PDO Thread Lift

A non-surgical lifting treatment using fine, dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) threads to mechanically lift and support areas of laxity, while stimulating new collagen production as the threads dissolve over several months.

What PDO Thread Lift Treats

  • Jawline laxity and jowling
  • Mid-face sagging
  • Loss of facial contour with age

What to Expect

  1. Consultation

    A full assessment to confirm you are a suitable candidate for thread lifting.

  2. Numbing

    Local anaesthetic is used to keep the treatment comfortable throughout.

  3. Treatment

    Threads are inserted along the treatment area using a fine cannula or needle — around 45–60 minutes.

  4. Settling

    Mild swelling and tightness settle over 1–2 weeks, with continued collagen stimulation over following months.

Aftercare

  • Avoid wide jaw movement, dental work and facial massage for 2 weeks.
  • Sleep on your back, elevated, for the first few nights.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 1 week.
  • Some pulling or tightness is normal and settles over 1–2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lifting effects typically last 12–18 months, with ongoing collagen benefits continuing after threads dissolve.

It is a non-surgical option suited to mild-to-moderate laxity — not a replacement for a surgical facelift in more advanced cases.
