"PDO threads are one of our favorite facial rejuvenation treatments. We have placed, lifted and smoothed more than 600 clients over the past 4 years".

How does a PDO Thread Lift work?
After topical numbing and infusion of local anesthetia, barbed polydioxanone (PDO) threads are delicately inserted under the skin using a specialized cannula to insert the threads and mechanically lift sagging tissues. Once inserted, the threads anchor the skin with barbs or cones and lift it upwards. The threads are tightened and then cut off just under your skin (at the insertion points). In addition to lifting and tightening the skin physically, the PDO threads also activate the body’s “healing response,” stimulating continuous collagen production where they are placed.
As the body gradually absorbs the threads over six months, they are replaced with fresh collagen, which helps secure the skin in its new position, reduces laxity (by thickening and hydrating the skin), and prevents laxity from getting worse (by strengthening the skin).
By providing this ongoing and progressive rejuvenation, a PDO Thread Lift can help you achieve tighter, younger-looking features for 15+ months or more. Unlike a surgical facelift, this procedure can be performed in under 60 minutes (depending how many threads are placed), with only local anesthesia, and requires almost no recovery time.
- You can see some lifting effect immediately after your treatment, but results are seen most from around 2-6 months after.
- Results are natural - You look like yourself only refreshed
