What is PDO Threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are fine, dissolvable threads used to lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery. They stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and contour over time.
The Treatment Process
A topical anaesthetic is applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort.
PDO threads are carefully inserted into the skin using fine needles or cannulas.
Threads are positioned to lift and support the skin while stimulating collagen production.
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes depending on the areas treated.

How the Treatment Works
PDO threads act as a scaffold under the skin, lifting sagging tissues immediately.
Over the following weeks, threads stimulate collagen and elastin production.
The threads dissolve naturally over 6–9 months, leaving firmer, rejuvenated skin.
