FAQ’S

How long do results last?

Results last on average 8 – 15 months.

Are all PDO threads the same?

There are several different types of thread that can be used. Which will be recommended for you, will depend on the areas that you are targeting with the treatment and the type of improvement you are hoping to achieve. For example, cog threads are most commonly used to lift sagging tissue around the jaw and neck in order to improve the patient’s profile. Meanwhile, screw threads can be used for plumping and adding volume to deficient areas, such as the cheeks, as well as lifting.

What areas can PDO thread lift be used on?

PDO therapy can be successfully used on various areas of the face including the cheeks, brow, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline and neck. It can also be used on the body, arms, thighs and abdomen.

Does a PDO thread lift hurt?

The procedure itself is minimally invasive and does cause micro-injuries to layers within the skin. As such, patients are given a local anesthetic before their treatment which will ensure that they remain comfortable and relaxed throughout.

What side effects can I expect after a PDO thread lift?

A great benefit of a PDO thread lift is that the side effects are minimal. You may notice a little swelling and bruising that lasts for a few days, after which time it should fade. There is no downtime and you can get back to your usual routine right away.
