to four weeks (avoid dental treatment for two weeks if possible)
  • Avoid direct sunlight and tanning machines
  • Avoid alcohol and aspirin for seven days
  • Avoid blood thinning vitamins A,C and E for seven days
  • Avoid physical exercise for seven days
  • Avoid heat treatments on the treated areas for ten weeks
  • Anti-inflammatory medication may be taken after seven days
  • Avoid temperature extremes

Thread Lift FAQs

A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. The threads have small barbs that catch onto the subcutaneous layer of the skin, providing an immediate lifting effect.
The Thread Lift typically takes about an hour. Local anaesthetic cream is applied to minimise discomfort, and the threads are inserted using fine needles.
Immediately after the treatment, you may notice a lifting effect. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. It’s important not to rub or massage the treated areas to allow the threads to settle properly.
The results from a Thread Lift can last up to two years. The threads themselves dissolve naturally within 6-9 months, but the collagen stimulation they trigger continues to benefit the skin for much longer.
Ideal candidates for a Thread Lift are those experiencing mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually in their 30s to 50s. It’s most effective for patients who want a lift without invasive surgery.
